David Lewis was born and raised on Block Island and his stories are of the stuff that draw most people to our podcast. Tales from the island's simpler days abound. From David's days as a schoolboy at the Block Island School to his college days at Harvard and beyond, one yarn spills into the next seamlessly.

Although David was instrumental in starting the Land Trust, we mostly discuss the people that shaped David's life here.  And it's quite obvious that Mr. Lewis' life was filled with family and friends to whom he owes a great deal.

So press play and learn about how a young entrepreneur who cornered the Codfish Tongue market at an early age went on to become one of the island's most venerable citizens.
