Cool! I grew up just southwest of Albany, and hung out as far south as Woodstock (the real one) and worked in Fleischmanns, Phoenecia, and all those places as a boot phone man back in the 60's.

I can promise you, all of the stupidity that hits the news coming out of NY, I never witnessed any of it. I grew up with mob families, federal undercover officers and their families, and ex-military.

It still works that way.Skiprr wrote:
