Both were filmed on location at Lyndhurst and Sleepy Hollow and starred some of our attending guests, who will discuss and reminisce about their experiences.
*** A PERSONAL NOTE FROM SG EDITOR MARCY ROBIN
A few weeks ago, I had a recurrence of one of the major health issues that have challenged me for 4+ years. I required emergency surgery and a limited-activities recovery period. I’m steadily improving and getting back to normal. My next post-operation appointment is shortly before the Fest Weekend. My superb doctors and surgeon are pleased with my progress. They anticipate I can travel to Tarrytown, perform my various Fest staff responsibilities, and enjoy everything and everybody.
My tremendous thanks go to Kathy Resch during this time. She’s handled sending out these Updates, which I composed and reviewed with her. She apologizes that she inadvertently left off Chris Pennock’s name on the guest list in Update #322.
Kathy’s helped with my email too. I know what people wrote to me and she typed my replies. She’s also helped with my postal-mail correspondence. Her hard work – and everyone’s patience and understanding – are very much appreciated.
