Alice Badger Lewis. Class of 1967. Ft. Mc Coy, Florida Fall in Florida is still very wet. Nothing compared to the fall foliage in north east...
Mary Ann McMorris Bassett 1962 September 25th was our 50th wedding anniversary. Fall leaves is why we chose Sept. my pictures have now faded to black and white w/ no beautiful color from my parents front door. Really miss fall. We had planned to go to Savannah Ga to meet June Johnson Lawrence (who was my Maid of honor) BUT the weather wasn't sounding good and still isn't now BUT we'll meet on October 14th. June and I used to walk all over Cambridge in the fall because of all the colored leave to kick around. North Caroling color is all in the mountains, But very surprised to get McIntosh apples in NC mountains ,but not AS GOOD as VERMONT's See everyone in July !

Autumn is my favorite time of year;apples,pumpkins,blue skies and
maple leaves.|| But oh, the beach walks are nice too!
RICHARD McLenithan--CLASS OF 1960--Queensbury New York-- Growing up on a farm on State Route 313 I loved the fall weather and the colors that the change in weather brought. For me it was the best time of the year.
Peggy McMahon McLenithan Class of 1985 - Cambridge, New York The
fall draws people from all over the world and it is one of the most
beautiful times of year here in the Northeast. I have a new job this
year working at Hoosac school in Hoosick, New York and the beauty is
incredible. Attaching a photo of the Tibbits Mansion with some
student outside enjoying the day. Tibbits Mansion was the summer
home, and now it is the girl's dorm and Administrators' offices.
Tim Kamper, Class of 1964, Pheonix AZ We
were at Yellowstone 2 weeks ago and experience early winter at 9000
feet. Yes, that is Old Faithful and it was just about freezing with
snow accumulation that night.
Susan Everall Bialac Class of 1974 Betty Jeskie White, Class of '55, Greenwich, NY
We were at our camp in Arllington, VT this weekend. Some of the trees on 313 are starting to change, but not much color yet. In another week or so it will be a beautiful ride. At our home in Greenwich, the place across the street has a lot of nice maples, so we are treated to some beautiful fall colors. No change as yet. I like to decorate with mums and pumpkins, a few hay bales and also a few Halloween decorations in the mix.
October 26, 1957 is my favorite fall memory from Cambridge. That was the beautiful sunny but cool day that Glen White ('57) and I were married at St. Patricks and our wedding reception was at the wonderful old Hotel Cambridge. Such a happy day with friends and family, almost 58 years ago.

I'd like to thank you for posting the news of the Kayaking4Meso event on Sept. 12th and also for Bill Hastings and Anne Brownell Trinkle for attending. I don't know either of these folks but sure appreciate their participation and support. I was able to attend but not kayak. We had a pontoon boat to enjoy the day. There were over 150 paddlers completing the event and it was a great day. It was tough on me as I had expected but I was glad to be able to be there. I am going through chemo now and just found to have a blood clot in my jugular vein but I am hanging in there!! I have been blessed to have wonderful doctors, friends and family to support me. This is my second fight with this and the type I have is known as peritoneal mesothelioma which occurs in one's abdomen and has a 1-2% survival rate. As Bill noted it is due to asbestos exposure and the purpose of the kayaking event is not only to raise awareness and support other survivors. Thank you for all the prayers!!
Thanks again to all who have contributed!! Looking forward to hearing from a lot more of you real soon! Also hope you will enjoy the new page on the website. www.ccsindians.com Pauline
