Ernie Clark
East Hampton

To the Editor,
Ernie Clark passed away last week at 94. Although he moved to Florida quite a few years ago, he touched many lives in East Hampton, particularly mine.
He bought my father’s real estate and insurance company, E.T. Dayton on Main Street, after my father’s death in 1964 when I was 9. I babysat for his only child, Bruce, who died at 18.
East Hampton High School’s boys volleyball team has been sailing along in divisional play, and could well find itself as the county small schools tournament’s top seed in November provided it continues firing on all cylinders.
After having begun the fall season at 0-3, East Hampton High’s girls tennis team, whose 14-player roster is evenly divided between students from Sag Harbor and East Hampton, has been coming on of late.
All 11 of East Hampton High School’s teams will be on display here this week — beginning today with boys and girls cross-country, girls swimming, and boys volleyball — as it’s homecoming, for which Bonac’s 1965-66 boys basketball team will be inducted into the school’s Hall of Fame Saturday.
