Frank Rapoza Heart of Art

A conversation with Frank Rapoza - The Martha's Vineyard Times

'I moved to Martha’s Vineyard around 1975, buying a house in West Tisbury in partnership with a friend. My friend put in the money, and I built the house and lived in it, except in the summer when I rented it out and went to Cuttyhunk. During the winter, I did some work for Gannon and Benjamin, working on some of their big schooners. I traveled around the country doing caulking jobs, and worked as a finish carpenter for Gary Maynard at Holmes Hole Builders. I also operated a nautical antique shop in Vineyard Haven.'
