Goldie Award Goes To Brennan of Bronxville

Today I have revived the Goldie Award, which was created last year to honor community activists—selfless, tenacious people who have a mission to do good and hold their elected officials’ feet to the fire. The award is named after Goldie Solomon, a Port Chester firebrand….See the little statue? That’s Goldie in the Revolutionary War-era garb of Thomas Paine.
The latest Goldie recipient is Dorothy Brennan, who is featured in today’s column in The Journal News and will be guest in just a few minutes on my WVOX radio program, “High Noon.” (1460-Am and www.wvox.com).
For 24 years, Dorothy has fought hard to preserve and manage the fabled Girl Scout cabin in Bronxville, a place for family and community events. The cabin was destroyed in a Christmas Eve fire, but Dorothy has vowed to rebuild it, and no doubt she will succeed!

Phil, they spelled your name “Resiman” next to your picture in the upper right corner. Oh well, NYT it ain’t!
I played many a gig with my band “The Esquires” in the old B-ville Girlscout cabin. Somebody oughtta check & see if Ginsburg development has any plans for that partikular patch’o’grass. (It never burned for 80 years….. why now?)
Phil great article but on correction. Albany law school is affiliated with Union college, a private institution, not SUNY Albany. It is a common mistake.
