A buy-a-brick campaign has been started to help defray the cost of creating the John L. Behan Memorial Park on the corner of Flamingo Avenue and West Lake Drive in Montauk.
Bricks cost $125 to $175 and can be personalized with names or messages. Marilyn Behan has details at [email protected] or 631-848-2368.
It is hoped that the park will be completed by Veterans Day, which was also Mr. Behan's birthday.

The Rev. Thomas James of the East Hampton’s first church “came to the New World in search of religious freedom but found that freedom was not enough.” So says an announcement for a lecture next Thursday provokingly titled “The Convict Pastor: Thomas James and the Puritan Roots of Christian Nationalism.”
“Grounded Conversation: What Remains,” set for Sunday afternoon from 2 to 4:30 at LongHouse Reserve, will focus on green burials, human composting, eco-cremations, and how to sustainably prepare for death.
