I used to spend time around Tilghman Island;

It all seems very different now, rich folks moving in, trendy businesses taking the place of more ‘mom and pop’ establishments. When I had friends there, the Island still had some working skipjacks; I don’t know if it does now.

I guess everything changes.

It’s changed a great deal, my family has been in Easton since 1909, and still run a business founded in 1929. It’s changed a lot, but it was truly “The Land of Pleasant Living” for a long time. Maybe the bridge shouldn’t have been built.

Mom is lucky enough to live in a farmhouse on 300 acres so she doesn’t have to deal with retired GS-14’s thinking they own the world.

I do remember legendary Tilghman Island character Captain Buddy Harrison who was busted back in the day for wet t-shirt contests and would get his cousin to raise the drawbridge if you tried to stiff him on your bar bill.
