Thank You, DAR

The Hendrick Hudson Chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution has honored me with its Community Service Award, primarily for nearly ten years of reporting the news of Hudson and sharing its rich history on The Gossips of Rivertown. The award was presented in ceremony this past Monday at the DAR Chapter House on Warren Street.

It's a rare and wonderful thing when something you began doing for the simple joy of doing it is considered meritorious and worthy of recognition. I am deeply honored and grateful to the members of the DAR for acknowledging my efforts in this way.
