With all the modern needs to work and ways to enjoy life, it may be easy to overlook  the "MA/NY" ways the Housatonic River "ConnecTs" states such as MA, NY and CT (especially now when many people have second homes in the rural parts in those three states). 
 
The impact of the Housatonic River on local communities and the historical roots of US-All (in America and beyond) have touched generations since the settling of our country.

With Korean Veterans being acknowledged more now, reflections on lessons to learn from history

From the Northwest Chatter FB group page (likely closed but with a few thousand members) I saw Brian Ohler shared a timely post with important details and insights about the Korean War veterans.

 Dear Marianne,
 
Just want to say how happy I am that you are able to do so much. I have many ideas on http://www.livfully.org I have shared and think we are on a similar path...mine a more localized, singular path and yours more universal. I have reached over 80K people through my posts in the past few years.
 
Remembering Kaelan Alexander Paton, our late teen son who helped save his friends from dangerous water and  whose memorial is on youtube, captures a lot of the 'tough stuff' in life with a hope to find more lessons, love and community-minded voluntary agreements to prevent harm
