Dear Editor,
I speak for our Board of Directors and the 240 people who live and work in Camphill Village, many of whom are adults with developmental disabilities and offer a heartfelt thank you to the volunteer firefighters who helped us on Feb. 13.
It was 3 am on a Sunday morning when the alarm went out. Fighting a fire that burned our Garden Shed and workshop to the ground was dangerous and challenging with the ice and snow….remaining cheerful and dedicated is another.
Many of the firefighters were still on the scene twelve hours later. A nicer and more dedicated group of people can’t be found – they mentioned that it was “nothing”, “all in the line of duty”, “our pleasure”. We applaud the volunteers from the Ancram, Copake, Craryville, Hillsdale, and Taghkanic departments for their unfailing assistance and willingness to help as volunteers.
We especially thank Chief John DeRoche of the Copake Fire Company #1.
With sincere appreciation,
Robert G. Norris
President, Board of Directors
Camphill Village USA, Inc.
