Thanks for the notice, Barbara. There was a nice article on Larry Hart in the Times-Union a couple of weekends ago; his son has written a book about him and was going to be doing a booksigning or two, but I don't remember where they were. Larry's columns and books are such a treasure for any of us with connections to Schenectady, recording hundreds of little observations about the Electric City over the last century that would otherwise have been lost. Such a shame to lose him.
