Need for Road Repair
   Wainscott
   January 31, 2013
Dear David:
   I want to compliment Joanne Pilgrim on her excellent article on Highway Superintendent Lynch (“And Miles to Go Before He Sleeps”) and the need for road repair on the front page of last week’s Star. It properly captures the imagination and hard work that Steve has devoted to his job since taking office, as well as the need to address the deterioration of the town’s roads over the past several years.

Put Students First

Dear David,
   When that wise group of people sat down and devised the mighty Constitution, lo these many years ago, they knew that this nation could only flourish if it had an educated populace. Thus public education was conceived, and over the years it has been extended to all regardless of race, creed, or national origin.

Message in a Bottle
   East Hampton
   December 17, 2012
To the Editor,
   Like all of us, I went through a series of emotions after the shooting that took place at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
   First there was shock as the number of dead rose. Then, when it was reported that most of the victims were children, there was a sense of horror, an uncontrollable welling up with emotion, trying to catch a breath, and then tears.
