I've enjoyed your column, so much, for a while now. One piece I loved was about Victoria Falls on W. Bway, back in the 80s. I lived nearby, and the best suit I ever had came from there and it went on a lot of auditions--once it appeared on "As The World Turns" the day I scored an "under five." I wore it till it fell apart. And I also love hearing about Troy and Gilbertsville. I know the area, having attended an all-girls boarding school atop Mt. Ida for four long years. But I made the most of the NYC access via Amtrak from Albany where, a few months after graduation, I made it my home. Thanks for all the great stories!

Thank you so much! You must have been an Emma Willard girl! I really appreciate your comment, and I hope you continue reading. I also love taking the train down to NYC and back. I never get tired of it. I do it at least twice a month, this spring I'll be adding a few more trips. I hope you have a happy New Year. All the best!

I really enjoy ALL your post Suzanne. So many places and times I can relate to. Every time you speak of your mother I can see her smiling face. Such a wonderful “lady”. Your descriptions of G’ville and surrounding areas of NYS makes me homesick to be back there. Your knowledge of the articles you share are so interesting. Many of which I knew nothing about even after living most of my entire life in SNB. Thank you for sharing.
