Re: On a lighter note

Barb that one really hit home. There’s an early jazz magazine I collect, called the jazz record. It had a run of about 60 issues.

Re: Find the Good

I’ve enjoyed this writer ever since we read one of her books for book club. I go to her website about once a month to catch up on her blog posts. Quite a few parallels between her small town in Alaska and our island. Just search for her name, if interested.

Some of us community members who like to give a little gift to the graduates might have some difficulty doing so if we’re being careful about social distancing. So if anyone wants an easy and safe way to drop off a gift, there will be a box on the bench in front of the community center tomorrow from...

Re: Carol Creasser RIP

It’ll never be the same walking into the community center and knowing Carol won’t be there. She did so much for the preservation society. She’ll be greatly missed.

Re: Echo connect

This is not an echo, it’s an accessory that can turn your echo into a telephone. If you don’t already have an echo, it won’t be of any use. Sorry if my original post was unclear.
