Dedicated to the Historic Preservation of the Site of the 1969 Woodstock Music and Arts Fair

About Me

Undoubtedly, if I was just a couple of years older in 1969, I would have found my way to Bethel. Woodstock was happening a mere 60 miles away - and It took me 25 years to get there. It was 1994, when my children and I attended a festival in Bethel, when I realized exactly where I was at. Standing at the marker, and gazing at the breathtaking view - I was mesmerized by the magnificence of this peaceful setting and flooded by memories of those times past. As I walked on that field, I was overwhelmed by the sense of importance for what had happened there and a respect for what it represents. I found myself drawn back to visit often, and I grew concerned over reports of its development. More often than not, what was important yesterday, is erased by tomorrow - so I am grateful for the opportunity to have played an active role in the historic preservation efforts of this global landmark, and proud of the changes we were able to affect. My years of involvement in this project have been filled with passion, privilege and enlightenment - and an experience I will never forget. I finally did make it to Woodstock, I just took a different road. And in closing, I’d like to share my most valuable lesson, which presented itself at the end. I learned that it is possible for an ordinary grandmother, in small town America, to make a difference. If I could do it -- anyone can. Imagine the possibilities!!

Woodstock: Peace, Music & Memories

Brad and I have completed our book on the 1969 Woodstock Music and Arts Festival in a way that no one has done so far. Over these past few months, we've gathered personal photos and memories from people who were at the festival and in the area, to chronicle Woodstock '69 from their perspectives.  It's really been an exciting, and exhausting project. There are almost 100 Woodstock veterans who contributed to this book and we were able to surpass our never-before-seen picture requirement. This book also includes collectables from the festival and Yasgur's Farm. WOODSTOCK: Peace, Music and Memories is due out in May of 2009 to commemorate the 40th anniversary of this watershed event.
