About
the coordinator: This page is maintained by Bruce A. Hamilton. Send
suggestions to me
at bhami@pobox.com. Both sides of my family lived in Rockland County for the past 160 years
or so, but I have
never lived there. I grew up mainly in Monmouth Co. New Jersey and
Chester Co.
Pennsylvania, and my personal experience with Rockland consists mostly
of frequent visits to
Pearl River, Nanuet, and Central Nyack as a child. Since 1979 I have
lived in the South
Bay region of Los Angeles Co. California.
