Hello my local history loving friends.  Big changes are coming in my life.  I am stepping down as Town Historian come the end of December, just a couple of weeks!  The Town Board gave me a nice send off this week with a lovely proclamation and many kind words about my work over the last 15 + years.

I will still be doing local history stuff, especially with the Bethlehem Historical Association.  And I will still be posting my history related thoughts here.  I've got lots of ideas for writing and researching, probably with some genealogy work thrown in. 

Honestly, I don't know what the bus picture is but I kind of like it!

And not to worry, the Town is busy interviewing candidates.  I am looking forward to seeing how the new Historian makes the job their own.  As Allison Bennett once told me, its time for someone else to have fun with it.

And for some more fun, here are some pictures of me from back in the day doing history things. 

Me and Ron Selkirk, I think this was 2009.
