I am 44 years old and my folks built our place on Chappaquiddick back when I was a toddler. Last July on our annual family trip to the Island I stumbled into what turned out to be the workshop of Bob Douglas. The fisherman’s look, along with a Black Dog hat inspired me to ask if he was Mr. Douglas. He was, in fact, and graciously allowed me to introduce him to my family, including my kids, Avery and Ethan, and snap the photo. Several days later we happened into the Poole’s supply shop in Menemsha.

I’m here to tell you softball fans that the beauti ful wooden engraved sign for Flanders Field designed by John Scott and his wife has survived the ravages of winter. This means that the softball season in Chilmark will start on Sunday, June 27. I hope the old-time ball players like Ziggy, Jim Wallen, Caleb and Dan Pinck have withstood the ravages of time as well. I understand that Dan has developed a submarine stinker to go with his wicked knuckleball pitch while playing in the Pelican League down in Florida.
