Greenport News: Have-a-Heart dinner set for Feb. 6
This one is especially for you old-time Greenporters out there. The Stirling Historical Society was archiving some documents recently and came upon the names of four properties: Four Score Acres, Dismal Swamp, Mud Lane and Sow Neck. I’m hearing that Mud Lane is the property located between San Simeon on the north to the drive-in property to the south and that Dismal Swamp is the parcel located behind the homes on the north side of Wilmarth. Four Score Acres is supposedly located somewhere within the confines of the incorporated Village. Can anyone shed some light on one or more of these locations?
Peconic Landing’s annual Have-a-Heart dinner, the proceeds of which benefit CAST, will be held this year on Friday, Feb. 6. There will be two seatings, one at 5 p.m. and the other at 7. The fare will consist of lasagna/vegetarian, garlic bread, coffee and dessert. Tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for children 12 and under. Seating is limited and reservations are a must. Call CAST at 477-1717.
Greenport Drama Club’s Jan. 30 murder-mystery dinner has been postponed due to conflicts. Stay tuned to this column for the new date (most likely in the spring).
Congratulations to Kristina and Mike Checklick, who were married in San Diego on Jan. 11. Mike is the son of Maria Claudio and Mike Checklick Sr. I wish the two of you a lifetime of happiness together.
For years, Jim and Jeff traveled at least once a year to North Carolina to take in a Duke game. As a surprise to them, I got them tickets to the Garden this past Sunday and they got to see history in the making. Duke’s coach, Mike Krzyzewski, became the first coach in Division 1 history to win 1,000 games when Duke defeated St. John’s. Life is good!
Thirty-four years ago today, God blessed us with a baby girl who has grown to become my best friend. A very happy birthday is wished to our daughter, Jenn. I love you to the moon and beyond.
