Thank you, Hazel, and thank you, David!
So wonderful to listen to this program. It is the mix of people that I like about Greenport, too. And, her deep waters!
Thank you for the wonderful interviews with Otto Schoenstein and David Berson. Great characters right here in Greenport. Creative energy turned community support.
I am in awe of the dedication to supporting the crafts of boating and ship building, preserving the historic past of the area while keeping an eye on present and future.
