Edward Richard Manck, who was born in Baldwin in 1921, died in late November at the age of 91. Before he died, Manck — an underwriter for MetLife who served in the U.S. Air Force during World War II — set down some thoughts about the Baldwin of his youth. Written when Manck was 86, his words shed light on what people mean when they speak of how Long Island, “used to be.” This is the first part of Manck’s work. Part II will run next week.
