VIEWED WITH CONTEMPT

To the editor:

Recently, N Magazine carried a report on a fancy dress party held on Tuckernuck Island, as though Tuckernuck is today's Newport East. The depiction is completely contrary to the laid back, quiet and otherwise peaceful atmosphere Tuckernuck has always enjoyed. Most Tuckernuckers view this magazine spread with contempt and detestation.

It is reported that the party was topped off with a fistfight. In addition, one of the catering personnel suffered a facial laceration requiring a trip to the local hospital ER. What wonderful publicity!

One cannot help wondering what the host of the party had in mind, especially since he is involved in local real estate.
