After spending a full month at Columbia Memorial Hospital, where I seem, as a patient, to have proved the truth of Murphy's Law, I'm back at home, at my computer, poised once again to resume Gossips news and commentary about Hudson. Anecdotes from my extended stay at the hospital may find their way into Gossips posts over the next few weeks, but for now I have nothing but good things to say about the nursing staff who took care of me during those endless days and nights of being a patient.
It will take a while for Gossips to get back up to speed, but in the meantime, this morning's recommended reading is Sam Pratt's post about the notorious history of the Girls' Training School--now the site of the Hudson Correctional Facility--which appeared on his blog yesterday: "Cigar stumps, careless tongues, secret cemeteries, slave labor & South Bay."
Happy New Year !!!

ReplyDeleteWe were worried Carol, and did not know where to turn to find out news about where you had gone. I.e. Gossips would have told us but Gossips was Gone! Welcome back

ReplyDeleteWelcome back, Carole! And, I hope, William, too. Lulu and I missed you. Despite commendable efforts by others, there is nothing like Gossips.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back Carole. We missed your insightful reporting, especially in the area of historic preservation.
