Episode Synopsis

Today, we sit down with Mary Jane Dinizio, a lifelong Greenporter whose memories stretch back to a time when the village was a very different place. Born and raised here in the 1930s and ’40s, Mary Jane grew up surrounded by a close-knit community where family, faith, and hard work shaped daily life.In our conversation, she reflects on her family’s deep roots in the area, what children did for fun in those days, and her experience working at the Greenport Basin and Construction Company during World War II, a time when the village’s waterfront buzzed with activity. We also talk about how Greenport has changed through the decades, what’s been lost, and what still endures.It’s a conversation filled with memory, humor, and heart, a portrait of a life intertwined with the story of Greenport itself.
