There is probably more at The Croton Historical Society; CHECK WITH THEM DIRECTLY AT www.crotonhistoricalsociety.org

2) A reader is looking for info on a Croton sculptor named Helene Sardeau-- NOTE: 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 given assorted scandals, ongoing investigations, etc. Your best bet, however, is to contact the organizations/troop leaders in question directly. And good luck.
