Upper Delaware River Litter Sweep

MILANVILLE - Walking along the road to Damascus from an agreed upon starting point of the Milanville General Store on a beautiful spring day. Our only mission: Bagging things on the ground that do not belong there. The initial Damascus Township litter sweep kicked off a series of similar Upper Delaware Council events on April 16th held in various locations along the river corridor. Pictured: Volunteer coordinator Evan Padua, who represents Tusten on the UDC; his father Michael Padua of Tyler Hill; UDC member Jeffrey Dexter representing Damascus; retired NPS supervising ranger Don Hamilton; Jill Padua and Tom Rue of Narrowsburg.

What's this page?

Welcome to my front page. I am restoring and organizing available online material into a more accessible database that indexes both this Drupal website and also the static elements of my earlier webserver's directory structure dating back to 1996 and before. A work in progress, it will remain a creative and expressive outlet, as it has in the past, and a place to post information that I consider worthy of note and of possible public interest. Play nice in the sandbox and reach out here to share what you wish. Thank you.
