Hey Jim, why don't these photos enlarge? A picture is meant to be worth a thousand words. These are only like 100 words.
See noe below on page: "geek needed"
WHO ARE THE LUDLOWS? WHO'S THIS GUY TROLLY, I'VE NEVER MET HIM.
oh no, not the guy who knows everything and nothing about saltaire again.
You know Derf there are two sexes. Why do you assume, incorrectly, that I am a man?
hmmm. a lady from fair harbor that does not know who Tolly is. now you're really pulling my leg.
Who sez she is from Fair Harbor?? Lets test her: Hey Anonymous, do you know the Hommels? How about Eddie Lipinsky?
HOMMELS AND LIPINSKI - THOSE NAMES PREDATE MY TIME ON FIRE ISLAND. I ASKED SOME OF MY FRIENDS THAT HAVE BEEN OUT THERE MANY YEARS AND WAS TOLD THAT HOMMELS AND LIPINSKI AT ONE TIME OWNED STORES IN FAIR HARBOR. I ALSO SPOKE WITH SOME EAST END SALTAIRIANS TODAY AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THE TWO OF YOU ARE SALTAIRE EXPATRIATES WHO HAVE NOT LIVED THERE FOR MANY YEARS. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT THIS TOLLY GUY IS THE FORMER MAYOR'S SON.
what does that mean?
None of the people in the images on this particular post are "expatriates." Despite the passage of 60 years in some of the pix, all of the people pictured either still live in Saltaire or have family still in Saltire, except for Mrs. Paterson.

I DIDN'T SAY THAT PEOPLE IN THE PICTURES ARE EXPATRIATES. I WAS REFERRING TO YOU TWO BLOGGERS WHO, I AM TOLD, HAVE NOT LIVED IN SALTAIRE IN MANY YEARS AND ARE THEREFORE EXPATRIATES. HOW ABOUT SOME CURRENT DAY FI/SALTAIRE/FAIR HARBOR NEWS? ALSO WHO IS THIS GUY CAPTAIN FRANK? HE SEEMS TO KNOW QUITE A BIT ABOUT FI HISTORY.
Please write a story with current Saltaire News or Saltaire History. We have been begging for this from our writers for years, although I have not been there since October 2009.
Derf gets to Saltaire all the time; me too, although I have not been to Saltaire since October 2009.
I suspect you really know all of the above people and are just feigning unfamiliarity. It is inconceivable you did not know the Hommels. One of their entries on the FI Woodhull school reuniion site helped inspire this blog. Hans is in Virginia.

AS I STATED THE NAME HOMMELS PREDATES MY TIME IN FAIR HARBOR BY MANY YEARS SO, INCONCEIVABLE AS IT MAY SEEM, I DO NOT KNOW THE HOMMELS
NOR THEIR CURRENT WHEREABOUTS. I'M ASSUMING YOU TWO(DERF/JOH) ARE WELL INTO OR PAST MIDDLE AGE. DO EITHER OF YOU HAVE A SINGLE, ELIGIBLE SON? I HAVE A DROP DEAD GORGEOUS DAUGHTER WHO IS IN HER SECOND YEAR AT HARVARD LAW AND ANXIOUS TO MEET THE RIGHT GUY. HER NAME IS ALLISON.
We have never thought about an E Harmony aspect to our blog site but if you wanna take charge of it, maybe we could run it.
Tell Allison to get out of Law School before it is too late. Fire Island is full of attorneys. What is needed is more bay people like Capt. Baldwin. (and don't say you don't know who Captian Baldwin was-- you can look it up on our blog.)
Write us a story about your Saltaire perspectives.
A FI E-HARMONY WEBSITE - WHAT A GREAT IDEA. AT THE RISK OF SOUNDING TOO RISQUE ARE EITHER OF YOU OR A SALTAIRE FRIEND SINGLE? I'M RECENTLY DIVORCED AND LOOKING FOR MR RIGHT. I'M IN GREAT SHAPE(SIZE 2, 5'5", 113LBS)AND MY PERSONAL TRAINER SAYS I LOOK 15 YEARS YOUNGER THAN I ACTUALLY AM.
AS FAR AS ALLISON LEAVING LAW SCHOOL, IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN. SHE WISHES TO FOLLOW IN HER FATHER'S FOOTSTEPS(A PARTNER IN A MAJOR FIRM MAKING A SEVEN FIGURE INCOME). SHE'S GOT HER FATHER'S BRAINS AND AMBITION AND HER MOTHER'S GREAT LOOKS.
MY SALTAIRE PERSPECTIVE - BEAUTIFUL COMMUNITY, WONDERFUL, EDUCATED, AFFLUENT RESIDENTS WITH A GREAT SENSE OF COMMUNITY PRIDE.
Why are you (Derf & JOH) wasting your time posting comments from "Anonymous?"
Raymond Severe, Mayor 1946-1948
Ray:
You keep out of this. You are the reason we all knew Eddie Lipinski. You wouldn't sell us milk when we wanted it so we had to go to Fair Harbor.
Geez. Finally we get some flaming on the blog. I am interested in walks on the beach, quiet nights by the fireplace and good music.
Meanwhile I suspect that "anonymous" is some trouble maker pretending to be from FH.
what ever happened to Liz Kelly? Did you guys drive her off?
I have never seen that picture of Florence before but am willing, due to the location, to allow that it IS a picture of her. The other pix are great! THANKS Trolly. (We never thought of making that simple and quite evocative change! Nice work Anonymous!)
