“Bridgehampton Historical Society Announces Scholarship Program Winner”

The Bridgehampton Historical Society is proud to announce Bridgehampton resident Jacob Hostetter as their 2013 scholarship program winner. In March, Mr. Hostetter, a Bridgehampton High School senior, submitted an essay about his grandfather, Raymond H. Topping, Sr., who passed away last winter.

Mr. Hostetter’s essay is very engaging and will no doubt be of interest to the many local farming families, and even area visitors, who are well-acquainted with the Topping family’s deep roots in Bridgehampton. The essay will be published in the society’s Bridge Journal, due out soon. In addition to having his essay published, Mr. Hostetter also received an award certificate and check for $1,000. Congratulations Jacob!

The historical society’s mission is to inspire the documentation, preservation and interpretation of the history, oral history and cultural traditions of Bridgehampton and its surrounding communities. In line with this mission, the scholarship program expands on the society’s collection of oral histories and enjoys the local youths’ interpretation of the scholarship assignment.
