Hi Bill and everyone who was around Newburgh when I lived there! I retired from police work in New York in 1995. I was a N.Y.S. certified police instructor, warrant control officer, field training officer and wore a host of other hats including criminal investigator & detective during my career. In addition, I was the Chief Constable for the Town of Rochester where my 15 minutes of "fame" was successfully removing the Reverend Sun Myung Moon of the infamous "Moonies" and his indoctrination camp from the state. Prior to my full time law enforcement career I was a N.Y.S. certified Building Inspector, Code Enforcement Officer and Zoning Inspector for the Town of Rochester. I was also an elected fire commissioner, served two terms and ran unopposed. We are now living at 21053 Indiana Avenue in Port Charlotte, Florida. I built my first motorcycle at age 13 at my parents home on the south side of North Plank Road at the foot of Chadwicks lake which my Dad Clarence W. Owens helped build for Tom Chadwick. I've lost count of the motorcycles that I've owned since and have a current bike web site at http://members.localnet.com/~apowen/ which may be of interest to some of you. I took a very lovely classmate from our class of '64 on her very first motorcycle ride earlier this year and her expertise at horseback riding paid off. Leslie Pesetzky is a natural biker and I hardly knew she was on unless she tapped me on the shoulder with a question about some Florida sight! Leslie was one of the original twelve of us students at N.F.A. who under the auspices of Bernard "Bernie" Barnes launched the first accredited high school course in B&W photography in the state! We pretty much had free passes to photograph most school activities and quickly earned the nickname of "Bernies' Raiders". I'm still into photography and accepted the Ellenville Public Library's invitation to exhibit my work many years ago. So here I am in Florida just as crazy as I was in high school but now a retired cop without a leash on a 98 cubic inch V-Twin motorcycle still carrying guns and cameras, Lol. Bill, thank you for having such a terrific web site and feel free to publicize my email address as I would certainly enjoy hearing from others who have walked those hallowed halls of N.F.A.
