One day last week I had the pleasure of meeting Yisroel Kreitman. He said, “I read your column”, I said “do you like it?” he said “oh yes,” we hugged, he has such a cute giggle. I spent some time atThe Narrowsburg farmers market and met Amy Schoen who came up to me and asks, “Do you write the Lake Huntington News, I really enjoy reading your column.”

With Thanksgiving coming up, I am truly thankful for my readers.
