Kendal On Hudson's Bimonthly Journal

As we start a new year of publishing this magazine, we are struck once again by the diversity of what we cover: the interesting people, activities we participate in, past experiences that define us. We begin this issue with the names of early settlers from local surroundings, with data supplied by a local Historical Society and edited by Edith Litt. Muriel Fox (and three residents) then offer praise to the Director of the Wellness Center. And thanks to Norman Sissman, we also focus on four residents who are relatively unsung. Doris Eder describes an interview with Luis Javier, the affable host of the Bistro and FDR. Pat Taylor goes on to describe the sixteen years that Jan Myers served on Kendal’s Trips Committee, with an additional two pages of superb photographs of some of the 36 trips taken in 2022. Next, Lynn Clague tells us how he found his career as a poet, followed by an example of his talent. The issue comes full circle with two articles that look back: one to the elementary school days of Martin Smolin and the other to the attempts of Hubert Herring to be (or not to be) an actor.

The four covers of this issue were selected and processed by Arthur Brady. He took the cover shot on a cold, sunny day in Kingsland Point Park. The inside front cover, a pond in the woods at the Marshlands Conservatory in Rye, is by Richard Schneeman. His terrace was the locus for the photo of ice on the Hudson that Harry Bloomfeld took for the inside back cover. And Arthur Brady caught the back cover’s other-worldly view at the Corning Glass Museum in Corning, NY.

Unless otherwise specified, inside photographs are by Arthur Brady.
