Close Calls at Sea

To the Editor,

    As one dragger captain said, “We all have had our close calls at sea.”

    The morning Billy and I left the dock on Billy the Kid to join the search for John from the Anna Mary is a day none of us will ever forget. Every boat has its own story to tell. When you are looking for someone in the ocean it’s like looking for a needle in a haystack. The debris out there — balloons, garbage — every little thing catches your eye.

Ned’s Still With Us

Dear Editor:

    I was delighted to see the town’s nature preserve committee is trying to preserve the remains and honor of “Ned, Faithful negro manservant of Capt. Jeremiah Osborn.”

    Back in 2009, the nature preserve committee was tasked with finding and documenting every known cemetery and gravesite in East Hampton Town.

Excitement of Art

    Springs

Dear Editor,

    We are proud to be members of the staff of the little school that could, Springs School. We recently were involved in the biggest fund-raiser the school or probably any school in this neighborhood has ever witnessed, the Mystery Art Show. It not only raised money for the Visiting Artist program, but it also energized an entire community around the excitement of art and its potential to inspire.
