Margie of Rumford, Maine said... Impressed to find my great-grandfather, Major Albert B. Holmes, mentioned in "Brief Historical Data and Mamories of My Boyhood Days in Nantucket", Joseph E.C. Farnham author, printed in 1915. The book has a plate sewn into the original binding addressed to Major Holmes from Mr. Farnham, dated April 6, 1915. I'm reading -- "on" page 178 of this very interesting text and thought it important that I share my interest with you on the "island in the sea". I heard that term many times during my childhood but never really knew what it meant until I took this particular book from my parents' home and finally settled down to concentrate on it. Now I know what my grandmother, Hilda Holmes Wetherington, her sister Ava, and her brothers Ralph and Roscoe Holmes were talking about all those years ago as I was growing up in their stories of memories they had. I hope to visit your special island very soon.

kmacdonald of Cambridge, MA said... Lovely site. Planning our first visit to Nantucket this winter. We like shore life any time of the year. I have a question I hope someone can answer. I recently heard there is an inn or B&B which was converted from a former factory (don't recall what was produced there) and this place supposedly has a resident ghost. I'm also told some inns don't like talking about any rumored ghosts, but this one is okay about it. If anyone knows the name of the inn, please forward it to me. Thanks very much!

The rooms, the service and most important the food was terricic.

Susan Forbes of Gales Ferry, CT said... Can anyone tell me where I can purchase a satellite photo of Nantucket, complete with blue water and white beaches? This is for a Christmas gift - I'm having no luck at other sites on the web. Any info will be appreciated. Thanks!

b shaw of morristown nj said... Killing deer because of the black legged tick does not make sense, unless you also kill mice, birds, other small mammals. Justifying killing deer, when they are only one of the carriers of the black legged tick, is wrong unless you also kill all the other carriers. You are doing nothing about the tick problem. You are just giving hunter/killers an opportunity to exercise their pleasure in killing. A grisly exercise.

liz of Cape Cod said... If you are planning an event, we'd like to list it in our calendar -- please email allnantucket.com! Thanks

Kristin of Philadelphia said... I absolutely adore Nantucket! I am 15 now, and have been going since I was 6 months old! My family has been going to Nantucket for over 30 years, but we still don't own a home. My dad's dream is to retire someday and live there; he wanted me to get married in the church in Siasconset. I love spending two weeks in June each summer in Nantucket! For a great meal, go to Arno's for breakfast, Henry's for lunch, and the Sconset Cafe for dinner. The BEST ice cream on the island is BY FAR the Juice Bar! Try a homemade waffle cone- they're the best! It's the greatest place everyone should go there at least once in their life. But like all the other Nantucket-lovers, we don't like our island too crowded!!!!

lenny rasmussen of copenhagen,denmark said... I miss nantucket very much, and I was so glad to see nantucket island on web, small world.

Rick & Jane of Semour, CT said... So often, especially on an evening of sleet, snow and rain in February, we recall our special days at Nantucket in summertime, lazy days on bikes, by the water, a picnic and quilted memories, hands held in love, wind-filled sails, waters telling of worlds beyond, yet protecting us from the onslaught, removing the hardedge of life, wrapped in peace, enfolded in adventure of yet another day together in paradise.

Liz potts of newcastle england said... must come back soon.......

Allison and Gerry Pace and Kelley Savel of Boston, MA and Kenosha, WI said... Went to Nantucket (x-mas stroll)...We LOVED it! People are great!! Even made some new "island" friends!! Stayed at the 10 Lyon Street INN and BOY, do they know how to treat you like family (thanks Barry, Anne Marie, and Alexandra for showing us a good time)!!! Don't bring your car (we walked everywhere)...you don't need it (for those who love Boston traffic at rush hour, you should feel right at home)!!! Crowds are inevidable during the season, but don't let that deter you....Find your own beach and relax p.s. take the early ferry to and from Hyannis and the island to avoid having to sit on the floor...

Vivian Herbert of Englewood,Fl. said... Son and daughter and granddaughters live on the Island.

Joan Richards-Herndon of Cedar Springs, Ga. 31732 said... I read all, saw all and have never been in the upper East but would love to go there now. All we hear of that area in the South has to do with the Kennedys. That sometime just puts everyone off. We like the wide open spaces here but that Island sounds too good to be true. Does anyone want to comment on the lines at restraurants or places of interest, my husband is not much for long lines and waiting. Maybe I could slip off sometime with a friend and visit, that would be fun. Just sounding off in extreme S.W. Georgia. I'm originally from the Panama City, Florida area. Have any of you visited down this way? I love email and communicating. Are any of you Country Music fans? Do you ever listen to Ty Herndon? Don't say anything bad about that boy or we'll be all over you like white on rice. Aunt Joan

As a migratory who faithfully brings the family back year after year, I would love to see more "off the tourist trail" stuff. This would appeal to the veterans as well as newcomers who wish to experience Nantucket for all it's charm. The fishing reports are a good example as we are given info not readily found anywhere else. For those of you who wish to know more details on island geography and history, check out that spot. Five days and counting to 'Bon voyage'!

