A picture worth a thousand words

The Staddon Field issue seems finally to have been resolved.

Local citzen said...: My question is, who else had really shown interest in that property? Especially, at that price? I honestly do not think the School Corp could have found anyone else to come close to that price. It is nice to help the kids, but it is the JASPER Foundation allocating the funding and not the RENSSELAER foundation. So, will there be similar donations for Remington, Wheatfield, and DeMotte? I think it is great for the kids, but we need to consider the funding source, unless it was money bequeathed by an individual for projects just like this. If so, kudos to that individual and the Foundation might want to make mention of that so others like me do not raise similar questions.; September 19, 2015 at 7:09 AM

Contacting Rensselaer Adventures

To contact Rensselaer Adventures, send e-mail to rensselaeradventures at yahoo.com. (I put the @ in there originally, and of the first eight messages I received, four were the Nigerian scam and three told me I won a lottery I never entered. Maybe this change is already too late.)

If you want to comment on any specific post, (adding information or correcting a mistake I made) please use the comment area that is available on each post. That way everyone will get to see what you think, not just me.

I would love to hear from you if you have ideas of things I can write about. Even better, if you want to contribute something, I will consider it.

I will not check this address every day, so be patient. (And I almost never check my messages on Facebook, so it you send something there, the odds are that I will not see it for weeks or months.)

Also, I encourage and appreciate comments that are informative or entertaining. However, I delete comments that I think are offensive or inappropriate (which includes spam--I delete a lot of spam).
