ReplyDeleteFANTASTIC PULL TOGETHER OF SOME NEAT THINGS. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
ReplyDeleteDidn't agree with this guy on a lot but where we did meet was just fine. RIP.
ReplyDeleteI found this quite fascinating. I must explore the Historical Society more some time having recently moved to Croton.
ReplyDeleteThe society is open on Mondays--10 am--that's a big working day for them--archiving, working on newsletters, exhibits, etc. Currently there is a Postcard exhibit worth seeing.
DeleteThank YOU!
