Modern Athenas

In an unassuming stucco building on a quiet piece of the Hudson River in upstate New York, there is a general store with a small pub in the back. The locals call it the Little Chapel on the River. Author Gwendolyn Bounds introduces us to all the "parishioners" and the two generations of the Guinan family who keep it feeling like home in Garrison, NY. The pub becomes Wendy's new community after 9/11, when she locates from lower Manhattan to Garrison.INDEX0:00 Intro and Background of the Book1:24 Garrison, Guinan’s & The Little Chapel on the River8:01 September 11, 2001 and the Move to Garrison13:41 The Guinan Family22:40 Wanting to Belong33:13 509ers37:08 When You Know You Are a Part of a Community40:39 Characters: William Fitzgerald and Ed Preusser46:45 Stealing Time49:25 Final Thoughts and Next EpisodeVisit www.modernathenas.com for links to all episodes.
