And while we suspect that most of what is written specifically about Cooperstown revolves around baseball, this summer we have noted several articles about Cooperstown which emphasize that there is more to Cooperstown than baseball.

Alberta Bowes asked us about a week after the little piece about Erastus ran if we had heard anything else about it. We said we hadn’t although we thought Erastus’ nephew still lived in Fly Creek.

However, this year, as part of our Do Nothing Day, we paid not a whit of attention to the goings on.

The one which was established on the north side of Main Street, running east from in front of CVS, was originally in effect 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Unfortunately, in the process, we seem to have overlooked two more places where one can dine outdoors while overlooking the lake.

Our ability to stand or walk for any length of time has been seriously curtailed. We no longer can stand up straight.

Paul A. Clark, son of Joan P. Clark and the late Gerald E. Clark, former mayor of the Village of Cooperstown, married Mary Claire Majka of Whitesboro, N.Y. on June 7 at St. Mary’s Church.

The weather was delightful and the spring was in great glory as we traveled from stop to stop. And, of course, the food that was partaken en route met our every expectation.

In many ways, we always felt that June was the embodiment of that which is Cooperstown.

It simply does not seem possible this task is once again upon us.
