TOWN

Huntington Set to Gain $3 Million in LIPA Settlement Last week, the Town of Huntington announced the Long Island Power Authority agreed to provide an additional $3 million to the town if a settlement were to go through.

The money is in addition to the proposed settlement for the Northport Power Station tax certiorari case, according to a town press release.

After an Aug. 10 town public forum held at Heckscher Park, LIPA agreed to extend the deadline for the town to accept the latest settlement proposal on the Northport Power Station tax certiorari litigation to Thursday, Sept. 3, when the town will hold a public hearing via Zoom on the issue.

After the hearing, the board will vote on the settlement. According to town and LIPA officials, the additional $3 million is to reduce the impact of COVID-19 on Huntington residents.

“We recognize the challenge of the pandemic on the town’s finances and have accommodated their request for additional assistance in the first three years of the settlement,” LIPA officials said in an email statement. “The Northport-East Northport school board voted overwhelmingly to settle this long-standing litigation, and we believe we have made a fair offer for the town to move forward.”

Town Supervisor Chad Lupinacci (R) said in the release that the $3 million in additional

payments will be made by LIPA to the town of $1 million per year in 2021 through 2023.

“While we were fortunate to be in a strong financial position when COVID-19 hit, the long-term impacts of this unprecedented economic crisis on our local economy and future government operations are not fully known,” the supervisor said.

Councilman Mark Cuthbertson (D) said he would continue to analyze the settlement “but any money that will go to the taxpayers is certainly a welcome development.”

Councilwoman Joan Cergol (D) said the money will soften any financial impacts of COVID-19 “and is certainly worthy of consideration in helping to protect and preserve vital town services and programs that our residents depend on and deserve, especially during these, and continuing difficult times.”

The proposed deal would reduce LIPA’s annual tax bill on the Northport power plant from $86 million to $46 million by 2027.

The public hearing will start at 6 p.m. on Sept. 3. Public comment may be submitted ahead of the forum at huntingtonny.gov/ lipa-forum. The forum will livestream on Optimum 18, FIOS 38 and at huntingtonny. gov/featured-programs, where residents may sign up to speak during the forum.

The Town Board’s vote on the LIPA proposal will take place immediately after the public forum ends, and in addition to being livestreamed on Optimum and FIOS, it can be viewed at huntingtonny.gov/meetings.

After Isaias Failure, PSEG LI Returns to Earlier Reporting System

BY DANIEL DUNAIEF DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM Amid numerous investigations about its failed communication systems and inaccurate estimated time to restore power after Tropical Storm Isaias, PSEG Long Island is returning to an earlier version of outage software.

The utility, which is overseen by the Long Island Power Authority, is rolling back from version 6.7, which was installed earlier this year, to version 5.5, according to an email from LIPA in response to TBR News Media’s questions.

This is one of several steps PSEG, under LIPA’s supervision, is taking to address any future storms that might hit Long Island.

“LIPA is currently conducting an end-toend review to understand the root causes of the communications and restoration systems issues, including the outage management system and the various feeder systems,” LIPA representatives explained in its email.

The power authority also indicated that it was closely overseeing PSEG’s immediate, corrective actions through daily calls and reports and an independent review of system modifications and testing.

Conducting Reviews

LIPA is planning to issue 30, 90 and 180day reports to the LIPA Board of Trustees and the public.

The reviews include an evaluation of prestorm readiness of the telecommunication systems, a root-causes analysis of unprocessed calls and text message, and review of the design and implementation of outage management and restoration systems and processes and actionable recommendations on storm preparedness, system and management controls and approaches to increasing system reliability and performance.

While state Sen. Jim Gaughran (D-Northport) welcomed the review, his primary concern, he said, was whether the utility was prepared for the next storm, particularly in the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Laura, which devastated coastal regions of southwest Louisiana.

“It’s good that they’re doing an outside report,” Gaughran said in an interview. “It’s not going to help us now. This is a crisis situation and you would think that they would have an emergency task force … that would come up with changes and implement them” within days of the response to a storm that knocked out power for more than a week to parts of Long Island.

