Safe for All Sag Harbor May 27, 2012 Dear David: Your column, “Bad Mileage,” of May 17, seems to have anticipated something in today’s New York Times: “This Is How We Ride.” How we ride is of some concern to me as I am both a cyclist and a motorist and believe it is of utmost importance that our roads be safe for all.

A Special Day East Hampton May 21, 2012 To the Editor, Memorial Day is a special day on which we honor those who died in service to our nation. We see Petty Officer Michael Monsoor, Lt. Michael Murphy, Lance Corporal Jordon Haerter, or Lt. Joe Theinert, all of whom sacrificed their lives in the ongoing hostilities in the Middle East. We also see the faces of military nurses, who through many wars and conflicts provided care amid chaos.

Saved the Dock East Hampton May 14, 2012 Dear David, Our heartfelt thanks to the wonderful, amazing members of the Montauk Fire Department. They saved the dock area from what could have been an unimaginable disaster. The Montauk fish dock caught fire at 3 Friday morning. It was discovered by a young fisherman, Billy Carmen, and Kelly Lester, who were getting ready to set sail. Despite the devastation of the total destruction of the building, no one was injured in any way.

Amazing Tribute East Hampton April 23, 2012 Dear David, I am writing on behalf of my family to express our gratitude for the amazing tribute given to my father-in-law, Tony Cangiolosi, at his wake and funeral. The support of family and friends who showed up at the wake was tremendous. Tears welled in our eyes as we watched the virtually endless stream of firefighters march in pairs and salute Tony at his wake.

There to Help Montauk April 17, 2012 To the Editor, It’s 2 a.m. and you’re having difficulty breathing. Your chest feels like someone is sitting on it. Or perhaps your child has fallen from a bike and has a head wound. Maybe an accident has happened and you’re bleeding and it won’t stop. In all these cases, your first reaction is to dial 911 and call for an ambulance, and call you do. Within minutes, no matter the time of day, any day of the year, the ambulance and crew arrive to render care.

Gone Now Amagansett April 11, 2012 To the Editor, And to think I never believed the paradise of Cartwright Shoal would ever be taken away. Mrs. Rattray (“Connections,” April 5) and I have shared some glorious memories . . . and never even knew it! But she brought it all back to me with floods of remembered joys.

Fine Example East Hampton April 7, 2012 Dear Editor, This is a note of congratulations to our elected officials in the Town of East Hampton, the County of Suffolk, and the State of New York. Saturday I attended the grand opening of the Amsterdam Beach Loop (two miles) in the Amsterdam Beach State Park in Montauk. This 200-acre preserve provides a wonderful experience in nature with woodland, wetlands, and moorland, ending in a spectacular view of the bluffs and the beach.

Those Who Served East Hampton March 25, 2012 To the Editor, It is time to start thinking about Memorial Day and what it truly means. At the end of February, in The Star you read about the Montauk artists and veterans associations in dispute about Memorial Day weekend. Someone stated that they represented 100 veterans; whether true or not I do not know.

All in Green Amagansett March 17, 2012 Dear David, We were entertained at the Senior Citizens Center on Friday, with a St. Patrick’s Day party, by Michelle and her staff. It was a wonderful party, with a beautiful room decorated all in green. Very pretty! Children from the Springs School entertained us with their songs relating to St. Patrick, St. Paddy’s Day, and leprechauns. They made and presented to us a decorated flower vase with a green carnation in it.
