I just got off the plane after a great couple of days in Florida at a cousin’s wedding. I really enjoyed hanging out at the pool but not getting all the freckles. The flight home was amazing. What a sight, flying over the Newburgh-Beacon Bridge with all the beautiful fall colors on the trees.

My husband stayed home, and he played secretary for me.

I have to make a correction: Etta Pierce never went to a one-room schoolhouse. (Oops, sorry Etta), and it was Jim Cavanaugh who lost his dad and then his mom.

The Republican club of Cochecton would like to thank everyone who came out to their fundraiser dinner dance at Tony’s on the Lake. Over 65 were in attendance. District Attorney Jim Farrell won the 50/50 and donated back. He is such a sweetie.