PSEG said in an emailed statement that the company is “working diligently to be prepared for the next major weather event and ensure that our response to Tropical Storm Isaias was an anomaly.”

The utility company indicated it had made configuration and capacity changes to the phone system, rolled back the outage management system to a more “stable” version and put “processes in place to continuously monitor our IT systems for capacity and bottleneck issues.”

While New York State Attorney General Letitia James (D) is conducting her own investigation into the company’s response to the storm, LIPA indicated that the state Department of Financial Services and the state Department of Public Service were also participating in a review.

Their involvement “is good,” said Gaughran, who has been a consistent critic of both LIPA and PSEG even before Tropical Storm Isaias. “The more the merrier.”

One of the questions Gaughran and other representatives asked about LIPA’s oversight of PSEG related to the timing and effectiveness

of the most recent stress test. In response to a letter Gaughran and Assemblyman Fred Thiele Jr. (I-Sag Harbor) sent to LIPA, CEO Thomas Falcone indicated that the outage management system was most recently stress tested in June of this year.

“Part of LIPA’s review includes the stress-testing procedures used in the past and improvements for the future,” Falcone said in his response.

Cost of the Cleanup

Gaughran and Thiele said they are also focused on the source of any reimbursement the company receives in connection with costs related to the storm.

Long Island ratepayers “shouldn’t be paying for the cost of out-of-town crews sitting around waiting to do work and not doing work because the management failed to communicate,” Gaughran said. The costs of bringing in those crews from out of state and feeding and housing them should be shared by shareholders of PSEG, the state senator contended.

“I believe shareholders have to be responsible for at least any portion of the additional costs related to [PSEG’s] incompetence and failure in dealing with the communication system,” he said. Had the communication system worked as it should, the time to restore power might have been cut down dramatically, Gaughran argued.

“LIPA retains a third-party auditor for storm-recovery costs where federal funds are involved, as will likely be the case for Isaias,” Falcone said in his letter to the senator and assemblyman.

LIPA estimates that the cost of restoration, which involved more than 6,000 personnel,

was over $350 million, with about $260 million eligible for FEMA reimbursement. The main driver of the costs, Falcone added in the letter, was the extensive damage to the electric grid, which occurred at over 20,000 locations.

Reiterating sentiments he shared during a virtual joint hearing of the New York State Senate and Assembly, Falcone said the system PSEG designed and implemented did “not meet the standards of our contract. LIPA retains all of its contractual rights and remedies, and will pursue the appropriate course of action after the conclusion of the various investigations.”

Gaughran said he would consider Falcone’s response to his letter and would likely respond with more questions that address additional concerns.

“There are a lot of issues I hope” LIPA addresses, the state senator said, including why the company didn’t contract with workers from National Grid, who were already on the Island.

“You had Long Islanders ready to work,” he said. “They could have been put into operation immediately.”

Gaughran doesn’t necessarily think LIPA needs to revoke its contract with PSEG. Rather, he wants to “get a system so the lights can go back on at a reasonable time.”

Still, the state senator believes the way LIPA oversees PSEG may not provide sufficient reassurance for residential and business customers.

Ultimately, he would like the state Legislature to revisit the structure of the agreement between LIPA and PSEG. “This structure isn’t working,” Gaughran said.

In his letter to the politicians, Falcone agreed that “Long Islanders deserve better” than the response they got from PSEG after Isaias. “LIPA is working to ensure they get better.”

Don Monti Memorial Foundation Donates $50K to Huntington Cancer Institute

BY DANIEL DUNAIEF DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM The Don Monti Memorial Research Foundation donated $50,000 to the Northwell Health Cancer Institute in Huntington to help finance a dedicated cancer center.

The Northwell Cancer Institute at Huntington provides a variety of cancer services to residents of Suffolk County, including medical oncology and hematology, radiation oncology, cancer surgery subspecialties, cancer infusion center, cancer navigation and a range of screening and diagnostic imaging services.

