A buy-a-brick campaign has been started to help defray the cost of creating the John L. Behan Memorial Park on the corner of Flamingo Avenue and West Lake Drive in Montauk.
Bricks cost $125 to $175 and can be personalized with names or messages. Marilyn Behan has details at [email protected] or 631-848-2368.
It is hoped that the park will be completed by Veterans Day, which was also Mr. Behan's birthday.
