Sorry to hear about Fred's passing. He stayed with us for many years in our Nantucket B and B when he'd come to the Island for two weeks to perform the art of sharpening knives. We had many, many long conversations...an interesting fellow! RIP, Fred. Sheila and Fred Heap, formerly of Centre Street Inn , Nantucket.
