This letter is in response to the blurb about LongHouse Illuminated that appeared in the December 22 issue. LongHouse Illuminated was made possible thanks to the hard work of the entire LongHouse staff, not simply one or two individuals. The entire staff deserves to be acknowledged for their Herculean effort in making LongHouse Illuminated a reality.
On another note, kudos to Tom House for being chosen Person of the Year. Please note, however, the first-ever Hamptons Pride parade was held on June 4, not in September.
Additionally, LongHouse Reserve hosted a Pride celebration in our beautiful gardens on June 26; this event was a fundraiser for Hamptons Pride. Credit must be given where it’s due; many individuals and organizations are working diligently to promote inclusivity and equity; Tom is by no means a one-man band.

My response to Dick Sheehan’s letter [“Who Is Sick?” Letters, May 9] is that we are both familiar with what campus demonstrations looked like, having lived through the unrest of the late 1960s. I myself participated in the post-Kent State...
It may come as a surprise to see an analogy drawn between jurisprudence and astrophysics. The science of astrophysics is derived from carefully rendered and proven mathematical equations. Human curiosity draws us ineluctably to the moment when our universe was...
Ruth Ann Rosenthal’s article “Plant Natives for a Resilient Future” [Residence, May 2] was timely and inspirational. The native plants she listed are beautiful and all are very deer resistant. There are many plants native to our area that we...
