Between the years 2011 and 2018, members of the East Hampton Town Board could be pretty confident that Jeanne Frankl was somewhere in the audience during their public meetings. Chances were that she would have something to say, too, on whatever they were discussing — open space, beach access, affordable housing, you name it — and would enlarge on her comments the week after, in a letter to the editor of this newspaper. Ms. Frankl died at home on Town Lane on June 9, six days after her 92nd birthday, having been in failing health for two years.
