Dennis, Massachusetts, Sep 2019. Ray Sears has just released his compilation of Cape Cod Ruminations titled Let Go To Listen.

Ray as Editor of the Society publications since 2001 has been an untiring influence on the production of our publications. This book is an illumination of Cape Cod’s past not only during his own lifetime but also indirectly the past before his time through the stories heard and events recorded in his family history.”
