SUMMIT -  1940's-50 Charlotteville Hotel- Charlotte Valley & Baptist Church Rd

Do you have everything all set for winters arrival; hose put away, lawn mower stored, screens off and garden trimmed up. Most of the leaves are off the trees and blown into the woods.

Finally got the wood stove going which feels real nice but it has to be fed, of course.

Took down the Halloween decorations to be replaced by the few Thanksgiving decorations.

I was voter # 127 of 316 voters on election day. There are 871 total registered voters in Summit and 21,492 in Schoharie County.

In January we will have new members of our town government: supervisor Roger Gural, council members Mark Hearon and David Knight and town clerk Katie Mohr. Continuing as council members, that were not up for election, are Georgia VanValkenburgh and David Kearney.

It was almost fun to buy gas in Worcester for only $2.93 per gallon.

So sad to find out that Fern M. Kovac, age 85, of Bear Gulch Road died at home on Halloween. She was born in Glen Cove, NY to Dwight L. and Lillian “Lollie” M. (Fearns) Seaton and lived in Summit since 1953. She was a town councilperson.

I believe the car in the Charlotteville Hotel photo is a 1948-49 Hudson?