The center is integrating outpatient services with Huntington Hospital, which provides surgery, inpatient care and emergency department services.

“We are extremely grateful for the long-term support the Monti family has given the community of cancer services and patients,” said Dr. David Rivadeneira, director of the Northwell Cancer Institute at Huntington.

Rivadeneira said the funds would help with the overall growth of the Huntington Cancer Center.

“The goal is to create cutting edge care and technology in a setting of compassion and overall care,” Rivadeneira said.

The cancer arena has recruited doctors in all areas of cancer care and treatment.

“As long as we can provide top notch care, there is no reason for these patients to venture anywhere else,” Rivadeneira said.

During the pandemic, the customary opportunities for raising funds for efforts like the cancer center are more limited, as the hospital can’t hold galas and other gatherings.

Rivadeneira said the cancer center is “always looking for donations and support from the community.” Given what the region has been through with COVID-19, the need for funds to support timely care has increased.

Rivadeneira appreciated the support of the Monti family and other community members, who have helped finance the development of a colorectal cancer treatment center. The Northwell Cancer Institute director said the recent, untimely

death of 43-year old actor Chadwick Boseman, who starred in “42” and “Black Panther” from colon cancer, highlighted the importance of resources necessary to care for the population.

Rivadeneira urged people with cancer who need medical care to seek help, even as the pandemic continues to require ongoing changes in activities.

“We know that patients did delay their care in terms of screening,” Rivadeneira said. “That has significant negative repercussions in terms of their treatment care.”

The doctor said the hospital has implemented special processes, which makes them as safe as they have been since COVID-19 first started.

“People need to know that we’re up and running,” he said. “We are taking every single precaution necessary to keep people safe and keep the numbers down.”

Rivadeneira suggested that Northwell’s affiliation with Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory gave patients access to a premiere research facility which provides cutting edge advances in cancerrelated care.

The Don Monti Memorial Research Foundation was established 48 years ago when Tita Monti’s son Don succumbed to myeloblastic leukemia.

The foundation is focused on cancer patient care, education and research and hopes to contribute to developing a cure.

Don Monti’s sister Caroline Monti Saladino, who is the president of the Don Monti Memorial Research Foundation, was pleased to see these cancer care efforts in the area.

“I have lived in the Huntington area for 40 years and witnessed the exceptional care provided

by Huntington Hospital,” Saladino said in a statement. “I would be honored to see patients in a more comfortable situation in our local area.”

The Don Monti Cancer Center, located on the first floor of Huntington Hospital, has a 20-bed inpatient unit for patients that need constant care.

The center has an outdoor veranda for family meetings and facilities for family members who would like to spend the night. Since 1972, the Don Monti Memorial Cancer Foundation has raised $46 million in the fight against cancer.

Town Rolls Out First Sand and Water-Accessible Wheelchair Mobi Mats at Beaches Town of Huntington Supervisor Chad Lupinacci (R), Councilman Mark Cuthbertson (D), and Councilwoman Joan Cergol (D) were joined by Centerport resident Dylan Thompson for the inaugural roll-out of the Town of Huntington’s first sand-accessible wheelchair mats at Crab Meadow Beach Thursday, Aug. 27.

“It was a proud moment to see these new mobile mats rolled out for the first time ever at Crab Meadow Beach, bringing muchneeded accessibility to the sands and waters of Huntington’s shores,” Lupinnacci said. “Dylan Thompson played an integral role in getting this technology to our beaches and we are so grateful for his advocacy.”

“With the new Mobi Mats at Crab Meadow, Centerport and Hobart beaches, folks like Dylan will be able to enjoy the beach, just like everyone else,” Cuthbertson said. “Eventually, all of our beaches will have these Mats and be accessible to everyone, as they should be.”

Cergol added, “I want to thank Dylan Thompson for his outstanding activism that has made our beautiful beaches more accessible

and user friendly to those who love the beach as he does. I derived great joy and satisfaction in watching Dylan take the inaugural run along our newly-installed Mobi Mats at Crab Meadow Beach and look forward to him continuing to use his voice to lead us to yet other inspired ideas that enhance residents’ enjoyment of our Town.”

