Those kind of surprises sure are unkind cuts, as Caesar would have them... Poughkeepsie's actually on my radar. Red Hook, NY as well. How 'bout that? Season's best, Kim

I grew up in Poughkeepsie/Hyde Park.

Christmas is a very emotional time and losing a loved one at that time is heartbreaking. Tom

Yes, his children forever heartbroken. Happened on my 16 year old Aunt’s birthday, a few days before Christmas.

I got it right that your grandpa died. We miss our old folks. Hugs.

He was so young. I was only 2. I’m nearly 60 more than that ;)
