Used to be a lot of potato farms in Suffold County, L.I. (eastern 1/2 of the island) In 1973 I worked for an engineering firm doing a tax mapping project for Suffold County. They were so far behind it was costing them a lot of money in penalties so if you could read they hired you. That's how I got hired. I never worked anywhere but the office in western Pennsylvania. Started in April 73 and laid off in April 74. 12 hour days 5 days a week and any amount of time you wanted work on the weekends. I was an unemployed newlywed and made a lot overtime pay and no time to spend it. I spent most of my time figuring out the right of way for the Long Island Expressway (CR 101?). Looked at a lot of deeds, road plans, and aerial photography (no Google earth then). There was a huge duck farm in Riverhead. In the summer of 74 my wife and I drove up there to see the place. Lots of open land back then which surprised me. Townships were called towns and towns were called villages, that surprised me also. Now my curiosity is aroused I will have to Google earth it. Enough, but if you owned property along the Expressway and the county came along in 1975 or so and said your deck was on their right of way, maybe I made a mistake.

Today's Featured Article - Show Coverage: Journey to Ankeny - by Cindy Ladage. We left Illinois on the first day of July and headed north and west for Ankeny, Iowa. Minus two kids, we traveled light with only the youngest in tow. As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
