</P>
<P>Rebecca Baker Erwin </P>
<P>The Journal News </P>
<P>Margaret Hardenbroeck may have been the Martha Stewart of the 17th
century. </P>
<P>Tough and ambitious, Hardenbroeck built an empire by selling popular
goods. She ran her business while raising children and managing homes in Manhattan
and the suburbs. </P>
<P>It was Hardenbroeck's home in Westchester County that caught the attention
of 49-year-old author <B>Jean Zimmerman</B>, who writes nonfiction
books about strong women who break barriers. The story of how that home came
to be, and of the family that lived there, is the center of Zimmerman's latest
book, "The Women of the House: How a Colonial She-Merchant Built a Mansion,
a Fortune and a Dynasty." </P>
<P>Hardenbroeck's house is better known as Philipse Manor Hall, which
stands in downtown Yonkers as a state historic site. Zimmerman, who lives in
her hometown of Hastings-on-Hudson with her husband and daughter, wondered who
built the house and began her research. </P>
<P>She found Hardenbroeck, whom she described as "a larger-than-life
character" and the wealthiest female trader in 1600s New York. Zimmerman
also found that Hardenbroeck had company: many 17th-century Dutch women were
vendors, traders, shopkeepers and midwives, with more rights than their counterparts
in New England. </P>
<P>"In Colonial times, women were just as strong and courageous as
men," she said. "I think women of New York were even more surprising."
</P>
<P>Zimmerman's novel is one of several recent books about 17th-century
New York figures, including feminist Anne Hutchinson and historian Adriaen Van
der Donck, said Katie Hite, executive director of the Westchester County Historical
Society. </P>
<P>"There's a lot of interest in this time period. It's an era that
not many people know that much about," she said. "One of the interesting
things about history is that there's constantly new layers being discovered."
</P>
<P>The book details New York life during the era with some surprising
details, such as the bawdiness of the city, where mooning was a popular public
insult and Dutch men had children with Native American women. </P>
<P>Those details set the stage for Hardenbroeck, who came to New York
at age 22 to collect debts for her cousin. She made much of her fortune growing
the shipping and trading business left by her first husband, who died shortly
after they were married. </P>
<P>"If people didn't love their beaver hats so much, we wouldn't
be here today," Zimmerman said. </P>
<P>The book tells how Margaret and Frederick Philipse, a respected businessman
in the colony, became a New York power couple. The couple started buying up
what is now Westchester County in 1670, after England took control of Manhattan
and Margaret could no longer buy land alone. </P>
<P>Margaret and Frederick Philipse built the mansion in 1682 and used
it as a country house and a warehouse for goods headed to Albany. The stone
and brick mansion was the tallest structure in the area and could be seen from
miles away. </P>
<P>"It was a real showpiece," Zimmerman said. "It was like
Donald Trump's buildings on the West Side Highway." </P>
<P>Margaret died in 1691 at age 54, but her story didn't end with her
passing. Zimmerman writes about the other women who took over the house: Frederick
Philipse's second wife, Catherine Van Cortlandt, who built Sleepy Hollow Church;
Joanna Brockholst, a society woman who married Margaret's grandson; and Joanna
Brockholst's daughter, Mary Philipse, best known for rejecting a young George
Washington as her suitor. </P>
<P>Zimmerman does not portray the four Philipse women as saints. Margaret
Hardenbroeck Philipse became a slave trader. Her descendants were high-society
elitists, and their husbands were involved in questionable political and financial
deals. </P>
<P>But all four women loved the family house and used their money to expand
and improve it. Zimmerman's favorite room is Margaret's study, in the oldest
section. </P>
<P>"It's really an amazing token of the past," she said. "It's
so easy to forget the past. To me, it's as fascinating as any reality television
show today." </P></DIV></div></html>

Hi Jan!
Clancy is sitting on the floor by himself in the very front of the picture. Also, did everyone notice Keith Olbermann in the back row (kind of behind Glenn Lawson)? Was that Keith's last year in Hastings schools - I lost track of him after that. Also, remember the English girl (Polly?)-1st row standing, third in next to Brian Moleska? I remember when her family went to England and she brought in an English confection/hard candy log type of thing to share with the class, and Mrs. Weiner broke it into pieces with a hammer? And Arnold Caset from France? So many memories, Mrs. Weiner's class was great!

Here's another person that most would have forgotten. On the top row, second from the right is Harry Boretz (I think that's the spelling of his name). He's next to Stephen Bordy, and I thank Frazier Truscott is on the other side. Harry lived in the Hastings Terrace apartments where I lived but then moved away (Tarrytown, I think, because I visited him once after he moved).
Keith Olbermann in this picture. He stayed at Hastings at least through fifth grade as we were good friends in 4th and 5th grade. He then went off to Hackley, I think.

