Schenectady Veterans Honor Revamped Park, With Fountain's Fate Still Up in the Air
Marine Corps veteran Charles Farnum stood in Schenectady's Veterans' Park on Veterans Day and looked at a space that bore little resemblance to the one he'd complained about just months earlier. New pavement, accessible walkways to the memorials, fresh landscaping, benches and trash receptacles now line the park across from the county offices and courthouse on State Street. Farnum, who has two uncles listed on the memorial walls there, called the transformation a place of beauty and honor, like a dream.
