On May 11, 2024, Bovina Town Historian Ray LaFever hosted a panel of long time Bovina residents to share stories mainly of their childhoods from the 1940s and 1950s, supplemented/prompted by images taken at the time. Panelists included Marion Jardine, Patricia Thomas Parsons Miele, Marie Reinertsen Burns, Jack Burns, Jim Hilson, Chuck McIntosh, and Lauren Monroe. They talked about the last one room schools, the 1953 flood and the old Scott Bridge, among other topics. Over 70 people attended the program in person. All proceeds from the program were for the Bovina Historical Society’s museum.

We shared it via zoom and have now downloaded a recording at https://youtu.be/xJfxmsua72A. Please note that the zoom was supposed to include the images that were shared at the program but for some reason, they do not appear. To see these images, they have been posted on the Bovina NY History blog at https://bovinanyhistory.blogspot.com/2024/05/bovina-memories-program.html. Though the zoom video is not crystal clear, you’ll see and hear enough to learn a bit about Bovina in the 40s and 50s. Thank you to Marni Greenberg and Sangeeta Pratap for their help in allowing us to record this event.

BOVINA COMPREHENSIVE PLAN SURVEY

The deadline to complete the survey was February 9th. Thanks to the many Bovinians who took the time to complete it. The Delaware County Planning Department and the Comprehensive Plan Committee will be tabulating and reviewing the results of the survey over the next several months. We look forward to updating everyone on our progress.
