I saw Kristen Strohmeyer at "Roc's," yesterday, and she told me that "There really is Spring! It's in Savannah!" When I got home I took a minute in the sunny outdoors to look and - there they were - signs of Spring right here in Whiskey Hollow!

Snowdrops.

Both Mrs. Manion and her Madison Street neighbor, Mrs. Lloyd, have Spring wreaths on their front doors.

There's forsythia at the Nasypanys,

a bright Summer hat on W. Bacon Street,

and Mrs. Park is ready for St. Patrick's Day.

It won't be long before Hepaticas bloom next to this Fuess Cleary Road tree,
and Roc told me that "Soft Serve" would be ready within the next two weeks, although he wasn't sure when the "window" would open.

This nice note from Lori Meszler was in my morning mail:

"I was reading the blog this morning and saw the note from Florida about Adonal Foyle. When we lived in Sherburne he paid a visit to the elementary school while he was a student at Colgate. That must have been when Patrick was in 1st or 2nd grade. I talked to Patrick today and amazingly enough he remembered the visit.(Although Foyle's 6'10" hight might also have something to do with it!) I wasn't at the school that day, but from feedback from kids and teachers he was an inspiration. You might think he would talk only basketball (Foyle was only 19 or 20 and a rising star at the time), but his focus was on how important his education was to him. Check out Adonalfoyle.com. There's a really nice bio that puts it both stories in perspective."

Thanks, Lori!

And a huge Thanks! too, to Bill Strohmeyer, the owner/president of BusinessWare Consulting, who has taken the time to copy to a hard disk everything on the disk sent to me by Tom Tyrniski: that's ALL of The Waterville Times - in digitized, searchable format. Now we can get copies to the Library and the Historical Society and anyone else who wants one. (I'll get space/disk requirements from Bill - they're quite large!) All of the information should be appearing on Mr. Tryniski's website soon, too, and I'll keep you updated on that!
