Judy ….. I believe it was your wonderful house on the hill toward Barbara’s that we stayed perhaps two times …. I did a picture from the downstairs window, looking up toward the top … I worked with Clay K that year and became dear friends with Marie with whom I still correspond to this day. It was a wonderful house… wonderful times… I miss it very much but I don’t get around like I used to and that was before I was divorced, which changed everything ….. that dear Island holds so many memories. Can’t imagine it without Peter and Ricki either ….. Talk about ‘evocative lingerings’ … boy

Those were the days I remember…a huge gang of us, there all summer and beyond. I have discovered that we remember more when we were more invested in our time as youngsters. The island was there, the people were there. The rest was up to us. It would be difficult, if not impossible, to forget summers of our own design. I hardly ever go out there these days…it has changed. I look at it from the mainland and will always love it. But everything evolves. And what hasn’t changed is the exquisite beauty of Monhegan and how it impacts everyone who lives there, or visits.

Don’t know what generation ( lol ) you are but you seem to remember lots and ‘say’ it so well. I lived to be on the island once a year and was there pretty much 22/23 years in a row …. and miss it so much now. I hear it has changed a lot….. a bit sad…… I remember it with no electricity and lines waiting to use the phone at Monhegan House when June Day and Henley were there. Drop me a note if you want to.
