• Today: Decreasing clouds and becoming mostly sunny. Highs in the mid to perhaps upper 40s.
• Tonight: Clear with areas of fog. Cool. Low in the mid 20s.
• Saturday: A mix of sun and clouds, with increasing clouds late. High: 52
• Saturday night: Light rain or snow possible, especially south of Utica. Otherwise cloudy with lows near freezing.
• Sunday: Morning light snow or flurries giving way to sunshine. High: 53, Low: 34

Having mentioned the Optimist Club's Essay and Oratorical Contests, I'll add that The Observer-Dispatch is sponsoring an Essay Contest for students in grades 4 though 8.
The subject deals with the Erie Canal!

If Watervillians are waiting for "Kitty's at the Marina" to open for the season, it may be a very long wait!

In an E-note to the writer, Penny Morris asks the dates of Firemen's Field Days.

(It's usually the third weekend in July, isn't it? That would make it the 20 - 22. Can someone confirm that for her?)

This nice letter arrived on a miserably cold day, a week ago:

I received your site from my parents about 6 months ago and I love it. Ever since I left Waterville in 1990 after joining the Marine Corps, I have been in San Diego, CA. It is really fun looking at all the photos and remembering what it was like growing up in Waterville, and seeing all the change that has taken place. Except for the fact that it is going to be 80 degrees tomorrow, I really miss NY.

(If any of you would like to say Hi! to Greg, I'll be glad to forward your Greetings to him.)
