Bill Pulos Looks Back on His Time on Jericho Hill in Alfred, N.Y.
Bill Pulos' remembrance of his time on Jericho Hill begins with:
I’ve been a legal resident of the Town of Alfred for 69+ consecutive years.
I was born and raised, worked, lived, farmed, played and coached
collegiate rugby on Jericho Hill, for parts of seven (7) different decades.
I’ve bathed in its sun, shoveled its snow and stared at its stars,
I’ve felt its warm comfortable breeze gently caress my face and
I’ve felt its wickedly frigid cousin, the cruel, howling wind of winter.
I spent my first ten years (1955-1965) on our Jericho Hill family farm homestead. Two hundred twenty-five (225) acres. It was located in the Town of Alfred, on both sides of Allegany County Route 12 (Jericho Hill road) to the south of the Kenyon Road intersection. The farm land stretched across to Foster Lake Road with 3000 feet of Lake Road frontage, contiguous to what is now known as the Alfred University (AU) Equestrian Center.
