A good bye and a look back

The good bye is for me. This is my final post on Inside Rockland and my last day at The Journal News. Thanks everyone for reading. I’ll look forward to checking back to see what kind of shenanigans are captivating Rockland.
The look back is for a certain elected official in Rockland. Not too long ago, columnist Bob Baird showed me a newspaper from July 14, 1976 and asked me if anyone on the front page looked familiar.
Do you guys recognize her?
It’s Legislature Chairwoman Harriet Cornell!
She was speaking at a Democratic caucus at the Waldolf Astoria during the Democratic National Convention, calling for a tribute statement for former Postmaster General and Stony Point resident James A. Farley, who had died that year. Farley was also a former chair of the Democratic National Committee and ran the presidential campaigns for President Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
Sorry Harriet— I had to do it!

That’s Harriet Cornell. Good luck, Sarah
That is great picture of Harriet! The question is what year was that picture taken?
