To the Editor:

Many thanks to all the Derby fisherman who, each week of the Derby, donated

their fish, and to the Derby volunteers, including those who so carefully

fillet the donated fish. Island seniors and especially Edgartown seniors have

enjoyed these free fish distributed weekly at our senior centers. On Wednesday

mornings, at the Anchors in Edgartown, I have helped distribute the fish, and

watched as many seniors took a bluefish, hoped for a piece of bass, or

selected their first-ever sample of bonito. It’s been a wonderful Derby season

for all. My special thanks to all of you.
