Summary

The August 1969 issue records several changes in seasonal residence. The Wilke family and James Martin’s family were reported as new island residents, while the Laheys and Ernest Martins planned winter stays. The Howlands, Crawfords, Gallaghers, Earleys, and Southerns were reported as leaving for mainland homes or winter locations.
