Letter to the Editor - The Millerton News - 4-23-20

Don’t litter, remember Earth Day

I just did my “Earth Day/Trashersize” clean-up on Gay Road, Millerton.  

I filled a kitchen-size trash bag in one small area. This was not difficult and the satisfaction of seeing the outcome was worth the effort.  

Why is it so hard for people to take their trash home and recycle or put the trash in their own waste bin?  

Unfortunately, those who need a reminder to do this won’t be the ones seeing this letter.

William Hendrik DeVries

TACONIC — William “Bill” Hendrik DeVries born April 9, 1947 in Morristown, New Jersey, and passed away Nov. 3, 2026. After graduating from Livingston High, he attended Lincoln Tech and then studied engineering at UCONN.

Always curious from a young age to adult, he was constantly taking things apart to see how they worked. Projects ranged from his 57 Chevy, his Jaguar XK 120, or the many different motorcycles he owned. Throughout his life, Bill was a well-respected home builder. His many beautifully crafted homes dot the Tri-State region. Later in life Bill and Joan purchased and successfully ran a small hardware and lumberyard for 32 years.
