It must have to do with changing borders over time. Hoosick is now in Rensselear County, NY, not Albany County, which is adjacent. Pownal is still in Bennington Coutny, Vt. The Pownal and Hoosick are less than 1/2 hour apart. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eve" <grogan@maui.net> To: <cookis@earthlink.net> Sent: Saturday, September 02, 2000 5:35 PM Subject: PML Search Result matching Hoosick > ============================================================ > A result of your requested PML search.
