NEW YORK, N.Y., USA: This past winter was brutally cold and at times simply depressing. Helping me to keep warm during this forthcoming winter will be photos of the previous year’s warmer moments. The Hamptons, that playground of the jet set, offers many such moments: the sun reflecting on the water, the vibrant colors and the exuberance in the air all make for lasting memories.

The dinner parties, polo matches, lively cocktail hours and homes of the rich and famous present memories that can provide winter warmth. And among these images are sprinklings of ‘providers of the smile’ — dentists.

Dr. Chester Redhead and wife, Gladys, celebrated their 61st wedding anniversary by taking over the American Hotel in Sag Harbor. Guests included me and my wife, June, and several New York powerhouse politicians, including Basil Paterson and former NYC Mayor David Dinkins.

Dr. Redhead is noted for his involvement in the Greater New York Dental Meeting and for bringing in a plethora of members to the American College of Dentists, having served as a past president of the New York County section. But perhaps he is best known for marrying Dr. Scott’s daughter. Can’t wait for the next season to begin!
