Dear Yankee | September/October 2026
Letters we received in response to the September/October 2026 issue.
Just received my magazine, with your article on Bakers Island (originally published as “Totally Lit“). I watched the HGTV show with the renovation. When they opened the wall the names Dave, Kathy, Butch and Darcy were there. Kathy is my friend’s sister. She is alive and well and 83 years old. Unfortunately Dave has passed. What a great follow up it would make, to interview [Kathy] about living there with Dave manning the lighthouse. Butch and Darcy are their children.
