  says Doug Alves, Director of the Calvert Marine Museum. "Before that time, there was hardly anyone living on the island, there was one house and peach orchards."
  
  Another interesting fact about Solomon's Island: "Solomons became known as the bugeye capital of the world," says Alves.
  
  We had to ask. What is a bugeye? According to Alves, they are "log constructed vessels and we have one behind us the Willliam B. Tenison built in 1899 which you can take for an hour trip here down the river and up under the bridge."

  But director Doug Alves - who spends as much time there as we do at our computers - reopened our eyes.
  
  "I think the setting sets us apart.It's outdoors.You've got the lighthouse in the background and the Bay and the Patuxent River.Many times the concert ends and there's the full moon over the lighthouse or the museum," Alves explained to general manager J. Alex Knoll, who returned to his reporting roots for this issue.

  Tritt's sold-out August 31 performance raised $30,000 toward the expansion of the Small Craft Restoration Center, according to Museum Director Doug Alves.

  But we keep our focus tight, because we are strong in our mission: to tell the story of the water region here," Calvert Marine Museum Director Doug Alves speaks intently as we sit in his spacious office in the Administration Building that was once Solomons High School.
  
  "One of our crown jewels is the hour cruise around the Inner Harbor on the Wm.B.Tennison.Then, you can see the importance of the life style, that it was a water borne community," Doug Alves continues."Because we are so automobile oriented, we have lost sight of how it was to exist by water transport.The road system was so poor here, that transportation was faster by water."
  
  Doug Alves gestures broadly as we begin our "fun tour" of this impressive complex on Solomons Island that spans nine acres and includes the Administration Building with a 6000 volume library and photo-documented archives, and an enormous Exhibition Building with an auditorium and a hands-on "Discovery Room."
  ...
  "We don't want the stogy museum feeling here," Doug Alves assures me with a chuckle, and as I meet more staff, I am convinced he is right.
  ...
  Appreciating the horizon framed by that entity that kept body and soul alive, we realize the significance of Doug Alves' reflection: "As we have grown, we have not forgotten our roots."
