BY SPECIAL REQUEST FOR A RE-POST---AN AMERICAN CHRISTMAS CAROL, HENRY WINKLER

BY SPECIAL REQUEST FOR A RE-POST---And now here's one for the Christmas bucket list...Click on the photos and links.

Add this made-for-TV DVD to your Christmas film archives....the 1979 production of AN AMERICAN CHRISTMAS CAROL.

Yes...it is schmaltzy....and sentimental...but so well done.  Directed by Eric Till and based on Charles Dickens' 1843 novella A Christmas Carol, it stars Henry Winkler--yes Fonzie--as Bernard Slade, a depression-era Scrooge. Winkler is truly quite effective in part.

The plot is simple enough---in Depression-era Concord, New Hampshire, a miserly businessman named Benedict Slade receives a long-overdue attitude adjustment one Christmas Eve when he is visited by three ghostly figures who resemble three of the people whose possessions Slade had seized to collect on unpaid loans.  Read more about it here. p.s. It was released on Blu-ray in December 2012.

It's also available on Amazon and a must-add to your Christmas movie library.

ICYMI--THREE ITEMS FROM THE MAILBOX

1)To the reader who was looking for info on Croton's "Explorer Club" in the "70's", here's an article we located, circa 1972; SEE  MORE HERE

There is probably more at The Croton Historical Society; GO TO www.crotonhistoricalsociety.org

2) A reader is looking for info on a Croton sculptor named Helene Sardeau-- it's HELEN not Helene--You can read more about her here

3) From time to time and as recently as last week, the blog gets questions about current transgender and BLM issues regarding "local scout troops".  While the "BLM Diversity and Inclusion badge" was allegedly on hold for assorted reasons back in 2021, we simply don't know where any of this stands at present.  Your best bet, however, is to contact the organizations/troop leaders in question directly. Good luck.

Mayclim Basketball Invitational

Mayclim Basketball Invitational--The Croton-Harmon Booster Club is proud to host the Robert E. Mayclim Memorial Basketball Invitational, named after a Croton-Harmon Booster Club Legend! Robert “Bobby” Mayclim, aka “The Voice of Croton”. Bob was a dedicated Booster who served as the announcer of all the games in the 1980’s. Crowds were mesmerized by his professional level of commentary, amazing sense of humor, and incredible enthusiasm. His Tiger Spirit was contagious to all that knew him. Mr. Mayclim and his wife, Barbara were the proud parents of Scott, Dana, and Troy. Unfortunately, Bob left us too soon in July of 1986, but his never ending spirit and memories live on in his children and grandchildren. Through our annual Mayclim Memorial Invitational, we honor his memory and commitment to the Croton-Harmon Booster Club and our entire community.

The Mayclim Invitational will take place one day only this year, on Saturday, December 13th.
