• On Our Cover: In 1926, Tilghman Island waterman Bob Bradshaw took Alice Butler by boat to a speck of land off Black Walnut Point. With waves pounding, the two climbed a flight of stairs to the upper deck of Sharp's Island Lighthouse. There, with the expansive Bay as witness, Bob proposed to Alice. Thus began her love affair with the Chesapeake Bay and a commitment to marriage that lasted 60 years. Painting by Annapolis artist E. Lynne Kibler reproduced courtesy of Alice Bradshaw.
