On the way to Bob’s…..

Attended a marketing workshop at the library. This one given by staff from MHLS. Biggest surprise was to hear from folks at RoeJan Library that they only raise 30% of the funds from taxes!!

Architecture Lecture at Bard

Dr. Jenny Shaffer presented a lecture entitled “Harnessing the Past to Create the Present: The Multiple Lives of Charlemagne’s Chapel at Aachen, ca. 800-2019″. Lecturer is friends with Ted and Anne. Interesting for its traversal of so much European history.

J. L. Edwards School building

While waiting for the race to get started I walked around this noe empty building. It looks quite small at street level. But it is in fact a four story 1960s concrete pile. May become Hudson city hall and other uses.
