Word has reached us of the passing of Ed Johnson.  Please add information as you learn of it. Peter

So long, it’s been good to know yuh; So long, it’s been good to know yuh; So long, it’s been good to know yuh. This dusty old dust is a-gettin’ my home, And I got to be driftin’ along   Monhegan Commons will no longer be up dated on a daily basis, and the plan […]

Hi Peter, General consensus in the light of day is that we were beyond lucky on Sunday night.  It wasn’t very windy, it was REALLY warm for February and Sue Bolman’s well was full.  The pumps didn’t freeze, the wind didn’t take the fire to surrounding houses or the backside and we were able to […]

Ed Donegan died in his sleep last night.  No details.

With great sorrow I learned of Bob and Ann Bartels loss of their longtime pet (and friend), Shadrach.  Shadrach, at 42, died suddenly.  If you have a picture of the Island’s most famous parrot please either post it here or send it to me and I will do so for you.

In the event you missed it,  Monhegan is considered the only “little known dream Island” in the US and is in the top 10 of the world.

This site needs an Art page – which needs an art editor/monitor.  Some knowledge of art is necessary but more important is the ability to stimulate and embolden others to share their subjective Monhegan art experience. It is all an experiment is sharing.  If you are interested in exploring this possibility further, please contact Peter.

FRIENDS, It is really too long and too dumb a story to relay here, but obviously we are back on-line. Some good things have come as a result of all the screw ups though, not the least of which has been my refocusing on you rather than on getting pretty pictures up on time.  (With […]

You can post directly by registering on this page.  This may be sloppy at first as I am at least as new to this system as most of you, but together (with Jim as the technical glue) we can share better the Monhegan we hold in common. Give it a try, Peter

Jim has kindly mentioned that I was or would be away for a month or so.  True enough, depending on how you use “away”.  Actually, there are two things going on that would take me out of the active site.  One is the new format, of course.  This is really Jim’s world.  Mine is more […]

So here we are — Monhegan Commons is on a new road. Lots of bumps. But it is a commons and so we’re together in the construction of this venture. Please subscribe and participate Peter
