Grace Margaret (née Wilson) Alippo died on June 2 at her home in Southampton, of cardiac failure following a series of hospital and nursing home stays. She was 81.

Born in Yonkers on September 3, 1927, she was the daughter of James and Jessie V. (née Hill) Wilson. She lived in Yonkers until her teens, when her family moved to Southampton. She married Paul F. Alippo in 1948.

A member of the North Sea Community Association, she was employed at many Hamptons and New York City locations, including the Meadow Club, Blue Haven, and various private estates and residences.

She is survived by two daughters, Sandra Robinson and Chrisanne Hamilton, both of Southampton; a brother, Daniel Wilson of Colorado; six grandsons, Frank Harrison, Paul M. Alippo Jr., Mike Robinson, Craig Robinson and his wife Debra, Kevin Robinson and his wife Joann, and Chris Robinson and his wife Jackie; three granddaughters, Debbie and her husband Bruce McKay, Cathy and her husband Rich Fiore, and Tina Robinson; 17 great-grandchildren; and many nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews.

In addition to her husband of 47 years, Paul, she was predeceased by a son, Paul M. Alippo; a sister, Barbara Wilson; and two brothers, James and David Wilson.

A memorial service will be held on Sunday, June 14, from 1 to 4 p.m. at the North Sea Community House on Noyac Road, across from the firehouse. Interment at St. Andrew’s Cemetery will be announced at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, donations to the North Sea Fire Department Ladies Auxiliary, 149 Noyac Road, Southampton, NY 11968 or Southampton Village Volunteer Ambulance Corp., P.O. Box 832, Southampton, NY 11969-0832 would be appreciated by the family.

Under Siege

Our Sag Harbor park tennis courts are under siege. There are eight clay courts and two hard courts. Information was just given at the start of the season that the hard courts will be given over to pickleball, as they were last season, but will be resurfaced and used only for pickleball — not to be shared for tennis, also. Two of the now eight clay courts, on the upper level, are to be paved this summer, I was told, so that the high school teams can use hard courts for practice in fall and spring.

Not the Best Day

So, the person who concocted the recent traffic experiment says it was “the best day yet” [“After Southampton Traffic Experiment Victory Lap, Talk Turns to Long-Term Possibilities,” 27east.com, May 7]. Obviously he didn’t drive anywhere between 3 and 7 p.m. those two weeks.

I fractured my patella in March. I was skiing in Colorado. As I stood up from the chairlift, the top of my kneecap broke away. Crazy, right? We couldn’t figure out how it happened.

But can the quadriceps of 10 men break a bone? If so, are they strong enough to lift a car? Lifting a car would be bad-expletive. Since it happened at the top of the ... by Tracy Grathwohl
