Sunday, November 15, 2026 HISTORICAL SOCIETY MEETING: What’s underneath history might surprise you! Join the Greenbush Historical Society on Sunday, Nov. 15 for a fascinating and often humorous look at the evolution of women’s undergarments. Historian Marilyn Sassi will discuss the evolution of undergarments from the late 1600’s through the early 1900’s. Find out how corsets, hoops, bustles, and other “necessary unmentionables” shaped fashion which reflected the changing beauty ideals and transformed the female silhouette through the centuries. The GHS meeting will be held at the East Greenbush Library at 2PM. Meetings are free, all are welcome, but please register with the library to reserve a seat. Call 518 477 7476.

An old friend refuses to use someone's new name. Do you correct them at the reunion?

At a reunion, an old friend repeatedly uses the name a former classmate had years ago. They say shared history gives the old name affectionate meaning; the classmate has clearly introduced themselves with a different name.
