RICHARD F. WHITE JR., MAN OF MONTAUK
Richard F. White Jr.'s Montauk roots date back to 1928, when his grandfather opened White's Drug Store. The family has been civic activists ever since, and Dick White is no exception: in addition to both elected and appointed posts in East Hampton Town government, there is hardly a volunteer job he hasn't held.

THE TASTE OF HISTORY
The East Hampton Ladies Village Improvement Society named its seventh cookbook, published in 1939, "Home, Sweet Home." East Hampton, of course, was the boyhood home of the song's composer, John Howard Payne, whose family house overlooks the village green where for decades the L.V.I.S. held its annual fair.

THE SEA AROUND US
"Pirates, Whales, Wrecks, and Salvage" sounds like the title of a swashbuckling adventure novel, but in fact it is the topic of the next lecture in the 350th Anniversary series. Noel Gish's talk, subtitled "East Hampton's Maritime History," will take place at Guild Hall on Friday, March 27.
