Kendal Trip to the Old Dutch Church
One of the new “quick trips” had Kendalites visiting one of Sleepy Hollow’s treasures: the Old Dutch Church, founded around 1685. A docent provided information and insights into the structure, which is still in the warmer months of the year, and its history. The church burial yard (as opposed to Sleepy Hollow cemetery) was also on the agenda.

Recently, Philip Monteleoni took (former) ace airman Bill Lyons and Carol Lyons to visit the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome. The Aerodrome, a living museum in Red Hook, New York, owns many examples of airworthy aircraft of the pioneer era, World War I, and the Golden Age of Aviation between the World Wars. Philip used to volunteer there, so he and the Lyons had a royal welcome.
Bill had thoughtfully brought a present for them, a large poster of his WWII Mustang fighter plane, which was well-received.
At the Aerodrome, Bill and Carol were able to inspect—up close and personal—a beautiful and exact replica of The Spirit of St. Louis, the plane Charles Lindbergh famously flew solo across the Atlantic, New York to Paris, in 1927.
