Yesterday, July 16th, marked the 50th Anniversary of Apollo 11!
Where were you?
"'Liftoff. We have a liftoff. 32 minutes past the hour. Liftoff on Apollo 11."
50 years ago #now, Apollo 11 launched and began its historic journey to the Moon. In addition to those watching at NASA's Kennedy Space Center, an estimated 25 million Americans watched the live TV broadcast which was transmitted to a total of 33 countries on 6 continents."

Despite Tuesday being the calm before the storms that have moved in, it still brought the surprise of a down tree for those on the St. Bernard's property. That was later followed by a small gas leak. The staff were grateful for the quick response of Hutchings Tree Service, the Village of Waterville, and NYSEG.

Pam passed away in February 2019
