Thank You All Springs November 10, 2013 Dear David, It was a long campaign but, for me, thankfully, very worthwhile.

An Empty Seat Wainscott March 10, 2014 To the Editor, It’s funny how grown men get up in the wee hours of the morning, rain or shine, or, in the case of this winter, snow, to meet for coffee. One such group met at the Golden Pear in East Hampton. I’m sad to say there is an empty seat now. On Feb.
