ONEONTA – No matter where she goes, Grace Kull brings people together.  “We were the first family in my neighborhood to have a television set in 1950,” she said.  “My husband Al won it in a contest, and when Milton Berle was on, we’d have eight or 10 people over watching the small screen on that big box!”

READ, LISTEN TO ORAL HISTORY

Recently arrived at the Plains at Parish Homestead, the retired Cooperstown village trustee has made a new home – and a whole new circle of friends.  “I taught a group here to play Kings in the Corner,” she said.  “It’s an old, old card game that I learned from my grandmother.”

“She’s a real mood-booster,” said Plains Executive Director Trudy Claudy.  “She isn’t shy about anything, and she’s a good example for other residents.”
