MyRye.com Top 10 Stories of 2010
At the end of each year, MyRye.com looks back at the top 10 stories – the most viewed stories by our readers. The year 2010 was not an easy one – our country scratching its way back from the depths of the worst economic crisis in modern times and our Rye community dealing with many challenges of its own.
Most alarming this year was the loss of some of our own; some who left us early including George Croughan and Mark Drago, both husbands and fathers. The community responded in force – with bunco fundraisers and a stellar school caring committee.
Rye is a special place – the annual little league parade, the annual Rye-Harrison game, the annual council meeting at the Square House and so many other things. With all the small squabbling that goes on it is worth stopping for a moment to realize how fortunate we all are to live in a place like Rye that in so many ways is overflowing with resources and opportunities.
