I wish to correct an error in the meeting notice for The Friends of the Old Forge Library, Inc.
The location should have read “the Judith Lowenstein Cohen Memorial wing of the Old Forge Library.”
The Cohen home was built by Moses A. Cohen and later donated to the library by A. Richard and Judith Cohen, and the family was instrumental in the construction of the addition that bears his Judith’s name.
We are sorry for the confusion and any distress to the family of Muriel Cohen.
My apologies for the error.

Contractors and property owners need to get things in the ground pretty soon if they expect to beat the snow.
