Monday, November 19, 2018 --- My Grandfather - Raymond Daniel Suits. This program featuring Robert "Bob" Stark is sponsored by the Duanesburg Historical Society and will be held at Our Lady of Fatima Church Hall (Alexander Road, Delanson) at 7:00PM. by: Robert "Bob" Stark
Bob Stark grew up in Schoharie during the 1950's and 60's. His grandparents Raymond and Catherine Suits in Duanesburg did not have a phone, so every Sunday afternoon, Bob and his brothers joined their mother Reba visiting her parents. During summer vacations, Bob and his brothers rotated week-long visits with Ray and Kate. Like his grandmother and mother before him, Bob graduated from a teacher training and licensing program at the State College at Oneonta. He began his teaching at the Schalmont Middle School in September, 1968, the same month that Catherine died. Before he got married in 1969, Bob moved in with Raymond to help with cooking and paperwork for a year. "My grandparents were a major part of my life," Bob says. Bob moved to Cobleskill where he taught elementary school for 32 years ending in 2001.
