As typical, remembering to post to the blog is not my forte. So many things have been taking place in the last month that I don't know where to begin.
I have been talking quite extensively with Pasty Costello of the Hyde Park Historical Society. Her knowledge of Hyde Park, past and present, is significant and I hope to be working with them more in the next few weeks. I understand that there is a file full of photos that need to be archived and I hope to help with that effort.
Last week I spoke with Steven Mann and Stephanie Mauri at the Dutchess County Historical Society. In talking with them, I got a understanding of Hyde Park and Staatsburg as it relates to Dutchess County. They have also are willing to provide support and put me in touch with their members. I look forward to this association.
Finally, this past Saturday was my first day at the Hyde Park Farmers Market. I will now be spending my Saturday mornings meeting and talking with people there instead of at the Library. This will be a much more public way of connecting with the community.

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.
