Bring Your Own
Editors, Vineyard Gazette:
If you would like a drink with your meal in a Vineyard Haven restaurant, you can do that now.
Why risk the possibility of losing control of the way our quiet, safe town develops by voting to serve beer and wine.
Once Tisbury is not dry, it is not dry forever.
After you vote on April 15 to keep Tisbury dry, you can take your beer or wine with you and go to dinner in many of our local restaurants.

NOT SO NOSTALGIC
Editors, Vineyard Gazette:
MISS MY PAPA
Editors, Vineyard Gazette:
Many people told me in the past few weeks that my grandfather, Peter Williamson, was a great guy and very respected. They said when he was the chief he was known for helping people. I am too young to know about those years.
I knew him as my Papa.
He would watch movies with me any time I wanted. He would watch the same Elmo movies over and over.
SEAT BELTS SAVE LIVES
Editors, Vineyard Gazette:
We were deeply saddened to hear about the death of Brandy Marie Gibson in an automobile accident. We did not know her but understand she was a beautiful young woman. Our hearts go out to her family and friends.
According to the police, Brandy and the two other people severely injured in the accident were not wearing seat belts.
FOR THE CHIEF
Editors, Vineyard Gazette:
I write to thank the residents of the Vineyard for the kindness extended toward the Williamson family suffering the loss of Peter Williamson, known on the Vineyard as The Chief.
I drove down from Boston on Jan. 27, the most wretched snowy day of winter with winds blustering around 50 miles per hour, with my sister, her daughter, and my cousin to attend the wake and funeral for Peter Williamson, our cousin.
