He is deceased now. The Brownells owned a car dealership in Beacon. The jingle went: "There's no unhappy owners, at Brownell motors." I'm not sure if they still own the dealership. Lossees are all over Dutchess County. The Vincents were mainly located in Dover Plains in Harlem Valley, eastern part of Dutchess county. Now they also live in Poughkeepsie. Someone toldme that the Vincents were originally from Long Island. I don't associate any of these names with northern Dutchess or the Rhinebeck area. I've never heard of the Bedford name in Dutchess county, but that doesn't mean they didn't live here. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
