More Promises

"It's a place where fishermen fish for keeps and quahoggers dig like they're searching for gold. Islanders wave and greet one another. Always. I'm amazed at how mainlanders can be the only two people in a small waiting room and never say hello or make eye contact. How sad. But not on the island. When you arrive there, you are said to be on island time, meaning there is none. It's where I learned to write. It's where I learned to love. It's where I learned to live, and it's where I learned to die."Bob DePalo retired in 2023 as president of Eagle Motors, Inc., Eagle Motors Sunoco, and North Country store. He currently serves as chairman of the Board of Canvassers in the town of Foster, Rhode Island. His last book, A Promise, is a romance/ mystery novella. His first book, Kantfly: A Paraplegic's Story, published in 2021, is his most valued accomplishment and has found its way into the hands of paraplegics and quadriplegics, alike.
