Gazette Chronicle: Lobster Tales

Lobster Tales

From the Vineyard Gazette editions of September, 1983:

John T. Hughes joined a distinguished team of ocean scientists from around the world for a trip to the once-closed nation of China. His passport was his career here on the Island, as a leading biologist studying Homarus americanus — the American lobster. His expertise is unequalled and often sought out by those interested in the raising of lobsters. Mr. Hughes built and has managed the state lobster hatchery in Oak Bluffs since its inception in 1949.

 

 

 

Miss Hilde

From Gazette editions of November, 1984:

Provincetown-Boston Airlines resumed limited operations Sunday, two weeks after the Federal Aviation Administration took away its license for major safety violations. The airline expects to be back to its full fall schedule by early next week. Service began at the end of the busy Thnksgiving weekend with a fleet of PBA’s smallest nine-passenger Cessna 402 aircraft. The airline flew its regular schedule to and from the Vineyard, but provided only a single Cessna on each flight.

An Island Apart

From the Gazette edition of October 9, 1959:

Joseph E. Howes of West Tisbury visited Tarpaulin Cove, Naushon Island, a couple of weeks ago. Taken to the island aboard the party boat of his neighbor, Nelson Bryant, Mr. Howes visited the scene of his youth for the first time since he left it sixty-five years ago.

Fun in the Sun

From an October, 1994 Just a Thought, by Art Railton:

At least a dozen times since Labor Day I’ve been asked, “Did you have a fun summer?” I never know how to respond. How would I know? Those of us who live here don’t spend much time thinking about having fun in summer. We’re too busy making sure that everyone else is.
