Tuesday's Name This Islander was an easy guess for Devin Healy, who was surprised to see his own face in The Minute. "I almost cried laughing because, well, it is me,” he wrote to us from Florida. “That is absolutely hilarious and my chin hair embarrassing."

It is what is lacking nationally now, and the Vineyard still has it and that speaks volumes,” he wrote. |