All, I actually think now, after having talked with several female members of our class that Gordon Craig was to them what Heather Smeltz was to many male members of the class. They even looked alike...strange.

Subject: Clancy Tager, Keith Olbermann, etc
Here's another rambling email for you..........
I am not sure that Marcine Weiner liked us so much that she wanted to teach
both 1st and 2nd grade (I never asked her), but we did have a stellar class,
I must say. She does have fond memories of us, and I think it was because
it was earlier in her teaching career, and many in our class lived down the
street from her. I was certainly thrilled to have her for two years ago.
And then I lucked out with Mrs. Plant in 3rd grade. Those were very good
times, indeed.
I have been extremely touched, grateful, and lucky to have resumed contact
with her on a regular basis.
She mentioned to me that Clancy Tager is now a musician and/or teaches music
and lives in Hastings (I did a search on Zabasearch.com and he lives on
Hopke Ave.) Remember when we used to read "Peanuts" comic books in
class?
I remember that Clancy used to distinctly pronounce the word "the"
like
"theeee". (God only knows what he remembers of me.)
Keith Olbermann is a unique story as well. So, Marcine Weiner handed me
this book that he and Dan Patrick had written about his days at ESPN (this
is shortly after our 20th reunion in the late 1990s. I was visiting her in
Chicago.) In the Introduction, under acknowledgements, among the many
people he cites, she points out to me that he also thanks both Marjorie
plant and moi. So, I am reading this thinking--"why would he thank me?"
The only thing I could figure out, and now I do so with fond memories, is
that Keith and I used to be very good friends, and I'd often go to his house
and trade Tops Baseball Cards (NO comments for the peanut gallery,
phul-eese). I used to ride home with him on the bus frequently. (And let me
tell you---I had Mickey Mantle, Elston Howard, Yogi Berra, Harmon
Killebrew--I had everyone from that year and my mother subsequently threw
them all out. Same with my Beatle cards. Ouch.)
Well what you probably don't call is Keith used to get teased quite a
bit---for what reason, I don't recall. Probably because he was extremely
intelligent and was a bit nerdy perhaps? I would defend him frequently
--day after day on that bus.....
Otherwise, the only other thing I can think of is he thought I was hot. I
doubt that, though.
I have fond memories of Keith and his parents, and although we haven't
spoken since our 20th, I am so pleased for his success. I am sure we each
have special stories.
BTW---Marcine gave me the book.

Dave has it right - we all loved Gordon Craig. Imagine the
possibilities if both he and Heather had stayed in Hastings...
I think that Keith Olbermann did stay at least through 5th grade. I
think he was in Mr. Pratt's class with me. Does anyone remember Mr.
Pratt galloping around the classroom, reciting "Charge of the Light
Brigade"? By the way, Keith's been on a tear recently on "Countdown".
If anyone who missed his latest shows wants to see them, let me know and
I'll post a link. He did have a hard time fitting in, as I recall. He
was a virtual walking encyclopedia of baseball statistics, among other
things. We all have our favorite Keith stories - maybe we should band
together and send them to MSNBC...

I've been reading the postings on our wonderful class website with great
interest for a long time, but this is the first time I've ever actually added
my
own comments...
Pat, you're correct. Clancy Tager is an instrumental music teacher (I think
he teaches band instruments in Harrison), and does indeed live on Hopke Ave.
The interesting thing about this is that Clancy actually grew up on Hopke Ave.
(right across the street from me) and moved away in the fourth grade. He moved
back to Hastings after becoming an adult and lived I believe on Branford Rd.
He told me a couple of years ago, after he moved back to Hopke Ave., that it
had always been his dream to come back and buy the house where he grew up. Since
that house is now owned by a young family that probably won't be moving for
a
very long time, he did the next best thing: he bought the house right next
door! He's married and has two adorable young girls. If he hasn't already heard
that he is the subject of some of these postings, I'll fill him in the next
time I see him. Maybe he'd like to join in the fun!

My mother is still in contact with former Hastings residents. The last
she heard, Wendy Pollecoff had married a Viscount.
Glenn Lawson is living in Florida. His sister Virginia, Rosebud to some
of us, is living in Ohio.

Subject: Keith Olbermann
Okay Nancy, here is my favorite Keith story.
Keith's dad was an architect and designed and had built a small
rendition of a Swiss A-Frame. It was even built on a rock outcropping in
the Olbermann's property.
I would say that in either 3rd or 4th grade I slept over and Keith and I
were going to spend the night in the A-Frame. It was dark and after
numerous subjects we started talking about The Boston Strangler. It
didn't take to long before we knew for sure that the Boston Strangler
had broken out of prison and the mission he had to complete that night
was to beeline it to Hastings and get Keith and I. Well, we were scared
shit less and I ended up going home and Keith ended up in his house.
As you can tell, The Boston Strangler never did either of us.
Jim K
As a foot note about the Olbermann's, they always way ahead with cool
stuff. They had the first Ford Mustang I had ever seen and even better
a Microwave Oven.

