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.

Atomic Bottles

From Gazette editions of September, 1959:

A belief that the bottles set adrift in large numbers by the Coast and Geodetic Survey and found by many persons on Vineyard beaches are involved in the plans of the Atomic Energy Commission to arrange for dumping of atomic waste at sea, is borne out by a statement of the AEC.

Tuesday Chronicle: Heroes in the Air

Cynthia Meisner

From an August, 1984 Gazette edition:

Walter D. Rheno, a decorated fighter pilot in World War I, was the Vineyard’s own. At a time when the United States had not yet entered the war, there were still stories of heroism about Americans who went to fight in France against the German invasion. Mr. Rheno joined the French Lafayette Esquadrille early in the year of 1917 and within a year returned a hero.
