Teddy Goldberg of Great Neck, formerly of East Moriches, died on June 20, 2018, in Manhasset, after a long illness.

Born Teddy Allen in Brooklyn, June 1926, her parents were Jacob and Bessie Tabachnick Allen. She met her future husband, George, who lived around the corner, when she was 16. They married in 1947; Mr. Goldberg predeceased her in 2003.

Ms. Goldberg was a proud alumna of James Madison High School in Brooklyn. She worked at various jobs, taking time out to raise her three children in Jericho and Great Neck. She and her husband started their own businesses; GGX Associates in 1974, and Scan Newsletter in 1977, both of which were involved with the bar code/scanning industry, then in its infancy.

Ms. Goldberg was an incredible knitter in her younger years. She loved the theater and was an accomplished painter. She enjoyed travelling and visited both Russia and China, when she was well into her 60s. Survivors said she was a great listener and very funny to be around. She had great taste and was always very stylish.

The Goldbergs owned a home on Hart’s Cove in East Moriches from 1983 until 2014. Survivors said they loved their time “away” in East Moriches, where they made many friends and spent happy weekends in all seasons looking out on the bay.

Ms. Goldberg is survived by her children, Jeff of Washington, D.C., Robbi of Westhampton Beach, David and wife Nanci of Port Washington; and a grandson, Jonathon of Port Washington.

No More Deals

I am writing in opposition to the proposed residential project on the site of the Dockers restaurant on Dune Road in East Quogue [“East Quogue Residents, Environmental Advocates Condemn Condo Proposal at Dockers Site,” 27east.com, November 8]. As I understand it, the project requires a zoning change from one nonconforming use to another. I have lived in the town long enough to remember that when a nonconforming use was exhausted, the site had to revert to a conforming use. No more exceptions, no more deals — simply adhere to the existing zoning. I believe this continued movement to disregard existing ... by Staff Writer

Thankful, and Not

Thanksgiving is synonymous with harvest. Reaping what you have sown, you walk across the threshold of the field, your machete idle but ready to swing, to neatly lob off a head of broccoli. The level of satisfaction is hard to replicate in layman’s terms, somewhere between basketball’s slam dunk and capturing the flag. Harvest is what gave us some primordial ease, that the dark, cold months will not be hungry ones. The ancient discovery that successful agriculture could offer its practitioners self-reliance — to a degree — is what set us on the path to discovering other things, like gratefulness. ... by Marilee Foster

End the Tyranny

Re: “Sound Familiar?” [Letters, November 6]: Yes, it sounds familiar. I have been giving a lecture called “The Tyranny of Landscaping” for 30 years in over 200 venues across Long Island. The “tyranny” is as follows: First, it’s complete and utter ecosystem destruction. Next comes the turf grass, along with trees and shrubs from other parts of the world that need life support to live here. Next, it’s the pesticides, the water use, the emissions, and then that damned life-ruining noise of the !+@%”*#*^*! “Infernal Gadgets” [Letters, November 13] — leaf blowers! Why?
