Howard, For several years I was the interpreter at the Van Nostrand Starkins House. If you ever find a framed portrait of John Wesley founder of Methodism, know that I put it in that house more than a decade ago. In the research I had done, Joseph Starkins who owned that house at one time, held Methodist meetings in the house . Roslyn has such a rich history.
Wonderful pictures! I lived in Greenvale at this time and can't believe I wasn't at this event!!! But then again 1990 I had three little children - so many happy memories from the 25 years I lived in Roslyn.

Our good friend Adele Tierney ran the decorating store downstairs - I think it as called the the Shooting Box and had THE MOST wonderful home upstairs!

This is fantastic! Does any of the documentation show the cost for a trip to NYC? Just curious.

Susan, I have been a resident of East Hills since 1984. I missed this event too!

I remember those houses in Country Estates. One was on Elm Drive and the other on Harbor Hill Rd.
My friend Mark Greenstein lived in one of the circular houses - are you related to Richard?

Reading the Valentine house brochure contributors list brought great memories of village families and preservation society members of the 60’s.

As Flower Hill’s historian (and as a Roslyn person), I cannot even begin to tell you how thrilled I am to see and hear this! Thanks, RLS!!

I and my best friends were painting students of Charlie Pasquelina at the Roslyn School of Painting in the early 1970’s. He was a wonderful teacher.