Jim -- I wasn't friends with Keith and I didn't know his family growing
up, but I have one memory of his father from about 1980. I came back to
Hastings from NYC (for my sister Kerry's graduation I think) and stopped
at the Center Restaurant. I was eating alone at the counter next to an
older man who started a friendly conversation. When he learned my age
and that I went thru Hastings schools he asked if I remembered his son
Keith. When I said I did he proudly told me all about Keith's career as
a successful radio sports announcer in NYC. His demeanor stayed with me;
I hoped that my parents spoke about me with equal warmth and pride. Not
being at all interested in sports until I met my husband and had boys, I
didn't realize until 1994 just how successful Keith had become. -Louise

I'm not altogether sure, because I could be having a senior moment, but I
remember Keith in about 6th or 7th grade. He was hooked on sports
statistics. He had a baseball almanac that he could quote every statistic
in it. When he came back for our 20th reunion? he remembered me, but I'm
embarrassed to say I didn't remember him at first. Much later it all sank
in. Jamie Shillinglaw might remember more.

Is anyone in contact with him?

Keith just might be a little busy with his "Countdown" program to
worry about our postings here! And Keith did leave in eighth grade (just like
Cleveland Clarke, I think....I don't remember when Clancy left, but I do remember
playing clarinet in fourth grade with him).

Subject: Pit Bull Attack
I would wager that many of you read or saw the News this weekend
regarding the Pit Bull attack in Rockland County.
My employee, Jeanine Wall Fusco, was the person who was attacked and
killed early Saturday morning. I was sitting right next her Friday
night at Tappan Hill in Tarrytown. We were attending the wedding of
another employees daughter.
I am in shock.

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. What a terrible tragedy.
When we lived in Colorado two neighbors had Pit Bulls. In one instance the dog seemed very friendly, and I was taking a walk with Mikey (then about 5 years old) when he was invited to stay and play. I remained and chatted with the neighbor for a few minutes - she assured me that her dog was wonderful with kids, but I noticed how protective the dog was of her kids and concluded that he might react very differently to a child he didn't know (my child)-an innocent game of tag or wrestling could have turned into a horrible scenario. I made an excuse and did not allow Mikey to stay. The other neighbors were a Russian family, they did not speak any English, and they had 2 Pit Bulls which they kept in their fenced yard. The dogs were walked without a leash, and they obeyed the owner very rigidly - but I had witnessed abusive training/discipline that the owner submitted the dogs to (in fact, had called the animal protective agency in Colorado more than once). I believe it to be true that if an animal is submitted to cruelty, not only is it terribly wrong, but the dog could "snap" at any time and become violent.
I love dogs, and I don't know that an entire breed can be ruled as unsafe as domesticated pets - but hearing stories like yours really makes me wonder what to conclude. Is it in the breed, is it the types of owners and their methods of training, is it a combination of the two?
In any case, very, very sorry to hear about your friend.

So sorry to hear about this tragic event.
I think pit bulls must have a gene that breeds true for spontaneous
aggressive behavior. This stuff doesn't seem to make sense but I can tell
you this: I would never get to close to one.

Jim - Like the rest of us, I'm so sorry for this woman, her loved ones, and
the people connected to her. How are they doing? How are you and your
co-workers?
As for the pit bulls -- seems to me a sublime example of human interference
in nature - abusive training, selective breeding for desired traits - with
the usual disastrous outcome. Homo sapiens strikes again.

Aren't we supposed to be the dominion keepers of this planet? Yet we constantly subject its inhabitants to cruelty and negligence. (Present company exlcluded!)
My internet is finally back up after some some spontaneous financial combustion. Banks and their fees, and all that. Anyway, hi to everyone and pardon my disapperance. I can't email from my school email this year (not yet anyway, although they assure us the problem will soon be resolved). So I've had to live like a ghost for all this time!
Thanks to Barry and Nancy for their emails, I'll get back with you shortly. And hi again to Anne! Good mom's head on your shoulders with the pit bull neighbors.
What a shame about Corey Lidle. With a wife and child, too. Can't help but recall Munson, either.

I would just like to thank everyone for their kind words and support for

There must be a reason when I go visit the Dog Pound that 75% of the
dogs are Pit Bulls. Such a pity and I have to say I am a bona fide dog
lover.
And Life Goes On.
Thanks again.
