Stephentown Town Board Meeting – Correction
by David Flint
It seems we were misinformed at last week’s Stephentown Town Board meeting about Helen Kenyon Johnson. Helen is indeed celebrating her 100th birthday on July 8, but it is not true as we reported that she worked at Sykes Store for many years. Paul Sykes informs us that it was her sister-in-law, Helen B. Kenyon, who was a long time employee of the store. Helen Kenyon Johnson was never employed at Sykes.
