by Kieron Kramer
The family of Raymond E. Calhoun of Hoosick, who died on July 9, 2012, entered the well of the Rensselaer County Legislature on Tuesday, September 11, to be presented with a copy of the resolution passed last month that honored their patriarch. The presentation was made to the Calhoun family by District 5 Legislators Stan Brownell and Lester Goodermote, who represent the towns of Stephentown, Berlin, Petersburgh, Grafton, Hoosick and the Village of Hoosick Falls. It was clear from their comments that there is even more to the Ray Calhoun story than what was included in August’s resolution.
