June 26, 1954 - July 10, 2023
A yoga teacher who was passionate about nature and gardening, Tsuyumi Kobayashi of Montauk died at home on July 10. She was 69.
She was born in Gunma, Japan, on June 26, 1954. For many years, Ms. Kobayashi’s popular yoga classes were held at the Montauk Library, Montauk Playhouse, and Gurney’s Inn. Her spouse, Kobi H. Kobayashi, survives.
Memorial donations have been suggested to the library, 871 Montauk Highway, Montauk 11954, or to the playhouse, P.O. Box 1612.

A female minke whale measuring 26 feet long and weighing nearly 8,000 pounds washed up dead on a Bridgehampton beach on Wednesday. "It had a thin blubber layer; we would consider it underweight. It was severely decomposed," said Rob DiGiovanni, chief scientist for the Atlantic Marine Conservation Society.
