Well over a year ago I started imagining taking a trip to the University at Albany (SUNY) in New York to have a look at Uncle Watty's death penalty research. He had donated his vast, one-of-a-kind research to UAlbany not long before he died. Once I got Uncle Jim on board, and I started thinking about things Kade would enjoying seeing, we mapped out quite an agenda. First, very clearly, we'd meet at the Boston airport (Uncle Jim flying in from Panama City), rent a car and then drive west to Albany, NY, where we'd stay two nights. I had already been talking with some key figures at the university and in the "death penalty world" (people who knew and appreciated Watt Espy). They were going to give us an official tour, and they were making arrangements to have dinner with Kade and me so that we could reminisce about Uncle Watty's life and accomplishments. I arrived in Albany full of excitement!
In my YouTube account you can find specific videos we made walking around downtown Albany, NY and of our stop in Troy, NY before heading back east.
