Cole was one of those rare people who put his dream above everything..he was not money oriented,he just wanted to turn the old farm into a landing strip and work on and fly planes. He did not marry until much later in life when he had achieved much of what he wanted to do. He was a man in the old tradition.

Hi Everyone;
I like to collect very old books also Phil. They take me back to a time when there were lots of folks like Cole Palen, great men in greater times....

I do not do it on purpose..but it seems like the books are starting to cut into the stamps ! I just keep finding great books for a dollar or two . I have been borrowing John Burroughs An American Naturalist from the Red Hook Library..its not a book you can just scan through and yesterday i found a copy on Betterworld Books for 3.99 with free shipping. Thats better than the 21.95 the book store asks. Will the bookstores be the next to lose to the internet ?

Bob,
Here in my hometown, we have already lost our bookstore (new books) to the internet;
I spoke to the owner when the "Going Out Of Business" sign was first put in the
front window - the response was,
"We can't compete any longer with the likes of Amazon."
.....and now they are gone.
It is very sad, as I like to hold a book in my hands as I decide whether to
buy or not....

Its June in the Hudson valley and the wild roses on the sides of the road smell almost TOO Sweet ! The aerodrome opens up for shows June through October. Sadly Cole the man on the book cover is no longer with us. I picked the book up today at a yard sale for my Hudson Valley group of books.
