About now, I start hedging bets on when our first big snowstorm of the season will be. I think December 29 is going to bring a whopper. We’ll see. I’m often wrong about these things, but something tells me that we’re in for a big one on that day.
Southampton Historical Museum volunteers Bob Beck, John Griffin, Gerald T. Adams and Howard Reisman were recently working hard at preserving headstones in the North End Cemetery located between North Sea Road and Windmill Lane. The land was acquired by the Town Trustees, most likely after the Old Burying Ground, located on Little Plains Road, had been filled. The museum is seeking donations to restore and preserve this cemetery and several others in the community. Call 283-2494 if you would like to donate to the project.
Southampton Hospital has selected Linda Jones, a lead medical technologist in the laboratory department, as the hospital’s “Employee of the Quarter” for the third quarter of 2009. Ms. Jones’s selection was celebrated at a brunch in her honor, where hospital President and CEO Robert S. Chaloner presented her with a trophy and various gifts.
A resident of Southampton, Ms. Jones has been an employee of the hospital for 37 years. Her co-workers were quoted as saying, “She is a wonderful teacher who is dedicated to patient care, safety and satisfaction,” and “She has been one of the most consistent and dependable workers for 30 plus years here at Southampton Hospital.” We send a hearty congratulations to Ms. Jones!
