At Your Service, by Beatriz Roman

Wednesday, July 16, 7 pm

At Your Service is an introduction to the McFerson family and their

contributions to the African-American traveler and worker in our community, and it also presents information on services J1 students perform and their requirements to work in this region.

McFerson was born in 1934 and died in 2005, originally living in Glens Falls with her parents, Samuel and Dorothy. The family home on Sanford Street was listed in The Green Book, a guide to food and hotel accommodations

for Blacks during the mid-20th century to assist them in finding safe dining and lodging during racial and civil discrimination in America.

Beatriz Roman, of Queensbury, is the author of recently-published The Shoulder Rider: A Storyteller’s Tale about famed local librarian Shirley McFerson, also known as “Sweet MamaString Bean.” The Shoulder Rider is available from the Warren County Historical Society.

The Bolton Free Library presents 

Reflecting on Lake George Reflections, with Ginger Henry Kuenzel

Thursday, July 17, 6:30 pm

Ginger Henry Kuenzel will relate the fascinating story of how she first met Frank Leonbruno at the Bolton Library in 1995, an encounter that led to an enduring friendship and eventually the publication of the book Lake George Reflections. Ginger will also share some of the more quirky facts and lore that Frank collected about the islands.

Originally from Whitehall, Frank came to Bolton with the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1935. In 1941, he landed a job with the NY State Department of Conservation (later DEC), where he remained for his entire career, culminating in his role as Supervisor of Lake George Operations.

Ginger, a native of Hague, had been living in Germany for much of her adult life and had just recently returned to the area when she met Frank. The two collaborated on a series of columns for The Chronicle newspaper in Glens Falls, which were later collected in Lake George Reflections. First published in 1998, this book has become an indispensable addition to the bookshelves of all fans of Lake George.

An epic and intimate comedy that spans over billions of years, boom explores the influences of fate versus randomness in the course of one’s life. During his research on a deserted tropical island, Jules discovered strange patterns among the behavior of fish that seemed to portend a premature end to most forms of earthly life. So Jules has turned his tiny lab-cum-apartment into a place to wait out the disaster and begin remaking humanity…but who will join him?

Written by Peter Sinn Nachtrieb, Directed by Gabrielle Schutz, Performed by Jameson Batt, Laura Farrell, and Abby Swint.

Tickets and more info HERE.
