Uncle Jack was a bit of an "institution" in East Sandwich - small town boy, long time member of the East Sandwich Volunteer Fire Department, gifted finish carpenter, and beach runner in his later 1930s vintage panel truck popularly known as "The Red Onion."

My grandpa Benjamin Bailey Sisson was selling model Ts in Wareham a few years earlier at Sisson's garage. He grew up in West Harwich. On Sisson road. While the Cape is a zoo in the Summer, sometimes I look at real estate listings, just because I have always had a heart for the cape. Was it Patty Page that sang 'Old Cape Cod" ?
