Lake Huntington - April 28

Posted

I have to start off by saying I made a goof in my last column. Supervisor Gary Maas brought it to my attention that the Litter Pluck is NOT cancelled. The Litter Pluck will be rescheduled for another date.

When there are no events being held it is very hard to give you information on the Town. In the last few columns I was directing you to The Lake Huntington NY Facebook page hosted by Paul Genco. I got a Facebook message from Doreen Kraus telling me about The Villa Theresa. Doreen was friends with Theresa Jean Joseph (Gino) whose parents owned The Villa Theresa.

The Joseph family hosted one of the Narrowsburg High school Graduation Parties for the class of 1963. I called Doreen to ask her some questions and she said let me get my high school book. With phone in hand she walked up stairs to get the book and started telling me people who she graduated with. When she said Herman Esselman I had to ask was he as good looking back then as he is now and she said oh yes, I said Dottie is a lucky lady.

The Joseph Family gave a BBQ for the graduates and the steal band played calypso music. Doreen told me that in 2003 they had a class reunion and that was the last time she had seen Bud Umnik.

Being the nice person that I am, I gave Dottie Esselman a heads up that her husband was going to be in my column. Talking with Dottie she told me that Denis Jungblut, Sandy Nuttycombe, Jack Nearing, and Bud Umnik also graduated with Herman and Doreen. Dottie was not in the class but she was dating Herman on May 1 they will be married 55 years. Happy Anniversary.

There is also a page on facebook called Sullivan County New York Vintage Postcards and Historic Photographs. There are pictures of Wragge's Bowlng Alley in 1909, pictures of upper Lake Huntington and old pictures of Pete's Pub back in the day. It's very cool. Like I said before I love reading everyone's comments.

Louis Vogel a Cochecton resident sent me a email telling me he is staying put in NYC and looks forward to my column, to read about the what's going on in The Lake Huntington News. I told Louis not much is going on everyone is staying home.

Every night at 7 p.m. in the parking lot at the Tusten Cochecton Library, cars gather to honk their horns or clap their hands as the church bell ring. This is a way to thank all those on the front line and all the essential workers that keep us going. Please stay safe.

My brothers got retested. Youngest brother negative and my oldest brother is still positive with the coronavirus.

Keep smiling and have a great week and you can e-mail me at leeniebeans@
