Dan meets that other Dan in the Hamptons

In early August, Dan made a one-day trip from New Jersey to Long Island to bring some things out to the Noyac cottage, then spent the day with Kathy. They went to the ocean beach in Bridgehampton, and late in the afternoon they noticed a bunch of kites in the air at Sagg Main Beach. So they drove over to investigate.

It turned out to be the Dan's Papers 45th Annual Kite Fly, and Dan Rattiner, the founder and president of those Hampton weeklies, was on hand. "We met and chatted for a bit," says our Dan, "telling him we'd been reading his papers since they first appeared in the early 1960s. Then Kathy insisted we pose for a Dan-meets-Dan photo."

Can you tell which white-bearded Dan is which?

Kathy also met and spoke with local artist Lucy Rubin, who had drawn the cover art for that week's issue and brought along her own kite, embellished with angel wings. Unfortunately, she said, it didn't fly well.
