Club History

As the current "senior" member I can tell you that I joined in 1963 as the only Junior Member. I was the youngest member for years and still am among the youngest at 59.5! The club was formed about 1955-7 by Harry McNamara of Hurley and I believe Stanley and Zelda Wyman of Saugerties (and some others). They met in Harry's home. By 1963 they were meeting in the YWCA and I remember quite a few members attending. We had to move out of there and met at the Chambers School for years.

​

Then we had to leave there and went to Town of Ulster Hall. After years there they moved to the old Arby's on Ulster Ave as a temporary meeting place.

​

I am not sure when Red Hook became the new meeting place. We put on many Stamp Shows in the 60-70s. We often held joint shows with the Dutchess Co club. Members of that club would attend our meeting and vice versa.

​

It's sad to remember at all of the members that were in the club when I joined have passed on. Zelda died about 5 yrs ago. Harry in '89. I think Phil, Sophie and I go back the farthest.
