DUXBURY I discovered Duxbury Beach in the summer of 1966 when I moved to Boston and one of my roommates took a group there for the weekend at her late grandmother s house near the ocean.
We walked across Powder Point Bridge and I was captivated by the expansive, incredibly beautiful and dramatic vista of oncoming waves, clouds moving across the horizon, shore birds soaring and calling.
The six-mile barrier beach became one of my go-to places when I wanted to get away.
In 2009, I received a surprise in the mail: The Duxbury Beach Book, sent by one of the co-editors, Margaret Maggie Kearney. She mentioned an article I had written about the beach and offered to give me the grand tour, including a trip up into the Gurnet Lighthouse.

Coming next week to Plimoth Cinema is “Limbo,” a BAFTA (the British Oscars) nominee for best British picture and best debut. Writer-director Ben Sharrock deftly crafts a humorous and poignant story of what happens to immigrants who’ve fled their war-torn homeland in search of a better life in a new land.
“Limbo” centers on Omar, a promising young Syrian musician (Amir El-Masry) stuck on a remote, wind-whipped Scottish island awaiting the results of his asylum claim. Omar is tethered to his oud – a lute-like stringed instrument – but never plays it because it doesn’t sound the same as it did at home.
