At Its Best Amagansett May 6, 2019Dear David,It was East Hampton at its best on Saturday night at the Neighborhood House where the community came together to celebrate Cinquo de Mayo. This was the second annual fest, hosted and organized by the East Hampton Democratic Committee for the benefit of Project Most.And what a celebration it was: A full house, toddlers to seniors, from every neighborhood in town. Games for the children, including an Easter egg hunt (which had been rained out) and prizes galore.

From Members East Hampton April 29, 2019To the Editor:I went to the Jewish Center of the Hamptons for a wonderful Passover Seder! On this holiday there is great focus on the children. Rabbi Joshua Franklin and Cantor Debra Stein did a most excellent job! I don’t recall ever being so entertained at a religious ceremony.Debra’s outfits were dazzling, while the rabbi (also adorned in garments of splendor) made the evening festive.

Should Not Rush Spring April 15, 2019Dear David,Thank you for your editorial on why the East Hampton Town Trustees should not rush the adoption of the currently proposed 35-year leases. It is true that the current lease terms need revision. And, there are residents who have lived at Lazy Point for many years who need to be protected with low-priced leases for as long as they wish to stay.

Hauntings| Westford, Mass. March 22, 2019Dear Mr. Rattray:I read with great interest the March 21 article about hauntings at, among others, the East Hampton Library. When my mother worked there in the 1960s, she was greeted one night with a most awful sight that made her naturally curly hair stand on end. She never tired of talking about it.It was a teenager voluntarily reading “Silas Marner.”DAVID McDONOUGHDr.

The Last Duck Springs February 2, 2019Dear Mr. Rattray, The early morning reports from the Accabonac have quieted so I believe this year’s duck hunting is over. Saturdays and occasionally more often, I’d be awakened by the noise. I must admit I kind of enjoy the sound, usually beginning at dawn with the crack of six shots.It was always six shots so I’m guessing it’s the same two guys, emptying their guns on something.
