"Dutch Vernacular Architecture in North America, 1640-1830 is a significant contribution to architectural history and our understanding of the early Dutch settlers. It is an indispensable guide to those restoring early Dutch houses."

The 2008 reunion of the Kerhonkson Union School graduates took place at the Ivan's restaurant in Accord on July 7. A 65-year old tradition, reunions — after the 19th one — are now held every 5 years. Douglas Booth (class of 1938) was the oldest person present. He is 89 years old. Other records were revealed: the person married for the longest time to the same spouse (63 years), the person with most kids (Minnie Sobel, 9), the largest number of grandchildren (Phil Davis, 27).
The Graduates
County Exec candidates had first debate
Len and Terry Bernardo had reasons to smile after the first debate among the candidates for Ulster County Executive co-hosted on June 10 by Ulster County Tourism Advisory Board and Ulster County Lodging Coalition. After the debate, the candidates Len Bernardo (R,I), Mike Hein (D), and Allan Wikman (I) — as well as the audience, were invited by Stan Ackerman of Rocking Horse Ranch to the ribbon-cutting ceremony marking the resort's 50th anniversary.
2008 Memorial Day Parade
Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, is a day of remembrance for those who have died in our nation's service. Officially proclaimed on 5 May 1868 by General John Logan, national commander of the Grand Army of the Republic, it was first observed on 30 May 1868, when flowers were placed on the graves of Union and Confederate soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery.
Town of Rochester's 2008 Memorial Day parade — organized by the Kerhonkson-Accord Chamber of Commerce — was a huge success. A record number of Rochesterites brought their families to watch the procession of floats, high school band, vintage cars, trucks, horses, and even a clown or two. The parade ended with a Memorial Service, followed by celebration at the Rochester Town Park.
Among the participants and watchers there were many elected officials: State Senator John Bonacic, County Legislators Sue Cummings and Mary Sheeley, Town of Rochester Supervisor Carl Chipman, Councilwomen Lynn Archer and Manuela Michailescu, Councilman Tavi Cilenti, Town Justice Al Babcock, Highway Superintendent Wayne Kelder, and Town Clerk Veronica Sommer.
