Red Hook

I was raised here in this little town of Red Hook in the northern part of Dutchess County, New York. Back then, the town only had one stoplight and the high school had not been expanded. I have memories of walking around Bard College, visiting the Red Hook Recreational Park, and other such small-town activities. When I went back for my high school ten-year reunion, it had changed a bit, but the most charming parts were still there.
