From 1970-1978 we rented the Fall Hill house from Alice. It was a very happy, special time living there---being entrusted with the house, the yard, the garden. Exploring the barns. Our three then-young children loved the house and the surrounding area. Alice, Katie, and Evalyn became good friends, as well as sharing the history of the house and the area. Alice was amused that Dick turned the small music room (complete with piano), into a workshop. I taught a nursery school in the "playroom". Alice was very apologetic when she had to raise our rent to $100/month. Dick and I visited Alice in Mohawk several years ago when we were in the area --- and David, Andy, and Anne have each stopped at the house when passing through the Mohawk Valley. It was not as large as they remembered. It was a privilege to know Alice and be counted among her friends. A wonderful lady who enriched our lives.
