That's my knockout friend Edie in the middle. She grew up on Block Island, and some of her wonderful reminiscences are in this youtube video. She was the first warden (mayor) of Block Island for years. She performed the marriage of Chris and Hannah. And her video debut appeared on her 93rd birthday last month. She is an amazing person, one of the few Block Islanders who was welcoming to outsiders regardless of race, religion or sexual preference. A book of her stories, Bound By Blue,  will appear shortly. I will post wen that becomes available.
