We can all thank Alice for keeping our history alive and well

To the Editor:

A special thank-you for your wonderful essay on Alice Begley and her life and times. It was so well written and really captured what she was about.

A while back, she wrote a wonderful pamphlet on the historical markers in Guilderland that aided me immensely as I located and updated most of them.

She collaborated with Mary Ellen Johnson on the Guilderland history book. It was great to read Mary Ellen Johnson’s article on the circus train coming to Altamont also in your most recent issue. This was a very nice touch to the article on Alice.

We can all thank Alice for keeping our history alive and well.
