An excellent fishing trip on 20 July 2019. We stayed at the Aspinwald Motel only 4 miles from the dock. Arose at 6 am, had breakfast had breakfast as the diner next door. Captain Fred was an excellent guide and handled all the dirty work. The Shady Lady was clean and comfortable for the 5 of us. Mary had had filled a huge cooler with sandwiches and Gatorade so we weer well fed and hydrated.

We took turns reeling them in. Mike and I were reeling at the same time and couldn't land them so we passed off to Paul and Josh. When they got them close to the boat, it was seen they they were tangled together. Captain Fred was able to land them both. Cory caught the largest one, 38 inches at 22 pounds.

H. Kenneth Green Family

A Green Family page has been added to Family Events. The Greens lived on Furnace street and worked at Westmoreland Malleable Iron, as did my grandfather Thomas Coyne and his brother Frank Coyne. My farther, Bernard, grew up there in a house across the street from the Greens.

My mothers sister, Elizabeth Ann Calkins married Ray Barron and his sister Joan married Pete Green.  I was at Westmoreland Central at the same time, but not class, as Dale.

The furnace is gone now, replaced by a basketball court.  Many home in the area used the burnt sand, or pickle, as fill around their houses. The bridge on Sucker Brook failed and was not replaced so Furnace Street is now a dead end but the entrance to the pool is halfway down on the left.

Rootsweb has finally put it back up and I have been able to access it. Several pages in the Family events section have been updated. Mostly the Overend and Others pages. I have taken over the Jefferson county Rootsweb list, nyjeffers, but it has almost no traffic. Several forwards from the Jefferson County Board have been sent for my approval as List Owner but I have never been able to preview them, so I refused them all. In the past, ie before the crash, posts to the county board were automatically forwarded to the list. Ancestry will not be bringing this feature back. Random boards, lucky me, are still receiving the notice of their existence but nothing can be done except to delete them. 2019 should be a busy year for the Thousand Island Chapter. Sons of the American revolution. The Pomeroy Foundation has granted us 9 roadside markers for Jefferson county. These will honor the veterans buried in there.
