Newburgh Free Academy High School Alumni

I have just celebrated my 86th birthday and am living in Burlington Vt. This year represents my 69th anniversary since HS graduation! How many folks remember my family's candy store and pool room on Renwick Street, Hoffman's? My dad Herman Hoffman ran the store from WWI through his death in 1966. i would love to hear from anyone who remembers me or the store.

Colleen and Dave have a daughter, Harlie, 6. The day of the interview, Colleen was trying to schedule around Harlie's class trip, which took place on the same day we were to meet. At that age there are birthday parties to go to, class trips and clothes shopping. You can usually find Harlie at the shop playing video games under the steps with Danny's son, Danny Jr., 9.

Colleen juggles taking care of Harlie, volunteering at her school and working 6 days at the Moto Mall. We arrived at the Moto Mall to take a couple photos for my article and were greeted by none other than Harlie, who had in her hand a phone number written on a piece of paper. She was planning on calling Mom 'cause she wanted a ginger ale. Being a mom never stops.
