I asked Don Rittner just now, he being about the closest person Troy has to a City Historian since Mayor Rosamilia continues to refuse to comply with the state law that absolutely requires him to appoint an official City Historian. When one is a public official apparently compliance with laws is optional, Oaths of Office notwithstanding. It certainly would explain a lot.

Incidentally, my late father had been director of the computer center at HVCC prior to his moving on to SUNY system administration. I remember visiting the computer center when I was a kid - big computers, large sheets of green and white computer paper with holes in the sides for the printers’ paper feeders. “John Philippo, 51.” Albany Times Union.
