Around the Island

Osprey's Nest: Week of December 8, 2011

Recently heard from…

Justin Grimbol, Pastor Bill’s son, who has just had a book published by Eraserhead Press as part of its New Bizarro Author Series. Justin says his book, “The Crud Masters,” takes place on Shelter Island (Is that a ferry on his book’s cover design?). Justin writes, “I thought this might be of interest to residents of Shelter Island, many of whom are family to me, and all of whom I miss dearly.”  Welcome home, Justin — if only in the pages of the Reporter!

Hats off to…

Kelsey Heinze, Shelter Island School Class of 2009, who has been named to the Dean’s List at the Savannah College of Art and Design for the fall quarter. To qualify for this recognition, students have to earn a grade point average of 3.5 or above.
