Since you have edited this article, you might care to post a comment in support of retaining it 161:(her great-grandfather and his family was from there, and she visited a few times), and yet many local Vineyard books, magazine, and newspaper articles celebrate Nordica as an islander and a "local girl gone good" and clearly embraced her as a (wanna-be) local. 1003:
