About this episode

Susan McGuirk shares her memories of growing up in East Hampton during the 60s and 70s.

Esperanza and Irwin kick off Season 9! We often talk of the east end, in terms of the families here for generations. And when a lifelong resident has lived on a street named for the family...well, that takes on a whole other level. And Sue McGuirk, who spent many of her formative years on McGuirk Street, reminisces about growing up in the East Hampton of 60 and 70 years ago. With family working on dairy farms, long lost businesses, and surrounded by cousins, aunts and uncles in a different East Hampton.
