Dear M. Fulgoni,

It has come to my attention that you have recently purchased a piece of property in Huntington, Long Island. If you were not aware, this residence was the last home of the great jazz legend John Coltrane.  In this structure Coltrane spent the last years of his life and wrote one of the most ethereal pieces of work the human race has known, A Love Supreme. This work ranks up there with some of the greatest pieces of American art and the memory of this artist and his art should be preserved.

As an urban planner and historic preservationist, I would encourage your to preserve the John Coltrane home for the sake of American history and culture. As you may also know, there are many economic and business incentives for historic preservation and I invite you to investigate those options.

I appreciate your willingness to hear others voices and look forward to see how you choose to use the property in the future. This future is our future.

Yours truly,

Dan Carey

I made Mr. Carey aware the “I” don’t own the property. S.F.

I read Stanley Crouch's article about John Coltrane's house in Huntington and would like to assist in the effort to preserve the house as a museum and a national and/or state landmark. John Coltrane was a profound influence in contemporary jazz and modern music. His home should become a museum devoted to jazz, peace, and freedom. How can I help?

I am a resident of Dix Hills and a tenor saxophonist as well. I have just read the article by Peter Ganon in the Half Hallow Hills Newspaper. If I could help you in any way please do not hesitate to contact me. Please let me know of any developments in this case. John Coltrane was too influential in my life as a musician. If it is a case of raising money I'm sure we can do it in "A Moments Notice". I am eager to help.

My phone number is 631-xxx-xxxx call me at anytime.

Hope to hear from you soon.

I heard about your efforts to preserve the former Coltrane residence in Dix Hills from my friend Barney Lessing and I applaud you for it. You must be a true jazz fan like Barney. I'm a jazz musician/educator living on LI and trying to keep the legacy of Coltrane and other jazz greats alive out here on the Island. I have a few venues that I present jazz in throughout Long Island. If I can be of any help please feel free to contact me.
