love this! esp the stats about chicken alley and the katama airfield. I remember one Obama president summer where Black Hawks from Otis (?) had parked by the restaurant, I assume as part of security protocol. Pilots gave tours of their copters to kids.

Nicely done! I’ve been here year round for 25 years and only knew about 6.

(You should investigate Elijah Smith who passed away several years back. His family tree goes back to the Mayflower. His modern ties connected him to Offshore Ale, which is also a fun research sub-topic.)
