This is a start on a page to present reminiscences of people who have memories of the towns of Cazenovia, Fenner, and Nelson.  Most of the available reminiscences come from area newspapers, some are in journal form, and are in some of the local history books.  They are by young and old, and cover scattered bits and pieces of our history.  If you know of any that might be good to include here, drop me a line.  I have a bunch of them already and I'll try to provide as many as I can very shortly.
