Although rain was predicted for the morning, it was ok and seven of us arrived at the Quiet Cove parking lot for the walk. It was chilly with wind, access to the river was blocked and it looked like the paths near the parking area might be kind of soggy; so we opted to go directly to our second walk at the Culinary Institute. We covered quite a bit of ground on this very interesting campus. Most students were away on break but we did encounter a few.
Last week we welcomed new members Jean & Bob. This week we learned that, sadly, John W's wife passed away in March. Our sincere condolences to him.
Six of us enjoyed brunch at the Palace Diner in Poughkeepsie.
