Altamont library story swap — Program of the Year Award

A year ago, story time at the Altamont library took on a new meaning when residents gathered to share memories from generations' past. This week's podcast is a rerun of that session in honor of the Altamont Free Library, under the direction of Joe Burke, winning the Program of the Year Award from the Upper Hudson Library System. Three women with the longest memories — Carol Dubrin; Jean Hungerford Krull, who came with her daughter, Kristin; and Mary Hughes with her daughter, Meg — told tales that stretched back generations. Ron and Lois Ginsburg shared memories from the last half-century as did Mary Elario. Ellen and Dick Howie came not just with their own stories but with some from Newt Ronan, too. The tapestry their voices wove portrays a village that was at once self-sufficient while its residents depended upon one another Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
