The Benson Papers Montauk April 3, 2015 Dear Mr. Rattray: Thank you for the article about the Benson papers in the March 19 issue. While consolidating and researching my father’s papers (Richard T. Gilmartin), I found that they were called the “Montauk Matter” since the 1930s, when my father was East Hampton town clerk. I have a copy of the original receipt for those papers, signed by Arthur Benson, plus a typewritten (easier to read) copy done by my father.

When the Store Closed Springs March 24, 2015 To the Editor, As the new owner of a longtime business in Springs, I am writing this letter not only to express my gratitude and appreciation to all those who have been a part of the process, but to let other members of the community know what a special place this is. I recently purchased Barnes Country Market. As a 25-year resident of Springs, I had known many of the customers before I bought the store.

R.I.P. David Silver East Hampton March 10, 2015 To the Editor, I never really knew David Silver, but when we met we always exchanged friendly greetings. I remember seeing him soon after the Bernard Madoff ordeal, when he told me how he had been “Madoffed” and had lost everything. In spite of that tremendous loss and betrayal, he was upbeat. He told me he had moved with his family from the city to East Hampton, and that his children were at the Ross School.

Up Out of the Ice East Hampton February 23, 2015 To the Editor: Thanks to Steve Lynch and Kevin Ahearn and the team of plowers that worked for the Highway Department this winter. The amazing thing was, my mailbox survived the three-foot storm, only to disappear in the three-inch blanket last week. It was tough telling the post office to hold the mail, deliver the mail, wait, no mailbox, then suddenly, a new mailbox, sprung up out of the ice. Thank you again. BRUCE an

The Wainscott School Wainscott February 18, 2015 To the Editor: As a member of the Windmill Village Affordable Housing group, it seems important to respond to the most recent letter put out by the Wainscott School Board. Windmill has proposed to build a 48-unit project for people who live and work in our community. The school board has objected to the project because it says that there will be a huge influx of children that will radically alter the Wainscott School.
