That is amazing, I have only 14, hope to head back to visit with a friend that just retired as Surveyor with NY Forest Service.
Lot's of good memories
Rickey O'Shannessy from Massena, mom's homemade coffee brandy
Bell and Midnight, a Belgian Mare and her 2 year old half Percheron foal that I skid logs with, on a double tree
Dorm was a WWII barrack one year and the Kellogg's Corp. retreat house another.
Crossing the Quad, the old Drill/Parade field at 5am going to cafeteria to cook, thermometer reading 44 below, and winds blowing 30-35 mph.
Meeting some of the locals that were German Prisoners of War from WWII that stayed rather than returning to Germany. Learning how they got passes to stay with a local family to help with chores when crops needed planting or harvesting
Beautiful Country, with Amazing History
Take Care Paul, Have a Safe Day......Ray
