Tuesday

First things first:

THANK YOU!

I don't know who did it, but someone picked up the litter!

The crunching began yesterday.


About half of the frame portion of the mill was razed ........


... and that section which had already collapsed was being compressed to kindling.

There's a very nice article in today's O-D about Bob Card and Helen Zyma and the work that they've done to restore the old Strand Theater in Old Forge. Bob also owns the old Methodist Church on White Street and the Waterville Opera House. (Which we still hope to see restored, as well!)


I drove over the portion of Lewis Road that lies to the East of Route 12, yesterday afternoon.

There's just one house, there - a fairly new one -


with a really fantastic view!

Mary Campbell sent me this photograph of Sean and Joel taken by Terry Tanner.

It was quite a site in Hamilton, Saturday, as Anaheim Ducks star Andy McDonald brought The Stanley Cup to Hamilton and his alma mater, Colgate University. McDonald graduated from Colgate in 2000, and fans were treated to an hour worth of autographs, pictures, and celebrating with McDonald and his family. Andy landed in the jet of another Colgate graduate and the cup had its own seat. His wife, his friends and his fans surrounded McDonald with his trophy by his side. You could clearly see his pride in winning the cup and sharing it with the Colgate community.
