ALEX CHADWICK, host: Introducing yourself to your Thanksgiving turkey is one thing. More commonly, for years, Americans have used Thanksgiving as a chance to reintroduce themselves to their neighbors. And in that spirit, we have an offering from Sophie Bloch.
Ms. SOPHIE BLOCH (Listener): I was upstairs, I wasn't even dressed, and I heard somebody say, `We're in the kitchen. We're in the kitchen.' So I came down, and there were these two firemen with a huge basket and everything one could possibly need for a Thanksgiving dinner. And I said, `Well, what is that?' Well, they said, `Every year we give it to somebody, and this year it's you.' It's incredible, all the vegetables and even the turkey. So here I have this beautiful dinner just all given to me. Oh, there's so many generous people in the world, on the Vineyard anyway. CHADWICK: Thanksgiving memories from Sophie Bloch on West Tisbury on Martha's Vineyard. That piece was recorded by Linsey Lee and produced by Helen Woodward for WCAI and WNAN in Massachusetts. (Soundbite of music) CHADWICK: This is DAY TO DAY. I'm Alex Chadwick.
