Come Heres Predominate Over Been Heres As Our Olive’s
Health Strengthens
8/3/2006
By Gary Alexander
One of America's wittiest, if sadly underexposed, song-writers,
Chuck Brodsky, has a tune called "The Come-Heres and
the Been-Heres" about two towns that overlap invisibly
within the same borders. One verse observes that "The
Come Heres have their pussycats and their little white french
poodles/The Been Heres have their hound dogs with names like
Yankee Doodle/The Come Heres like to watch the ducks and sometimes

relatives reentered in other cemeteries.
Many were taken to the Woodstock Cemetery
and the Hudler cemetery south of Phoenicia
and many other cemeteries where the
displaced people went to live.

An Olive Pizza

Carol LaMonda
Dining in an air-conditioned restaurant or
taking out a prepared dinner would be a good
plan in this heat wave. May I suggest an Olive
Pizza? It is a cheese pie sprinkled liberally
with green and/or black olives. If you crave
color, add the pimiento. Jack Reynolds, the
former head of the Ulster County Tax Map Department,
used to refer to our former assessor, Jack
Molloy, as the Pimiento from Olive.
