Notă biografică

The authors are members of the Corners Project at the Chapman Historical Museum, a team involved for the past six years in researching Glens Falls history. Gwen Palmer is a retired nurse from the Glens Falls Hospital, and Bob Bayle and Stan Malecki are retired teachers from the Glens Falls City School District. Their overwhelming appreciation of the photography collection at the museum prompted the development of Glens Falls, a work that is sure to stir admiration for an era that has passed.
