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.

Choosing LuxuriesThe realm of resolutions is a confusing one. The Amagansett School Board gives the Town Board a run for its money with its constant gaps in its resolutions. Anything can happen when a Board of Education chooses luxuries over teachers....