At its July 21 meeting, the Town Board unanimously approved a resolution cosponsored by Lupinacci and Cergol for up to $12,500 in Environmental Open Space and Park Improvement funds to purchase 6.5-foot wide “Mobi Mats” to enhance sand and water accessibility at Asharoken Beach, Fleets Cove Beach, Gold Star Battalion Beach and Quentin Sammis West Neck Beach; matching funding from the Community Development Agency is expected to be approved for the purchase of these mats before the opening of the 2021 summer beach season. At the same meeting, the Town Board unanimously approved a resolution co-sponsored by Cuthbertson and Cergol for the purchase and installation of Mobi Mats for

available at seven town beaches,” Thompson said. “These mats are really going to help a lot of people, not just disabled beachgoers like myself. That really makes me feel lucky to have been able to help so many people.”

Suffolk and NYC Residents Finding Escapes Close to Home

BY DANIEL DUNAIEF DESK@TBRNEWSMEDIA.COM

Residents of both Suffolk County and New York City have turned to local hotels and bed and breakfasts to enjoy time away from home amid limited travel options during the pandemic.

With out-of-state guests from numerous states limited in their travel to the area, corporate travel down considerably, and sports teams either shut down or playing without any fans, area hotels have still attracted guests from nearby towns and villages and from city residents disappointed with ongoing urban closures and eager to enjoy a natural setting.

“It’s very different now,” said Jamie Ladone, sales executive at the Holiday Inn Express Stony Brook. “We’re not getting as many outof-state guests,” but the hotel is finding people who are eager for a staycation.

Indeed, Emilie Zaniello and her family recently spent a weekend at the Holiday Inn, just 20 minutes from her home in Centereach “We needed to get out of our element, to take a break from everyday life and the stresses right now,” said Zaniello, who stayed during a weekend with her husband John and their two children, 8-year-old Abigail, and 6-year-old John Robert.

The family felt “cooped up in the house” as their children didn’t have as much of an opportunity to do “normal, everyday things,” Zaniello said.

Abigail and John Robert enjoyed playing on the baseball field and the basketball court, while the family also booked time to go swimming.

“It just felt like a mini-vacation, where we didn’t have to go too far,” said Zaniello, who

drove back and forth to her home to take care of the family’s two miniature dachshunds.

At the Holiday Inn, Suffolk residents have also enjoyed the indoor pool, outdoor patio, and volleyball and basketball courts, which families can use while maintaining social distancing, Ladone said. The hotel also has a putting green, horseshoes, and a baseball field and basketball court.

“We have people looking to spend quality time together like a family outdoors,” Ladone said.

The Holiday Inn has a meeting space upstairs with a seating capacity, under nonpandemic conditions, of 100. The hotel is hosting baby showers and corporate events outdoors on their patio.

The Holiday Inn has booked about 30 percent more outdoor parties than usual, Ladone said.

The Stony Brook hotel has also partnered with Spa Exotique, which offers massages or facials, and kayak packages with Stony Brook Harbor Kayak and Paddleboard.

Bed and Breakfast

Bed and breakfasts in the area are also attracting attention from residents of Suffolk County and New York City.

At the Fox and Owl Inn in Port Jefferson, people are booking their rooms one to three weeks before they need them, reflecting the uncertainty about plans that might need to change amid fluid infection rates.

For the past two months, the Fox and Owl has been booking about 90 to 95 percent of their capacity, with a majority of the guests coming from New York City and Long Island rather than the usual far-flung locations across the country and world.

The bed and breakfast derived its name from

Editorial Letters to the Editor Dear North Shore Students On Black Indignities: Enough is Enough We’re not going to lie to you. We know this school year is going to be a tough one.

