Greenway and trails appreciation

To the Editor:

Thank you for highlighting the Oneonta Susquehanna Greenway in your recent edition of “Bound Volumes.” It reminded me to give a public thanks for the work done by so many volunteers over twenty years ago (especially the initial plans by Leon Kalmus and the support of then-Mayor Kim Muller) to create this system of hiking trails.

During the early months of the pandemic, with so many indoor exercise facilities closed, my wife and I discovered this and many other local hiking trails, and we have continued to enjoy them and introduce family and friends to these special places.
