Please give to the Elly Maggiora Fund. Read at this link about the goals of the fund.
3/11 Last year Susan Chadburn completed the video on Fair Harbor's history "Partition Lot 6 - Fair Harbor" and used the photo in the video. Her mother, Mae Chadburn, lived in Fair Harbor since 1923. She said this view shows Broadway in 1931. All but 8 houses were destroyed in the hurricane of 38, that's why these houses may look different from the ones that are there now. The Chadburns' house was the big one on the right. Thanks Susan for the insight.
