    Loved hearing your greetings to Martha’s Vineyard listeners!  I lived there for 12 years and my daughter is still there.  It is a special place and I’m delighted to know that their station can listen to the same programs I’m hearing here in Michigan.   Alison Shaw’s photograph is, indeed, lovely – as all all her photographs.  She’s a friend of my former husband who was also a Vineyard photographer.  Now I’m a bit homesick for the Island!!

    The station IDs are getting really long.  I think communities are served better locally.  I’m sure the Martha’s Vinyard residents are as uninterested in Boston’s weather as I am about theirs.
