The Town Board in Somers, NY observed a moment of silence at its last meeting to honor Donald B. Derr, who died on March 6 at the age of 84. After he retired in 1990 from IBM, Mr. Derr worked for Somers for 20 years and helped create the Town’s record management system. He was an avid hiker and conservationist. The obituary at LoHud.com says:
Mr. Derr was an avid hiker and was involved with hiking, conservation and historical preservation organizations including the New York / New Jersey Trail Conference (serving as president from 1978 to 1984), the Appalachian Trail Conference, the Westchester Trails Association (serving as president), Teatown Lake Reservation, the Somers Historical Society, the National Maritime Historical Society, and others.
