Sidney Lanier,

I lived in the Mid-Hudson Valley for five years while attending Marist. My initial two years I lived at the Marist Brothers Novitiate in Esopus, and then moved to the campus in Poughkeepsie to finish my degree.

I did my student teaching at the junior/senior high school in Highland. The valley surely is a beautiful area, especially in contrast to my growing up down in NYC.
