These are all sayings by people who reside or have visited the island and these are their opinions not mine. 
YOU KNOW YOU'RE AN ISLANDER IF...
You do anything and everyone on the island knows it within an hour.
You never give dierections by street names instead you say "turn right at the stone house" or at the top of Tight's Hill".
You don't need an invitation to go to a party.
You go to the Post Office or the Shamrock to catch up on the latest gossip.
When everyone who remembered you moving there has passed away.
Kevin Beuret:
You know Skip McDonough's real name.
You've ever been overtaken in January by a terrible longing for summertime and another Beaver Island Vacation.
You begin to think of other tourists as "outsiders." Isn't that the truth.
You've mastered the "Beaver Island wave"(or got funny looks on the mainland for waving at strangers in oncoming cars.)
Ann Marie Haley:
You remember Margaret Hanley gathering news for the Charlevoix Curier and the Allen Clan(Allen's Cabins)
Homecoming and the August dinner/dance; movies at the Hall; Mrs. Spalding's plays.
Archie bartending at the Shamrock:Minnie Pearl picking berries.
Big James and Little James Gallagher.
You can do the " Beaver Island Swing".
