I think that the, " Peggy Cass", whom you mention in the article was the theater and tv actress and long time Hamptons resident. I used to see her on the Jitney. Cass Elliot, (Mama Cass), of The Mamas & The Papas, died in 1974.

The only 2 that I know of are the Veterans wagon by Spadaros in East Moriches and the one girl on County Rd. 31 just south of Sunrise highway and I don't know if she's there anymore.
A couple of years ago Connie Mansfield had a wagon going by Strebels laundry in Quogue but that didn't last too long. The local residents probably didn't like it and had it booted out ...more because of zoning issues.
Wishing her family comfort and condolences at this time.
