Sense of Place

I was surprised and delighted to find your feature on Prudence Island (Jan./Feb., p.98). Although I no longer reside on Prudence, it has lived and breathed inside me all my life, and it’s woven into the fabric of the person I became. I still return for visits with a childhood friend from long ago summers. Prudence Island is a place unto itself and Ron Cowie’s photos have beautifully captured its essence.

Richard Cripps What is this snow you speak of? This is why I live in Gilroy, California. Except for dustings on the surrounding foothills, I have not seen a speck of snow on the valley floor but twice in 30 years. However, the first 2 1/2 decades of my life were spent in Framingham, including the Blizzard of ‘78. I am the type that was out at midnight in 40 mph winds, staying ahead of the crap only to see the town snowplow put 6 feet of ^&^%%$# at the end of the driveway before I had a chance to get the car out.
