May 2025
~Carol Schweizer
At the April meeting, Rachel Clothier, historian for the Town of Corinth, gave an
interesting program on the agricultural history of Corinth. She had wonderful
photographs as part of her program.
The nominating committee, chaired by Arlene Rhodes, will present the following
slate of officers to be voted on at the May Meeting:
President, Colleen Germond; V. President, Jon Hallgren; Secretary, Teri Pudney;
Board Member, Ralph Denison, for a three-year term; Board Member, Bruce
Sanders, for a one-year to finish the term of Jon Hallgren. There will be a business
meeting to elect officers beginning at 7:00pm.
Linda Bobar will be circulating a sign-up sheet at the May meeting for the annual
June picnic. The picnic will be held at the Town Hall on June 2 at 6:00pm. If you
wish to attend the picnic, you may sign up to bring a pot-luck dish to share at the
May meeting or call Linda Bobar at 518-705-6254. There will be a program after
the picnic.
The speaker for the May meeting will be David Brooks. His topic will be “A Crossing
Situation.” This program explains how Schoharie Creek was an impediment to the
Erie Canal before the artificial river opened and how Erie Canal engineers and
builders determined how to cross the waters of the Schoharie from the earliest
dam to the incredible John B. Jervis designed Schoharie Creek Aqueduct and what
that meant for the success of the Erie Canal.
Hope to see you there.
