So, where is home?

Posted by Fred Steiner on July 17, 2010 - 10:43am

In a couple of weeks I will be back home.

Home in Bluffton.

But where have I really been for the past month and a half? Hasn't this house on Cape Cod been home, too? How do I explain a feeling of "place" that means more than one place?' I have felt very much "at home" here at Woods Hole. The surroundings and the people are different from those I left behind in Bluffton the first of June, but it's been home nevertheless. Some things are different, but I find many things to feel the same.

The "other" Woods Hole

Posted by Fred Steiner on July 6, 2010 - 6:08pm

By Joanne Niswander

A couple of weeks ago I wrote about the summer-vacationing side of Woods Hole, the tiny Cape Cod town I've been enjoying since the first of June. And it really is an ideal vacation spot, with gorgeous weather this year being a big plus. But now it's time to tell you about the unique place that Woods Hole presents to the scientific community.

Joanne Niswander: What I did on my summer vacation

Posted by Fred Steiner on June 22, 2010 - 5:04pm

My Joanne Niswander

The sun is warm, the breeze is cool, the harbor is calm, and all's well at Woods Hole, Massachusetts. I've been here for nearly three weeks now, so maybe I have enough of a feeling about the place to pass some of my observations on to you.

History from five perspectives

Posted by Fred Steiner on June 11, 2010 - 7:22pm

It's funny how family stories get told and retold in so many different versions that no one really remembers the truth. As daughter number 1 says, these variations may be "interpreted as you will". She should know -- she's a direct descendant of two families who are masters at "remembering" events in colorful variations. For some reason, though, she thought only the Steiner relatives did this until my four brothers came through with their own memories of August 11, 1956.
