Glover Field

Sunday’s column was about a coming exhibit, “An Overlooked Hero” at St. Paul’s Church in Mount Vernon which will honor the contributions made by Col. John Glover in the American Revolution. Glover saved George Washington’s bacon more than once, but he really saved the day at Pell’s Point when he stopped the British from cutting off Washington’s army as it retreated to White Plains in October of 1776.
A reader got on my case today because I forgot to mention that Glover has been remembered in other ways. Glover Field in Pelham was named after him.
OK, happy now?
