        COMMENDING  Sue  Waterman  for  her  60  years  of
        dedication  and  participation   with   the   Camden
        Continentals Fife & Drum Corps

  WHEREAS, It is the sense of the citizens of the State of New York to
recognize  and  pay tribute to those institutions and individuals within
our midst that diligently strive to uphold and promote excellence, while
providing  meaningful  services  to  their  members  and  the  community
at-large; and

  WHEREAS,  Attendant  to  such  concern,  and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, this  Legislative  Body  is  justly  proud  to
commend  Sue  Waterman  for her 60 years of dedication and participation
with the Camden Continentals Fife & Drum Corps; and

  WHEREAS, Before it's establishment in Camden, New York in 1945,  the
Camden  Continentals  Fife  &  Drum  Corps  was created in the mid-1800s
within the Town of Taberg, New  York  under  the  direction  of  Alanson
White; and

  WHEREAS,   Originally  formed  to  play  at  political  rallies  and
patriotic celebrations,  the  Camden  Continentals  Fife  &  Drum  Corps
adheres  to the mission statement to entertain the people of Central New
York, while promoting patriotism and a general sense of esprit de  corps
within the community; the Corps now appears in around 15 events per year
at parades and musters; and

  WHEREAS,  Sue  Waterman  joined  the Camden Continentals Fife & Drum
Corps in 1963 as a fifer, becoming the first female fifer in  the  Corps
history; and

  WHEREAS,  Dedicated to the mission of the oldest fife and drum corps
in New York State, Sue Waterman is a very active member and participates
in all fundraising activities for the Camden Continentals  Fife  &  Drum
Corps; and

  WHEREAS,  It  is  the  custom  of  this  Legislative  Body that when
individuals and organizations of such noble aims and accomplishments  to
preserve  American Heritage are brought to our attention, they should be
celebrated and recognized by all  the  citizens  of  this  great  Empire
State; now, therefore, be it

  RESOLVED,  That  this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
commend Sue Waterman for her 60 years of  dedication  and  participation
with the Camden Continentals Fife & Drum Corps; and be it further

  RESOLVED,  That  a  copy  of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to Sue Waterman.
