This answer may turn out to be longer than you ever expected (or wanted)!

So, I'm currently vacationing in Maine. I met a young family and they asked where I was from. I told them Delaware and asked the same of them. They said "upstate New York." I already had a feeling when I asked what town. The wife was a graduate of Shendehowa; the husband, nearby. I wowed them with my knowledge of the area.

 

I was born in East Harlem, and moved to Long Island. The extended journey began in 1969 visiting a friend in Round Lake. He worked for Shenendehowa Schools, eventually running the Boces program. In 1971, another friend's family opened the Cabin in the Pines restaurant  on 9N in Lake Vanare right across from Kastner's Cabins. My future wife and I worked at the Painted Pony Dude Ranch. Their son, my friend, soon started the Stony Creek Band. They just had a 50th anniversary concert & celebration at Caffe' Lena's in the Springs. My wife's best friend in high school bought the Stoney Creek in and still runs it today.

My visits to Round Lake would take me to the Van Patten golf course. I guess it's still there. My visits to the Lake Luzerne area also continued.

 

In 1978, I had a career choice to make. I wanted to leave Long Island and had a choice of teaching postions in Fairfax County, VA, or Shenendehowa where my friend worked. I selected Virginia because most of my wife's family had relocated there.

 

In 1980, the Clifton Park irony began. My in-laws told us they had discovered this wonderful town of Clifton Park and were moving there. It was if they didn't know we were quite familiar with the area. They moved to Hollandale Apartments and later bought a home on Cranberry. Then, one of her brothers bought a house on Acorn. A few months later, another brother bought a house on Elm. Then her sister moved into a rented home on Sonnet (?), I can't remember for sure.

 

Dozens of visits brought us to the area for decades. We've attended two weddings, two funerals, and one baptism at Saint Edward the Confessor. One nephew on my wife's side owns a home in CP. Two other nephews live in the area. Her brother has moved from CP to Malta.

 

I was last up about 4 years ago. Amazing how Clifton Center Road is now the hotel capital of the world. Back in the day, it was just the Best Western. Tempes Fuget.

 

And I know how to pronounce Colonie!

John- that is a fantastic story! I live half a mile from Van Patten golf course and I work in Colonie. 

Yes "downtown" Clifton Park is built up and there are tons of hotels for sure.  But it is a nice place to live.

I have always liked it there and still wonder "what if?".

Not to keep derailing this thread... I've lived here for 17 years now. Though now I'm technically in Rexford, west of Vischer Ferry Rd. Before moving last year we were in the Country Knolls area between exits 9 & 10.

 

My kids did graduate from Shen, lol.

Diamond of the Seas... no wait.. Crown of the Seas (but only between 5 & 8 PM)

[Envelope21]

We were on Symphony on a TA this year and the comedian on board made a joke that I still laugh at. It will be difficult to relay what he said because it was a bit off color. I will try though ...

 

He was talking about how amazing that ship was and he overheard a fellow passenger just stand in the promenade with his hands on his hips and exclaim, "This Ship is a MF !"

 

The comedian said, what a great name for a ship ... MF of the Seas.

 

Still cracks me up every time I think of it!

Most agree that some of the names Royal has chosen for their ships are odd...

 

Just for fun, share your suggestions for absurd or funny names you may have thought of.

I was reading your long post.My wife and I and then with our kids vacationed every summer in Lake George and made side trips to surrounding areas.We were at the Painted Pony Dude Ranch in 1974 I believe.

We have relatives in Fairfax County,Va. On a cruise in 2015 on the Grandeur we were having a conversation with a woman and during the course of same she mentioned. that she worked at a school.We said that one of our relatives worked at that school.It turned out that our niece was her onetime baby sitter.

On ever cruise that we have been on we have met at least one person that we shared something in common with.

Len, though we haven't met, I know by the roll calls that we have been on several of the same sailings. Anthem, Grandeur, Enchantment. The coincidences continue:

Moved to Long Island in 1960, New Hyde Park

Taught at Oceanside Junior High School - 74-78

Worked at the Painted Pony the extended summer of 1971, long before Rachel Ray intruded on the area.

My friends were running the Cabin in the Pines Restaurant on 9N just a mile for so east of the Pony entrance.

Visited friends in the Lake George, Stony Creek, Lake Luzerne, Round Lake, Clifton Park areas.

Moved to Fairfax County, VA, in 1978

Worked for FCPS for 28 years, retiring in July, 2006. 

Chantilly HS, West Springfield HS, Lake Braddock HS, Carl Sandburg MS, Robinson High School, Human Resources.

 

Now, any Delaware connections?
