"[I]t was precisely the partial nature of these memories, their fragmentation, that made them so evocative for me. The shards of memory acquired greater status, greater resonance, because they were remains; fragmentation made trivial things seem like symbols, and the mundane acquired numinous qualities." - Salman Rushdie in "Imaginary Homelands"

Soon after people started getting wind of this site, I started receiving a number of e-mails from people reminiscing about their "good 'ol days" in Newburgh. I suggested that they write up something about their experiences that I could post on this Web site. Hopefully this collection of essays will continue to grow. If you have any original, unpublished writings to contribute, please e-mail comments@newburghrevealed.org. Reading these essays requires that you have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer.