If the end of the 2019-20 academic year has taught us anything, it’s that getting an education during a pandemic is difficult. Watching parents rally across the North Shore has also shown that not all parents agree with their districts’ plans for the new school year. Some want more in-person learning, while others want options for keeping you home instead.

While it’s imperative for parents and school administrators to work together to provide the best education for their children, for students the most important thing on your minds should be getting that education while staying healthy.

We know some parents feel that their children may have fallen behind during the few months schools went fully remote earlier in the year. All of a sudden switching to remote learning left many districts scurrying to figure out how to best utilize this type of e-learning. While some said they excelled at it, others very much did not.

No matter how you’re returning to school, it’s important for you to raise your hand if something doesn’t make sense whether it’s regarding a lesson or even how to follow public health guidelines.

It can be hard sometimes for a student to admit they don’t know something, but now more than ever it’s important to take control of your studies and your health. Every child has dreams for the future, and it’s the school’s responsibility to help them obtain those goals. So, to students, we say, “Speak up!” Let your parents know how you’re feeling about how things are going, or touch base with a teacher or guidance counselor.

For those who are attending in-person classes, we know you’ll have to handle new precautionary measures such as social distancing, wearing masks when it’s not possible to stand 6 feet away and having temperatures taken upon leaving the house or entering the school. We know a lot of responsibility has been put on your shoulders. What do you do if you see someone not complying? Speak up.

It’s hard, we know. Bullying is a bigger problem than ever so you may not want to call attention to yourself. But with some New York colleges open for only a week or two, we are already seeing some temporary closings, including SUNY Oneonta which at the beginning of the week reported 177 COVID-19 positive cases since the start of the fall semester with 44 students quarantining and 65 in isolation on campus. The guidelines are to help keep you and your loved ones as healthy and safe as possible. It’s imperative to realize that someone can be infectious, even if symptoms aren’t being shown.

We know this is a lot of responsibility to put on young shoulders. But as journalists that have been fortunate enough to interview many of the students in our coverage areas, we know the depth and breadth of the intelligence and empathy of our youth.

To those who will study for hours despite not having immediate access to teachers, and to the student-athletes who continue to practice alone on the field or on the lawn with their parents, we see you. We know you got this.

Our editorial staff also wants to let our young people know that we’re here for you. If you see a persisting problem going on at your school, email us at news@tbrnewsmedia.com, and we’ll look into it. You can even share with us your feelings about navigating these new waters in a letter to the editor to be published right in this very newspaper.

It’s going to be hard, but we’ll get through this together.

There are so many issues of importance to humanity at this time. It is difficult to address all of them so I will select just one to discuss at this time.

The issue is racism. I am a white, 66-year-old woman who has lived on Long Island most of my life in communities of mostly white skinned people. It would have been better for me to have had a more diverse experience with people. But I have always tried to live by the words of Dr. Martin Luther King: “ to judge a person by the content of their character not the color of their skin.”

I have always admired the extraordinary patience of the Black community to put up with the treatment they have received for over 400 years.

400 years! 400 years! 400 years and still they wait, always hoping that around the corner, things will get better. Things have gotten better but it is at a glacial pace and in 2020, enough is enough, is

enough, it’s just got to stop.

The effects of slavery on Black persons, families and communities are long lasting and deeply ingrained in the fabric of our society. Just think about it, if your skin is dark colored you could be, in a moment, kidnapped, shipped thousands of miles from home, sold as chattel, tortured, raped, separated from your spouse, separated from your children, children torn from their mothers arms, lynched, shot, denied an education, denied a library card, denied the use of bathroom facilities, used for medical research, ignored for service in stores, denied health care. The list of indignities goes on and on and on.

Are we surprised when Black communities unleash their rage in violence? Rather it is amazing that they have not become more violent sooner and in much more a destructive way. The Black community has been

at the receiving end of the violence of the white society for 400 years.

How about the violent destruction of the Black community in Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1921? White people destroyed a thriving Black community, now that’s violence and no one was held accountable for this crime. Let’s be honest with ourselves. The white community has been violent against the Black community for hundreds of years and very few have been held accountable. If you are going to talk about law and order, let’s be honest and talk about it from both sides.

