Hey Russ, This is Marilyn from Oswego, NY. I can't believe this. I lived in Woodbridge at 803 Ocaquan Rd. back in 1961. I was a new bride and worked at the Drug Fair for a bit then Jim's Place. My husband was in the military at Ft. Belvoir where we were married. I hear it is all built up now. Now to the meat of this. I guess Barb will keep her title but she will not be in the record center. If I am right it is mandated by law in NY State to have a historian for each community. but like you said she is an important asset to our community. I don't know why we can't do away with the cable TV for the ones in the jail. there must be someplace else to cut rather than the lifes blood of research.
