TRAVEL UPDATE By Pat Ayland The travelers have returned from our Autumn Getaway with great memories of the trip. We met new friends, we spent time with old friends and we laughed a lot. The sights (Baseball Hall of Fame, Culinary Institute, West Point and Hyde Park) were fabulous. The food was delicious and the shrines (St. Kateri and Martyrs Shrines) were beautiful, peaceful and serene. It was a wonderful mix and everyone enjoyed the variety. St. Kateri watched over us with sunny weather (although a bit warm) and a safe journey. CELEBRATING ST.
