Rebuilding the Girl Scout Cabin

The Bronxville Girl Scout cabin burned down on Christmas day, and sadly it remains a charred hulk on the village-owned Maltby Field. Except for the old stone fireplace, the cabin is beyond saving.
The cabin was a rustic gem. It was a place of long-lasting memories. Over the course of a generation, it wasa place for reunions, holiday parties, weddings and other events. In a village known for oppulence, the 77-year-old cabin stood out for its affordable accessibility.
Tomorrow’s column is about the cabin and Dorothy Brennan, a former village trustee, who nurtured its existence and has pledged to see it rebuilt.
Brennan will also be a guest on my live radio program, “High Noon,” which airs tomorrow at 12 on WVOX, 1460 AM. If you’re beyond the frequency, you can listen by logging onto www.wvox.com.
