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.

I saw my first ‘shooting star’ on Tilghman; I was smashed behind the seats of a little sports car and just happened to look up.

Before I met the NC Outer Banks, that area was my favorite in the world.
