Some Quotes from interested parties

Carol Montparker: Did you know that Rachmaninoff also rented a house off of West Neck Rd in Huntington? The green grocer that used to be on Main Street (old Italian man who has since died), had photos all around his grocery store of Rachmaninoff shopping there!!

Gladys Fanton;  Rachmaninoff lived in the town next to ours. He would drive his boat to Northport and visit at the home of the harbormaster, Dexter Seymour, often performing for a select group of locals in a salon-like setting. Miss Fanton was a friend of Mr. Seymour, but she never had an opportunity to visit with the great pianist during these occasions. She often lamented that she would have loved to have been invited.
