In Memoriam.

     Charles Gridley, 66, b. May 28, 1949—d. April 26, 2016. He died of natural causes at his residence in Albany, N. Y. His passing will be a deep loss to family and friends. In 1980 he organized opposition to proposed fluoridation of water in Cortland. Mr. Gridley was a major contributor to the 1987 Cortland County Historical Society presentation “Of Time and the River—A History of Cortland;” he also created a satirical email exchange between $enator $ham and Constituent Paine. The history of Cortland and the satire appeared in this blog several years ago.
