News from the President, Kate WhalenHi NYAC Members! This is Kate Whalen, the new president. I just wanted to write you to introduce myself and some of the plans I have for the next three years. I am a principal investigator at Chronicle Heritage in Buffalo (formerly Panamerican). I got my undergrad and grad degrees from University at Buffalo, where I worked with Doug Perrelli at Archaeological Survey. Buffalo is now my adopted home for me, my husband, our three kids, a dog and two cats. I’m a big Buffalo Bandits fan (the box lacrosse team here; Buffalo’s best sports team, yes I said it). Growing up I’ve lived in the Capital District, Catskills, and graduated high school from Potsdam Central in Northern New York. Living in so many regions of our state is one of the reasons I got into archaeology and history as a kid.
