| How did you meet your Valentine? Who made the first move? |

 |
 |
| Dorna Lange, New York City (on Beacon dock): “We met 10 years ago working for a nonprofit for kids in Brazil. I definitely made the first move.” Aljoscha* Bokle: “We hadn’t seen each other for 8 years!” |
“I met my boyfriend here at Dogwood when I was working. He gave me his hat, a brimmed one with a feather, and we started dancing.” ~ Emily Drummond, Beacon |
Liam Henneberg, Poughkeepsie (on Beacon dock): “We met working at a restaurant in Rhinebeck. It was kind of mutual, but she held my hand first.” Savannah Cosenza, Poughkeepsie: “A few days later, we were lying on the cliffs in Rhinecliff watching the stars and talking.” |
And one more:
“My dog Elliot and I met back in May
at a shelter in Brewster. He made the first move.
He walked over and sat down
and looked at me quietly.”
~ Sherie Cordaz, Newburgh
