  • Lindsey Parietti, "Blood Island" filmmaker — July 12, 2018
    Journalist Lindsey Parietti, an Altamont native, went to Egypt to learn Arabic and stayed for eight years, covering the revolution and co-founding an online newspaper, Mada Masr. She’s now in England, working on a series for the BBC, and has just won a British Academy of Film and Television Arts award for her documentary, “Blood Island,” about chimpanzees poached in Africa for medical research by the New York Blood Center and then abandoned on an island without food or water. — Photo from Lindsey Parietti

  • Albert Ebert, 98, recounts nearly a century of life — June 28, 2018
    Albert Willard Ebert turned 98 on June 26, 2018. As a young child, he lived at Rose Hill and remembers when Western Avenue was a single lane. His family later moved to a farm on what is now Hamilton Street but was then referred to as Cow Flop Lane. He and his wife, Andrea, whom he first saw as a beautiful girl playing hopscotch, have been married 75 years. He survived a near-fatal accident at the Altamont Fair and graduated in 1938 from Altamont High School in what was then its largest class — of 33. He spoke for our podcast from the Hamilton Street home he built with his own hands, a place to raise his three daughters.
