But there was a time at which moving to the Boiceville, NY area, which is where the <i>Onteora Indians</i> once lived, was a possibility.<br /><br />There's a story behind that episode that I haven't time to tell just now. Soon, I promise.Francis W.

My wife and I have known each ...Good for you, Fran. My wife and I have known each other for over 36 years, but only married for the last 21, after a prior marriage for both of us.<br /><br />I am glad you are leaving that area. I have very fond memories of the places I lived and frequented on both shores of Long Island, including graduating from high school in Port Jeff. Considering what I have garnered from your writings concerning your political conservatism and your religious life (I am a lapsed Catholic who took First Communion and Confirmation there on Long Island), I feel certain you would be much happier outside of New York State. In spite of how beautiful are so many parts of upstate NY - like "Onteora" and the Catskills.<br /><br />You may not decide to "go Galt" as I have (to a great extent) here in the mountains of MT, but I wish you the best of luck, happiness, and what peace of mind may attend finding a place to live that will lessen the blows we face from what America has become. The Mountain States have much to offer, even if Ben Raines was unable to hold the Tri-State area together for as long as he would have liked. Johnstone's _Out of the Ashes" series, and Rawles _Patriots_ series picked this neck of the woods for some good reasons.<br /><br />Take care,<br />RegReg Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14099612693763932005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6557458849091969678.post-80253152449355392182015-07-05T19:18:50.609-04:002015-07-05T19:18:50.609-04:00Excellent project in Catholics Alone.
