Hi Ginnie--
Thanks for the great article on the
yard sale which the Friends of
Sayville Library held.
I knew you were going to write one, as
you called me. But I got an e-mail
from Allan Heid, our library liaison,
telling us to check out your great
article. I went to sayville.com and
was thrilled to read your article and
see the many pictures. The article is
certainly great publicity for our
organization.
Thanks so much,

Hello Ginnie,
What a wonderful tribute to this
courageous woman, thank you for
sharing this for all to see and
honoring Florence B. Evans in her home
town. I am so proud to live in a town
where "people do count" and our
citizens can learn about the wonderful
people who serve this great country
day in and day out.
As a local realtor I am always happy
to learn about new places of interest
and memorials to our local residents.
Thank you for sharing.
My mother is an English War-Bride, who
met my dad in England during the war!
Their stories have always fascinated
me, amazing feats of honor, courage
and strength.

say about Grace's writing... |
Dear Grace,
Thank you for your piece on Thornhills.
I was driving through town yesterday
after work and saw the signs in the
windows telling customers that their
prescriptions had been transferred to
Walgreens. It made me feel so sad.
The things that have made Sayville
unique are slowly being chipped away
at -- Charlotte Shop is now Eckards,
the Car Shoppe is now Walgreens. Soon
Sayville will lose the Bunkhouse and a
TD Bank will take its place.
The new things look nice and I'm not
advocating for things to remain the
same for the sentiment's sake, but it
is a loss. I think your piece struck a
good balance of honoring the past and
not blaming the present or future.
Thanks again,
Tom Malanga

Goodbye Old Friend |
My phone rang just yesterday to tell
me about it. As you said, how sad.
He has been a trusted friend these
past 14 years and irreplaceable. He
was my one and only pharmacist since I
moved to Sayville. He just mailed me a
box of my med renewals 2 weeks ago!
Sad, very sad,

Goodbye Old Friend |
Thank you for sharing in this sad
news. I, along with many Sayville
folks have wonderful stories of the
kindness from Thornhill's Pharmacy. Ed
and his staff will surely be missed.
It's a SAD, SAD day in Sayville

Hey there. It’s Cary!

Thanks and I hope to see you around
