Two real highlights of the day were the fantastic book by Pierce Rafferry and John Wilton and our visit to the museum, trans- portation provided by the Rogan brothers. The band from Essex in their great uniforms was a real treat, as well. All three of us enjoyed immensely the ferry trips, my sister and I remembering our hundreds of trips (Q shop in New London when we were teenagers. On the return trip at 4 p.m., I felt so fortunate to be able to chat with Fred Saner, amazed that he was there!

Richard Grebe(bottom photo) led a team that pulled this in- jured jet from rocks at the end of Elizabeth Field runway after FAA officials investigated the June 19 mishap.The right wing and front landing gear of the jet were dam- aged in the incident. ElizaLelh Field Mishap Jol.o Cla't'io Pl.olos . A privare jer landed at Elizabeth Field June 19 and suffered a hydraulic brake failure. No one was injured as the pilot guided the craft on a zig-zag course to slow down, finally coming to rest on the rocks at the east end of the runway. Beth Andrews, her son Mark, 16, and the plane's owner were traveling in the jet from New Jersey to Fishers Island when the mishap occurred. "Irwas a clear night, and the pilot activated the runway lights from the airplane," Ms. Andrews said. "When we landed and the brake system failed, it felt like being in a car and hitting ice. We did not even feel the pressure of our scat belts when we stopped. It was a non-event." According to Ms. Andrews, the pilot has been landing jets on Fishers Island for the past I 0 years. He had brought her husband Mark Andrews and daughter Elizabeth, 17, to the Island earlier in the day. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) officials investigated the site and termed the event an "incident," not an "accident." "The real story here is the speed with which the Fishers Island Fire Department arrived," Ms. Andrews said. "They were on the scene by the time we got out of the plane. "The emergency personnel were wonderful. They took shifts all night guarding the plane to make sure nothing was tampered with before FAA officials arrived the next day." .J Fi,ha,\ 1,,1(/1/(1 (;(/:t"'l' THANk YOU 1- The Fort H.G.

WRIGHT It was a tall order, but Fishers Is- land managed to turn back the hands of time this summer with the hugely successful Fort H.G. Wright centennial celebration. "We could not have done this with- out the enthusiastic support of the entire Fishers Island community," said centen- nial committee co-chairs, Peter Burr, George Esser and Pat Kibbe. There were several components to the event, which officially spanned the summer from July 3 to Aug. 22. The first evening began with the openingreceptionofH.L. Ferguson Mu- seum, which had hired a professional small museum exhibit designer to ar- range its Ft. Wright exhibit. Pierce Rafferty and John Wilton were on hand to sign their new book, Guardian of the Sound, a pictorial history of Ft. Wright. Saturday morning July 4 found Is- 1 00 YEARS land fon historian Peter Williamson pleas- antlyoverwhelmed by the crowds that turned out for his lecture tours of the Clinton Mor- tar Batteries and the Marcy, Butterfield and Barlow Artillery Batteries. The same tours were repeated July 5 and Aug. 22. Centennial committee members were ini- tially uncertain how to frame Saturday evening's party on the Parade Grounds, but opted to make it an old-fashioned family affair. Island families responded en masse by creating an idyllic evening of picnic suppers on colorful blankets while listening to a live swing band and jazz vocalist. At the far end of the Parade Grounds, children played a pick-up game of soccer. Sundaywas sunny and hot and crowded with people who lined Officer's Row (Whis- tler Ave.) ro watch the annual bicycle pa- rade and listen to the Essex Fife and Drum Corps. F.I. Fire Dept. volunteers grilled and served their popular "July 4th" lunch on the Parade Gounds, rather than at their usual spot on the Village Green. Former Islanders with strong memo- ries of the Ft. Wright era came to the centennial, and a number of them had their histories videotaped at the Fishers Island School. Many in atrendance sought the shade of the large yellow and white striped tent that housed a number of dif- ferent related exhibits. The centennial offcially ended with the August battery tours and a lively Aug. 2 I performance by the U.S. Coasr Guard Dixie Band at the Island theater. Fife &.
