Actively Adirondack

Success for a true North Country road warrior

January 26, 2010

I have a dear friend who grew up here on Keese Mills Road. Her dad was one of the first Paul Smith’s College graduates, and her uncle worked at the college when she and her siblings were kids. Back then her dad had a job at the state Department of Environmental Conservation in Ray Brook. Their house was about a mile down the road from mine. It had a log camp nearby that her parents rented out to hunters during hunting season. Her mom did laundry for some of the bigger nearby camps, and for Paul Smith’s students as well. When I go for walks with my friend, she points out where people used to live decades ago, who her friends were, where she and her brother played. We compare notes about where the best berries are now compared with where they were back in the 1950s, and how many houses are now gone. --- Starting in Malone My friend lives in Malone and has been teaching at Paul Smith’s College for some twenty plus years now.
