Despite contemporary attention from Franklin D. Roosevelt and from Pinkerton Detectives, and more recently from amateur sleuths and the press, the Germond murders case went unsolved until Dr. Cookingham’s investigation. The multiple murders of James (Husted) Germond; his wife, Mabel; and their two children, Bernice and Raymond, at their Dutchess County farm in November 1930 is one of the most famous crimes ever committed in the Hudson Valley. https://www.cbsheridan.com/events/history-on-the-radio-new-documentary-on-nyacks-urban-renewal-program monthly 0.5 2023-06-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e389c48ec44514690555b0d/35e3291f-d34e-46bb-a4cd-1d2f5326bec4/june+2023+radio+show.jpg Upcoming Events - History on the Radio: New Documentary on Nyack's Urban Renewal Program - 151.

Schenkman entitled “Patriots and Spies in Revolutionary New York.” Spies! Loyalists! Tories! Conspiracy! Strange messages? Codes in invisible ink? The American Revolution was first and foremost a civil war that tore at the very fabric of families as well as society. Patriots were determined to separate from England; while Loyalists were just as determined to defeat what they saw as a rebellion. Many do not know that during several critical periods the war was almost fatally undermined by English sympathizers or in some cases opportunistic Patriots. Patriots and Spies in Revolutionary New York is a compilation of twelve stories regarding important moments in New York State's history during the American Revolution. https://www.cbsheridan.com/events/ghhn-transformative-tools-spotlight-on-podcasts monthly 0.5 2021-07-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e389c48ec44514690555b0d/1626375651052-6QFDO5U03A48GVLA4JA3/transformative-tools-linkedin-post_orig+%281%29.jpg Upcoming Events - GHHN: Transformative Tools - Spotlight on Podcasts - Greater Hudson Heritage Network’s TRANSFORMATIVE TOOLS - A Practicum in Digital Engagement for Heritage Keepers Spotlight on....Podcasts WHEN: Thursday, July 22 10 AM - ZOOM Webinar (participants are not on-camera, only panelists are) REGISTER FOR THE WEBINAR Hear from three groups about their experiences with podcasting: NYS Historian Devin Lander, co-host Lauren Roberts, and their producer Jesse King will speak about the A New York Minute podcast; Clare Sheridan from the Historical Society of Rockland County will speak about the "Crossroads of Rockland History" podcast; and Sarah Wassberg, the Food Historian, will speak about her "History Bites", food history podcast. https://www.cbsheridan.com/events/hsrc-on-the-radio-steve-posell-50-years-in-local-radio monthly 0.5 2021-07-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e389c48ec44514690555b0d/1626276161336-ZIB9MYH2Q1FM0IHTXU8L/posell+square+radio+image.jpeg Upcoming Events - HSRC on the Radio: Steve Posell - 50 Years in Local Radio - 129.
