Date: Fri, 10 Oct 2003 00:25:10 -0400

I was just able to fix an important broken link on my website. I thought
I would mention that it consists of 27 webpages that were originally
published 10 Apr 2002 as a special section of the Times Union newspaper.
Below are the address and a list of the titles of the articles. There is
a lot of worthwhile history in these articles. (Beverwijck was an early
name for Albany.)