America is at a crossroads right now.

Let’s make our nation the best it can be for all our fellow citizens. Let’s make changes in our institutions NOW, in our thoughts NOW, in our hearts NOW and then we will have the nation that we all desire.

Democratic National Convention Held No Surprises

The recent Democratic convention was full of a lot of things, but surprise was not one of them. They excoriated President Donald Trump (R), whom they claim to believe is a racist, misogynist, xenophobe, homophobe and bigot. They ignored all of the great accomplishments of his first term, including achieving the lowest unemployment rates ever for African Americans and Hispanic Americans, the highest number of employed Americans in history, the highest median household income ever recorded and countless other benefits of real and lasting importance to the American people. They nominated former Vice President Joe Biden (D), for whom no person yet discovered has any enthusiasm whatsoever and turned out the lights and went back to their basements.

Aside from Trump’s accomplishments, there was one other relevant subject that completely escaped their attention, and that was the violence, looting, mayhem and anarchy that has paralyzed an alarming number of our greatest cities, perpetrated by members of Antifa and other Democratic sympathizers. The reason for this apparent lack of interest may be that all of the victimized cities, without exception, are governed by mayors of the Democratic persuasion, aided and abetted by equally misguided governors, and this is a subject that they would prefer not to discuss in public.

Needless to say, the bad actors who commit this despicable and felonious violence are not to be confused with peaceful protesters, who are exercising their rights of free speech and peaceful assembly. Regrettably, it appears that our

Democratic mayors and governors choose not to recognize this distinction, and have elected to pander to their supporters by declining to enforce the laws that they have sworn to uphold, and to jeopardize the property and lives of law-abiding citizens for the sake of securing the votes of their antisocial supporters. The good news is that the choice for voters could not be more clear.

If you want Stony Brook to become Portland, Setauket to become Kenosha and Smithtown to become Seattle, you should vote for Biden. If not, and you like the idea that all of us are entitled to “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness,” as guaranteed in the Declaration of Independence, then Trump must get your vote.

Opinion

Thoughts on the Eve of a Radically Altered College Drop Off

A

heaviness hovers in the air as we prepare to pack our daughter’s stuff into the car and drive her back to college, an environment fraught with new rules and anxiety. We realize this experiment in campus life, such as it is, might end in days or even a few weeks, as her school may pull the same rip chord it used in March.

While she is returning to campus, all but one of her classes is remote.

The in-person class D. None meets twice a week, of the above so she is going

BY DANIEL DUNAIEF back to a restricted college life for two hours a week of in-person learning.

Last year, with its jumble of emotions from taking her to college for the first time,

seems so wonderfully innocent and low stress by comparison.

By taking her to college this week, she is already arriving on campus three weeks after classes began and is scheduled to return home before Thanksgiving. That means she’ll be on campus, at most, for two and a half months. That is two weeks longer than summer camp.

We want her to learn, have fun, meet new people and take advantage of college opportunities. Taking these goals one at a time, I’m not convinced that remote classes in which professors record lectures students can watch at their leisure provides the ideal academic experience.

How can they ask questions? How can they turn to the person sitting next to them, or, in the modern world, six seats away, and ask to repeat what they didn’t hear or to see if the professor might have misspoken?

College learning occurs on and off campus.

In an ideal world, students not only learn from their professors and teaching assistants, but also from each other. They form study groups where

they share notes and test each other.

They could share their screens and form virtual study groups. In these small groups, however, they can and do send private chats to other people and feel freer to respond to the beep or flash of light on another electronic device, distracting them from the group exercise.

The personal connection through the computer is also limited, as people can’t slap each other on the back or chase each other around a library during a much-needed break.

We also want her to have fun, which isn’t the top priority for schools desperate to stay alive financially while keeping the campus community healthy. Even with the most active measures to protect everyone, the virus finds ways to evade detection and to spread.

