Efforts

The project is moving forward well now. I've been getting content from several sources. Much of which I have tried to upload to Blogger, but I've been having issues with that. Will try to get them onto youtube.com in the next day or so.

Next week, I will be meeting with Phillippa Ewing at the National Park Service and several teachers at FDR High School. I also need to get in touch with Dot Chenevert at the Hyde Park Farmers Market.

As always, I'm applying for funding to cover equipment costs. The New York State Council on the Arts Grant is due at the end of the month.

Friday

Friday was a busy day meeting with several people in Hyde Park -

Was first at the home of former town supervisor Nancy Alden. As a resource for historical material about Hyde Park, she has a vast knowledge. I will be meeting with her through out the year to talk further and view some of the material she holds.

Next, I met with Herb and Barbara Sweet at Cranberrys Cafe in Hyde Park. Herb passed along two dvd's worth of material that I need to look through from his collections. While Barbara passed on her ideas of who I should talk to further.

Barbara was also kind enough to walk over to meet Dot Chenevert at her floral shop. Dot organizes the Hyde Park Farmers Market, which takes place at the drive in. As it is Easter weekend, I'll be following up with Dot in the next few weeks.

Finally, I caught up with Greg Callahan at the Library to talk further. The library holds several files of images that relate to Hyde Park History. As a part of my efforts, I have promised to digitize those images for the Library.
