5 Blogs to Check Out: Remembering Bullying; Coat Drive Starts

Here are some blogs you have missed from this past week.

PJ Delia, an East Hampton High School graduate, talks about what it was like for her to be bullied.

2. First Female Shoots 300 at East Hampton Bowl

Ian Grossman, the manager at East Hampton Bowl, says that no woman in the history of the bowling alley has shot a perfect 300 — until this week. As it turns out, his wife Dot Grossman was the woman to do it.
