A Cape Cod Journal
by Erma J. Fisk
Her picture reminds me of Willie Kerkovan, a friend of my in-laws who lived in Brewster, MA. Her writing reminds me of Jane Bartels, my mother-in-law, who lived in Orleans, MA, same place as Erma J Fisk. I spent 30 plus summers and occasional fall and winter holidays on the Cape in Orleans. And Fred and I want to move there in the next few years, our next stop along the line, a line that we draw as it happens.
It should therefore not be a surprise that Erma J Fisk's A Cape Cod Journal touched me to the quick. She died 25 years ago yet I felt she was as alive as ever while reading her Journal. She opens her heart to share the highs and the lows, and does not mince her words.
And how did A Cape Cod Journal come to be in my book pile? First, Jane and Bob moved from their sprawling home in Orleans to an independent living community in Boston. This summer, years after Jane died, Bob moved from the independent side of his building to the assisted living side, which meant paring down belongings yet once again. When it was Fred's stint to work on packing up he found this book, inscribed to Jane & Bob back in August, 2002, thanking my in-laws for their "warm welcome and your helping hands & hearts." That would have been so typical of my mother-in-law, and likewise of Erma J Fisk.
