Amazing Tribute East Hampton April 23, 2012 Dear David, I am writing on behalf of my family to express our gratitude for the amazing tribute given to my father-in-law, Tony Cangiolosi, at his wake and funeral. The support of family and friends who showed up at the wake was tremendous. Tears welled in our eyes as we watched the virtually endless stream of firefighters march in pairs and salute Tony at his wake.

There to Help Montauk April 17, 2012 To the Editor, It’s 2 a.m. and you’re having difficulty breathing. Your chest feels like someone is sitting on it. Or perhaps your child has fallen from a bike and has a head wound. Maybe an accident has happened and you’re bleeding and it won’t stop. In all these cases, your first reaction is to dial 911 and call for an ambulance, and call you do. Within minutes, no matter the time of day, any day of the year, the ambulance and crew arrive to render care.

Gone Now Amagansett April 11, 2012 To the Editor, And to think I never believed the paradise of Cartwright Shoal would ever be taken away. Mrs. Rattray (“Connections,” April 5) and I have shared some glorious memories . . . and never even knew it! But she brought it all back to me with floods of remembered joys.

Fine Example East Hampton April 7, 2012 Dear Editor, This is a note of congratulations to our elected officials in the Town of East Hampton, the County of Suffolk, and the State of New York. Saturday I attended the grand opening of the Amsterdam Beach Loop (two miles) in the Amsterdam Beach State Park in Montauk. This 200-acre preserve provides a wonderful experience in nature with woodland, wetlands, and moorland, ending in a spectacular view of the bluffs and the beach.

Those Who Served East Hampton March 25, 2012 To the Editor, It is time to start thinking about Memorial Day and what it truly means. At the end of February, in The Star you read about the Montauk artists and veterans associations in dispute about Memorial Day weekend. Someone stated that they represented 100 veterans; whether true or not I do not know.

All in Green Amagansett March 17, 2012 Dear David, We were entertained at the Senior Citizens Center on Friday, with a St. Patrick’s Day party, by Michelle and her staff. It was a wonderful party, with a beautiful room decorated all in green. Very pretty! Children from the Springs School entertained us with their songs relating to St. Patrick, St. Paddy’s Day, and leprechauns. They made and presented to us a decorated flower vase with a green carnation in it.

Affordable Project East Hampton February 27, 2012 Dear David: Last week witnessed the formal groundbreaking of the St. Michael’s senior citizens affordable housing project. The leader of this extremely worthwhile undertaking is Michael DeSario, who has devoted countless hours over the last 10 years to the creation of needed, reasonably priced apartments for longtime East Hampton residents.

To Be Honored Springs February 17, 2012 David: This past Wednesday, Feb. 15, a large group from East Hampton attended the reception given for Lee Hayes. The reception was given by the Riverhead Historical Society. The date and time of this event were well published in advance. As most know, Lee is a Tuskegee airman — bombardier and pilot. He served at a time when racism was prevalent. I would estimate the crowd attending numbered close to 200.

Nothing to Fear Springs February 10, 2012 Dear Editor, I am the former managing editor of the New York Public Library, a book author, and an avid Kindle user of many years — so I read with interest Helen Rattray’s “Connections” column (Feb. 9) on her disenchantment with her Kindle and its possible threat to the traditional book. I continue to be surprised by the resistant view many serious readers take of the Kindle, even as it grows in popularity.
