Blizzard of 2010

New York has received over 20 inches of snow in the past few days. I was on the Davis campus this morning and snapped a few pictures of the snow that has been covering the campus.

A snow covered Campus

With Spring on the way I should be posting pictures of the campus in bloom, but I thought this picture was quite nice. It was in the inside cover of the 1954 Theologue. The snow is covering the Main Building of the campus. Unfortunately the crease makes the picture a little off. Maybe I will post some spring images of the campus soon.

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow

The snow is coming down in Johnson City, NY and all over the campus of Davis College today. It is a winter wonderland. I know many students enjoy going down on the knoll and sled down it. What memories do Alumni have of playing in the New York winter on the campus of PBTS?

What memories do you have of winters at PBTS?

What are some memories Alumni have of winters on the campus of PBTS and PBC? This is picture of the snow that covered the grounds on December 2, 2007. There are a few pictures in the post I did from the scan Mrs. Krooswyk gave me. I would love to hear some stories about the winter memories on this campus or any other memories of your time spent of the campus. There is much history to bring to the light.

Update: Presidential interviews are going well. Final stage for the writing of questions for Dr. Linebaugh's interview this week.

The New York Winter has arrived at Davis College

While I continue to work on the Presidential interviews I thought I would upload a picture of some of the snow on the campus. Early Sunday morning we received around 4 inches of the powder. This is a picture of the entrance sign this evening.

Last week I did my interview with Dr. Woodrow Kroll and it went very well. The whole interview was 2 hrs and 15 minutes in length. This coming week I have my interview with Dr. Dale Linebaugh. I hope to have the write-up about Dr. Kroll's interview on the blog this coming Friday. The write-up for Dr. Linebaugh will happen soon after the interview. I am still accepting questions for Dr. Linebaugh and Dr. Miller if anyone has any stories about them.

Some images of PBTS in the 1930s

This is a scan of a photocopy that Mrs. Eleanor Krooswyk (1937) let me borrow. It shows some images of the campus during the winter months and the flood that happened in 1935. Looks a lot like the flood of 2006. 70 year flood??? I love seeing the old cars in these pictures. Some great images and memories of years gone past.

Winters of old have returned to Davis College

I have heard many stories of the winters of old. Snow that would go up to the power/telephone lines. Banks of snow that would keep you indoors for days on end. Well the snow at Davis College might not be up to those standards, but we do have about 2 feet of snow if not more on the ground. Here is a picture of the snow on the campus.
