ThereÅfs a touch of fall in the air, visitors are packing up, and school is starting. All reminders that another summer has rushed past. It always seems too soon.
The news that Will HolthamÅfs Home Port is for sale is unwelcome indeed. The Home Port is a restaurant, yes, but more than that, itÅfs a tradition. There are senior citizens in town today who in their youth were on the wait staff even before Will took over, and who remember it fondly. WeÅfve all racked up a lot of memories in fact. We lined up for the back door takeout as much for the fun of it as for the convenience. Will turned seniors into chefs with his series of cooking classes, using his own recipes for several oyster dishes, hors dÅfoeuvres, and other exotic dishes. He did the preparation and donated the premises for the hospitalÅfs up-Island womenÅfs auxiliaryÅfs fundraiser. One summer Saturday afternoon, he lent his terraces for an art show, complete with a trio rapping out jazz.
We wish you well, Will, but donÅft you want to reconsider?
