Ira Bushey and Sons remembered by Ira's great nieces Lorraine Novosad and Jamie Russo. Oral History 2023

By The Red Hook WaterStories team

WHAT a thrill!! Surprise visit by two relatives of Ira Bushey who had our ship Mary Whalen built! First Busheys we ever met!

Here are sisters Lorraine Novosad and Jamie Russo, Ira's great nieces. We learned alot (did you know that Bushey was originally a French name?), and look forward to talking more.

They were in NY from Texas for the 100th birthday of Gladys Gilbert, another great niece of Ira Bushey. Jamie and Lorraine said that Gladys restored the Catskill Mountain RR.
