Dear Carole,

If you are able to add them to your Newsletter, I thought the 2 photos attached might be of interest to the readers. They show the beautiful Curtisville Bridge stone arch construction…before and after.

Thank you,

Dear Carole,

Thank you once again for your invaluable update. The news about our town and lake is depressing. The committees seem dysfunctional and out of touch. We love Stockbridge and the Bowl, but we are fearful for their and our future. Thanks for keeping us connected.

Regards,

Wayne & Nancy Alpern

Carole,

Again, thank you for supporting the SBAs 75th celebrations with your listing of our upcoming Beach Island Day. It’s a pleasure having your support as a well-read voice in our community.

Best,

Laurie Englander Dubner and Rick Rubin, Co-chairs

Dear Carole,

Love reading the “updates”. Photos are exquisite and info not only articulated well, but informative. Makes me really feel what’s going on. Thank you, Waldorf School.

Hi Carole:

I realize I am on your mailing list twice with two different email addresses. Please remove xxx but please make sure you keep xxx because I would not survive without Stockbridge Updates and all the important information you give us!

Thank you!

Stephanie

Dear all,

Thank you for the kind words — how nice you all are!

Carole

Dear Carole,

I dont know if this will translate well to SU but this Tiny fort was found up on the hill, right in the same spot where I saw a WHITE WALKER TURKEY. I am looking for the person/being that built the fort.

To inform without opinion or pressure and give the people of Stockbridge the facts they need to make informed decisions.

Stockbridge Updates Policy with Respect to Submissions

SU welcomes your letters and other submissions on all Stockbridge subjects, history and current events, news and human interest, whatever is on your mind. As with articles and opinion pieces, letters are 400 words or less, no personal attacks, and always attach your name. SU does not include personal information and will delete telephone numbers, email addresses, post office boxes, and street addresses. Limit one submission per month.

Stockbridge Updates: Format

SU is attempting to present a consistent format for readers. SU begins with its Table of Contents. The SU Editorial is next and then the News. News is divided between one-time events, such as the election and events around town, and recurring reporting, such as the Notes from… section. It is called Notes from… because SU attends the town meetings, takes notes, and reports what happened. If SU has a comment or question, it is at the end of the meeting identified as Editor’s Comment or Editor’s Question. The next section is Contributors. Under contributors, you may find Stockbridge history, opinion pieces, or information from a Committee Chair or elected official. Our final section is Reader to Reader, our letter section. The issue closes with the SU Statement of Purpose and Policy for Contributors. We welcome all letter writers and contributors; deadline on the 10th for the issue posted on the 15th of the month and on the 26th for the issue posted on the first.

Your Submissions Welcome!

Submit comments, opinion pieces, and letters to the editor to carole@stockbridgeupdates.com
