This info should be more widely known. All my life I've been spending time at Bear Mountain, particularly up on Perkins Drive, but I've never heard much about the Perkins family. I knew George Perkins was instrumental part in the original PIP, but the degree to which he and his family generously participated and continue to participate in improving the park is just amazing to me. Honestly it is moving to know that they are still so involved. I wish I could thank them all personally.
I am a Perkins. Proud of it! Not sure if or how I'm related. But still proud of the name I carry. I grew up in Rockland County and have spend many many countless hours and hours of fun in and around all of the parks and places mentioned here
