On refection, if is the French that should appoligise to the Dutch for the raid, the Dutch who should appoligise for pushing the Mohican off the land to establish Fort Orange. GE could be blamed for the towns current downslide.


John Van Laak should appoligise for the official song:

Our Schenectady 

What a warm and friendly place it is to be 

Nestled among plains and hills 

With a beautiful river that always gives us thrills 

And stores and shops with all that one might need or wish to see 

And legends and tales and lots of history 

Oh Schenectady 

Our Schenectady 

Let us now plan and help to make it grow 

If we will all do our best 

Then others can do the rest 

For places to study and learn in 

Places to work and earn in 

Places to live in happiness
