Here’s what’s happening on Martha’s Vineyard today.

Let’s say Happy Birthday to Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky today. We can thank the Russian composer for “Swan Lake” and “The Nutcracker.” It’s also National
Paste Up Day, and we honor graphic designers everywhere for that one — especially Nicole Jackson, Dave Plath, and Kristófer Rabasca! If your friend sent you this, sign up for yourself here.

'My Dead Dad'
Christopher Gray, an architecture historian and Vineyard Haven summer resident, passed away unexpectedly at the age of 66 in 2017. But last summer, he and his daughter, Olivia Gray Konrath, took the ferry over, kayaked on
Lake Tashmoo, and even took a biplane tour of the Island. This is thanks to Mr. Gray's extraordinary final wish, documented in the film "My Dead Dad." The film, to be screened on the Vineyard this summer, shows Gray Konrath's road trip with her father's skeleton. Read more and see more here.

Props to the
HSV
The High School View — what our newsroom calls the HSV for short — got some much-deserved recognition
from a New England high school journalism conference, if we can say that. The paper received two top awards, and a couple students also received some individual recognition. Read that story here.

Quote of the Day
“You look at what [the class] could mean for building bridges between the community members, and also opportunities for people who want to look at staying on the Vineyard and raising a family.”
— School committee member Amy Houghton on exploring a new Brazilian-Portuguese class at the Tisbury SchoolHot Topic Comment“Supreme Court justices accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of benefits and didn’t think it was worth mentioning. And a DA is penalized for trying to help people.”
— Mary Hansen comments on the local district attorney fined by the state ethics commissionHot Topic Letter“When you attract a crowd, it means people are invested in participating in the issues that require debate. Why not celebrate that with a meeting approach to meet the moment?”
— Anne Cook writes to us about making town meeting more efficient
