GOOD-BYE & GOOD LUCK TO HOLY NAME OF MARY'S PAT DENOTA
As some of you may know, Pat a.k.a. Patricia DeNota--parish secretary for Holy Name of Mary--will be leaving this week. She will be missed by one and all but especially by your editor because...
Pat is one of the best damn (oops!) secretaries I have met in years! And just a really nice person too...did I mention she is a consummate professional as well--efficient too--all fine qualities that one rarely encounters in the "business" world these days...
And so...perhaps the Irish say it best:
May love and laughter light your days, and warm your heart and home.
May good and faithful friends be yours, wherever you may roam.
May peace and plenty bless your world with joy that long endures.
May all life's passing seasons bring the best to you and yours!
Good-bye and Good Luck!
COMING SOON: MEET THE NEW SECRETARY @ HOLY NAME OF MARY

THE CROTON VILLAGE GARDEN CLUB STRIKES AGAIN...THE FLAGPOLE ON THE WATERFRONT
Once again, many thanks to the CROTON VILLAGE GARDEN CLUB for their efforts to beautify and maintain the village's neglected properties.
And now a word from Richard Zumbach; click on the photos, all rights reserved:
The club has been busy as usual and last week finished
the planting at the Croton Landing flagpole.
Croton Landing is probably the
nicest park on the Hudson, and now the entrance way looks fantastic with this
completed garden. Thanks to Molly and
others for their work on the design and for the planting of the many
plants. Your ideas are always welcome,
and from the gardens we have planted and maintained over the last couple of
years, Croton is becoming a more
attractive village for all of us to enjoy.
Our next meeting will be in
September. Trust you are enjoying the summer. Until then, making Croton
beautiful, one garden at a time...

REMEMBERING S.S. KRESGE STORES @ CHRISTMAS
While we here in the Northeast often think Woolworth's, our readers just as often tell us about S.S. Kresge Stores out in the Midwest.....
Kresge’s original stores sold a wide selection of goods for 10 cents or less. Later stores included items for a price up to one dollar, and after World War II the company expanded into large discount stores in the United States, Puerto Rico, and Canada.
You can read more Kresge history here: http://www.britannica.com/biography/S-S-Kresge
Of course, we have to share. All of these are from the early 1920's.
Click on the photos and enjoy this slice of by-gone Americana.

GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN: VIOLET RAYS!
Yes...once upon a time...A violet ray is an antique medical appliance used during the early 20th century in the obsolete medical therapy called electrotherapy. Their construction usually feature a combination of a disruptive discharge coil with an interruptor to apply a high voltage, high frequency, and low current to the human body for therapeutic purposes. Their basic construction was invented by Nikola Tesla prior to 1900, who introduced their first prototypes at the World's Columbian Exposition in 1893. Most of the antique violet rays in the US were produced before theDepression era and some of the larger US manufacturers of violet rays were Renulife, Fitzgerald and Fisher. You can read more here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violet_ray
Needless to say they promised more than they delivered!