Catherine Powell of Pasadena, CA said... I need some assistance finding a summer home to rent for about one week in July (maybe August) of Summer 1997. The clincher is that we have about 15 people tht want to rent one or two homes for a family reunion. We don't have any small children and I promise we will be very neat and clean. Please let me know if anyone can help. Some of the family wants to go to Florida, but I am sure that Nantucket is the place to be.

mary blanchette of somerville ma said... I need some assistance finding a summer rental on Nantucket for early September. I've been surfing the net and there are many b&bs, guesthouses, and inns listed. How do I find information on cottages, for 2. Hope you can help me out, we really need a vacation.

Bo Kice of Dallas said... Nantucket is a magical place. It reminds me of when I was a kid growing up in Maryland. My bike could only take me so far and that was my world. The island's magic transports me back to that world.

Whit Thompson of Denver, CO said... Great page! Been summering on the Grey Lady for about 25 years now, and this is a terrific cross section of everything the island has to offer! You don't see too many ACK burgees in the Rockies, but now I have a link to one of my favorite places!

Peter Beekman of Rumson, NJ said... Enjoyed navigating your web pages. As a former summer homeowner, we have been thinking about renting for a period this summer. Thanks to your pages, our actual search has begun...but perhaps too late. Wish you all a wonderful summer, and if we're lucky, perhaps we'll see you in person.

Jeff Moersch of Ithaca, NY said... I was born on Nantucket almost thirty years ago, and yesterday I finally had the opportunity to realize a dream - I flew myself back there. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit, and intend to come back soon! Aside from when I'm flying, I'm a graduate student in Astronomy at Cornell, so I guess I'm following in Maria Mitchell's footsteps. I didn't have a chance to get out to the science center while I was in town, so that will be a priority for my next trip. The first house I lived in (10 Lyon St) is now a bed and breakfast, so I'm hoping I can even stay in my old room! Thanks for putting up the Web site - it's a very neat place to browse around and learn about my "home town".

Ted Monahan of Rhode Island said... Great web page!!!! I am in Nantucket only a few times a year, but feel as if it is home. Now I can find the newest and latest additons to the island. Thanks. I will be there on Monday, May 13th.

James M. Weeks of Greenwich,CT said... You've done a great job here! The presentation and order to the pages are far superior to all that I have seen for any "Town" pages. I hope one day to have the time to visit in person.

Laurence Roe of DUBLIN, Ireland said... There is an amazing atmosphere in Nantucket but it seems impossible to describe....I loved the place from the first day and for the whole of the summer.I wouldn't get a summer job anywhere else but there.

John Kershaw of San Diego, Ca. 92123 said... Sirs: As someone who loves Nantucket, and has visited and worked on Nantucket in the past, I am delighted to have found your WWW page. I'll return often. Sometime in the near future, I plan on a return visit, after not having been there in the last 20 years. I worked at the Skipper Restaurant, and at the Jared Coffin House in the mid 60's. And have stayed often with friends in Dionys. Sincerely, John Kershaw

Dan Cusick of Springfield, IL said... Nantucket Island is one of only two places in the world which I have visited which has an atmosphere so uniquely its own that it is absolutely like no other place on earth. [The other place is Paris!] My family and I have visited Nantucket twice (so far) and each time we have found ourselves totally engrossed in the aura of the island. When [not if] I win a Lotto, one of the first things I will do is buy a home on Nantucket, probably out in the Surfside area or out by 'Sconset. Nantucket - we love you!

Ryan Hale of Charlotte,NC said... I drove a cab there for two summers, met a lot of great people. Looking forward to returning the the island someday..

emorey of Greenville, MI said... We think Nantucket is wonderful! We visited a year ago and plan to return this fall. We want to try the Chanticleer Restaurant and seek out the little antique shop not far from town that is housed in a barn/garage; they had the coolest weathervane that was two Canada geese in flight. It was the neatest thing, and I'd like to get it for my husband for Christmas. Have a framed poster of the oldest house in our guest room. Thanks for letting us share this--we'll be back!

Kevin Rosseel of Alexandria, VA said... Had a great week just before Christmas -- what an island!

Dr. Ed Anker of Riverhead, N.Y said... I don't know if this is the place, but I need some information about marinas in Nantucket - Will be spending a week this summer on a direct run from Eastern Lomg Island and hope you have some info about the best amrina to dock - We are also going to need info about a hotel for people who will be joining us on the trip - We will need car rental and restaurant contacts as well - Many thanks in advance -- Cheers!
