The Croton Recreation Committee agrees that the once a thorough
review has shown there is no other revolutionary war hero to be
recognized that commemoration of the Revolutionary War Hero, Jack
Peterson is a worthwhile effort . The recent approval of a sign Visible
to all from both sides of Cleveland Drive in addition to a plaque at his
graveside we deem as appropriate. There will be further discussion
about the use of the small lot at the five corners which we will review.
