Look up "300 main street goshen ny" on Google Maps, go to street view, and you will see the corner of the property off Craigsville Road. For some reason, the entrance road off Main St. at the site of the old mansion is called "Briarwood Apartment", athough there's no apartment built there. Maybe that was the developer deal that went south, leaving the Salesians with back taxes that cost them all the property except the Cemetary off Craigsville Road.
The Tower was recently torn down. I'm not sure of the timeline for the School building. The Mansion's foundation is part of a memorial garden at the Park. http://www.recordonlin...Presentation=desktop
I was a student here (same classwith Tim Lennox & others) from 1964 to 1968. It is truly sad to see the old place in ruins. I have many memories, happy and otherwise, but I credit the education I received as setting me up for life. I will always cherish those days and the friends I made.
Father Richard McCormack was convicted of sex abuse? Is this true? Does anyone know anything about this? I have good reason for asking. He was the Director of the Seminary when I was a student there in there in the mid to late 1970's. Please email me at jonavsr@hotmail.com if you have any information on this. Please use "Father McCormack" in the subject line.
And hey Father Marrow I think I remember you...Brother Mike at time. I was there in 1975 - was my first year helping with summer camp too.
Hi James Foley, Terrence Oneill. I don't know if you guys remember me i was a freshman and sophmore, you guys were sophmores and juniors when I was there. I left and went to another salesian school midway into my sophmore year. i quickly lost contact with my classmates. I've read a lot about things that happened after i left on line. You might remember tall John Fitzgibbons. He told me some things. and i read about Father Mcormick. i have occasional random dreams about my good memories there. i Too am a retired military man. is it coincidense?
