Credit Is Due

I am a Westhampton Beach resident and I watched the work closely at the windmill [“Top Two Portions of Dix Windmill Assembled in Westhampton Beach,” 27east.com, January 7]. The contractor who moved the windmill from its original site to the new location, and who also pieced it together at the new location, didn’t get any credit in your article. I think it’s important they are recognized. The company is Dawn House & Building Movers, owned by Stanley Kazel. Jess B. Estie Westhampton Beach 11 Jan 2025 by Staff Writer
