March 2025
~Carol Schweizer
The February program, presented by member Alan Maddaus, was about the crash
of a B 47 jet in the High Peaks of the Adirondacks. It was quite a surprise that we
had several guests from beyond Galway—Melrose, Rock City Falls, Ballston Lake,
Gloversville and Broadalbin! They were all very interested in hearing Alan’s
program. It was an interesting presentation, and while it was technical, it was easy
to understand. Kudos to Julie Hoxsie who provides our publicity.
There have been many accolades to Theresa Ferguson and her February article
about “Winter Memories” from around 1934. Alan Maddaus was inspired by
Theresa, and possibly our request for members to write of memories from the
past. In this newsletter, Alan shares a story he wrote many years ago about a
winter experience he will always remember.
The March program will be presented by Charlene DuBuque, Education Director at
Saratoga County Historic Center. “Passing the Time in Victorian Saratoga County”
is about social activities, entertainment, fashion, soirees, fairs, church socials, all
that shaped leisure time then and influenced how we spend our free time today.
Hope you can join us on Monday, March 3 at 7:00 pm at Galway Town Hall.
