Hi, I'm back, Just wanted to share one more thing with you. Just found this nice article---written by Jewel Jerome---I wonder if she's related to Jenny Jerome??? It's titled A TASTE OF NANTUCKET, Book rekindles memories of youth on island --------- I grew up in a big, drafty house on Cape Cod, at the top of a cliff overlooking Vineyard Sound. On a clear day, you can see Nantucket Island from the bay window in the livingroom, and mark the hours by the horn blasts of the ferry boats traveling between Wood's Hole and Martha's Vineyard. I remember digging for clams when I was no more than 4 years old, searching for the tiny breathing holes that meant a clam was hiding just beneath the mud. Surrounded by an endless supply of fresh-off-the-boat delights, I was lucky enough to grow up eating things like "quahogs" (the Pequot Indian word for hard-shelled clams), bluefish and lobster. ------How about that folks. Doesn't that make you want to go where William Chase walked. ????? The museum there holds much info. on the Chase Seafaring Captains and seamen Ginger.