The virus has become the boogeyman of our childhood nightmares, but instead of lurking under the bed or in dark corners of the closet, it waits on door knobs, in airborne particles and on banisters.

To protect everyone, the school isn’t allowing students to visit other dorms. They are limited in

social gatherings outside, where they have to be six feet apart and also need to wear masks.

In a recent email, my daughter’s school told her, “If you see something, say something.”

Those words, which became the cultural norm after 9/11, suggest that careless students are the equivalent of viral terrorists. Perhaps a better approach would be to encourage students to model safe behavior and to protect themselves and others on campus.

To facilitate safer social interactions, schools might consider putting up tents, in which they place small circles on the floor that are six feet apart. Students could visit each other in these settings, where they can talk and laugh and see each other in person and wear that great blouse or cool shirt that doesn’t look as good on zoom.

Ultimately, the opportunities they have will depend on the ability of the school, working with students, to figure out what they can do and not what they can’t or shouldn’t. We hope the challenges and adversity of the current reality somehow bring our daughter figuratively closer to her new friends, at a safe social distance.

Autumn Is Here and to Be Enjoyed

n old friend visited, one who had lived here many years, and we used the occasion to have a mini reunion of sorts. The half dozen or so of us wives and mothers, who had come to Long Island in our 20s and raised our children here as our husbands built their careers, are now widows together.

We gathered at the beach, then again over breakfast, then on to another beach over two days to catch Between each other up on our lives and you and me the progress of

BY LEAH S. DUNAIEF our children and grandchildren. It was a moveable feast of personal histories and philosophies.

The good news is that our children and grandchildren seem to be doing pretty well.

Some of the children went into the same careers as their fathers or mothers, others went in different directions. Almost all moved off the Island, although they return for regular visits or Zoom during this unprecedented time. Watching the grandchildren grow and develop their own lives and ideas with little responsibility needed from us is a delight.

Of course, we talked about our various health issues and traded advice, but not too much since there were more interesting subjects. One theme that came up was our appreciation for what life has given us. We all treasure our families and the love among the members. We also deeply rejoice in our friendships, especially those of a lifetime. Old friends cannot be replaced. They remember our parents, they laugh with us over what seemed in the past like serious problems and they bear witness to our lives. They know us for who we are, and best of all, they don’t see us as aged, but rather essentially as we looked when we first met.

Over the years, we swam together at the apartments’ pool, we cooked for each other with late dinners — “gourmet groups,” we

called them — after the kids were put to bed in our new homes. We skied together in Vermont, played tennis at the school courts and then in the tennis clubs, we sailed together on the Sound, we cheered as our offspring moved through elementary, junior and senior high schools, we applauded as they went off to colleges of their choice, and we began to dine out regularly with each other. We comforted each other as, one by one, we began to lose our parents. We were becoming the older generation.

Most fun of all, we began to travel with each other. Places we visited, in no particular order and with various combinations of friends, included Canada, Alaska, France, Switzerland, Holland, Belgium, Monaco, England, Wales, Ireland, Scotland, Spain, Portugal, Morocco, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Montenegro, Estonia, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Russia, China, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Singapore, Bali, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Australia, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Grand Cayman, St. Thomas, Costa Rica, Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Italy, Italy, Italy.

For each and every one of those destinations, we have indelible memories, and always of some combination of us together. And we have the endless number of photographs to remind us of the details.

What are we left with now? We are enormously grateful for our lives, our health, our children and grandchildren, our memories and our future, we hope, to some degree together. We are more mellow now and able to distinguish the minor irritations from the major challenges. We think of ourselves as in the autumn of our lives, grateful for all we can do and aspire to do. And interestingly, none of us has moved to live with any of our children, although some of us have moved to smaller quarters or warmer locations. If we could just get past this pandemic and go back to kicking up our heels, we would look forward to that.

The underlying theme from our gatherings is our profound gratitude and appreciation for life. One friend said she notices birds more, listens to their songs, admires their colors, enjoys nature in a deeper way now. I think she spoke for us all.
