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.
