  2. Was, is and will be thanks to courageous residents who have taken on the special Harmon density agenda folks. Now that I am done with that, this was one of the nicest postings to date. Thanks for re-printing the list of winners too. It just so happens I know someone who will get a kick out of seeing this again.

  5. Thank you for all these great memories. Though we were driven out of Croton long ago by crazy taxes, we still miss the old days.
