Here & There Column

A Family Graduation
                                                              
     The month of May is traditionally the beginning of summer and it brings us important events in our lives like Memorial Day and of course college and university graduations.
   Memories are an important thing in life and remembrances of both those who served this great nation of ours and of the hard work put in by graduates to achieve and advance their future are perhaps the most precious of all this time of year.
   College and university graduations often include mothers and a daughter or son but several weeks ago a family with Roscoe NY roots included a mom and her two children graduating college within a weeks time.
   The three new college graduates include mom Patricia Trask-Huggins, daughter Amanda Huggins, 22, and Jesse Huggins 20.
   Patricia, a high school graduate from Jeffersonvillle-Youngsville Central School, graduated from SUNY Oswego on May 17 with a MSED (Masters) in Career & Technical Education. She is employed at Orange-Ulster BOCES in Goshen as the Work-Based Learning Coordinator and also at Catskill Regional Medical Center in Harris as an Administrative Director of Nursing.
   Amanda, a Roscoe Central School graduate, graduated from SUNY Oswego witih a BA in English on May 17. She has been accepted into the Master's Program at SUNY Oswego and works at Orange-Ulster BOCES as a substitute teach and at Mr. Willy's as a waitress.
  Jesse, also a Roscoe Central School graduate, graduated from SUNY Canton on May 10 with an A.A.S. in Automotive Technology. He has applied to the Florida Gulf Coast University in their Professional Golf Association (PGA) Golf Management program.
  Proud Roscoe parents and grandparents are Thomas and Barbara Trask.
