EverythingCroton is delighted to bring the following to your attention--Erin also thanks Patrick Calcutti, Tom Faranda, Croton Historian Dodie Pezanowski, Gary Cahill, Kathy Vogel and many others:
My name is Erin Livingston. I live in Croton and I am a Girl Scout in Kathy Vogel’s troop 1244. In the past year, I have been working with the Village Historian writing a book to tell the stories of Croton’s 26 deceased veterans, honored by having a street named after them. The following book is part of my Girl Scout Gold Award, a project I started to help preserve some of Croton’s history and honor our men who were once in service.

At a time when the country seems to headed away from its core values, it's always great to read a girl or boy scout story like this one.
ReplyDeleteThank you for putting up the link. If you hadn't I wouldn't have even known this was on the village website. Linda
