Was to have it in woodstock which is 60 miles north east of here. Woodstock, new york was a Bohemian Community and a lot of musicians lived there often on including bob dylan, the band, richie havens, van morrison, the organizers called their Company Woodstock ventures and they started looking for a place for their festival. They could not find a place in woodstock that was large enough. They found a property that might was down thehich road from woodstock but that fell through and out of desperation they found in middletown,ark near new york and it was very flat, kind of an interesting land, but it had Good Transportation access. They started building, they started advertising, the built artistses, they had creating art installations and everything was going smoothly until the locals caught wind of what they were doing and it was not going to be a 50,000 person folk festival after all, what they were promised. Jimi hendrix had been booked and nonfolk bands were hooked were booked very prominently and the town rewrote its laws to outlaw the festival. That left Woodstock Ventures with about four weeks to find another location. That is when they came in contact with max. Bethel, dairy farmer in 90 matt 90 miles northwest of new york city. When Woodstock Ventures approached him in july of 1969 and ask if he had any property that might be suitable for a rock festival, when he showed them a couple of pieces of land and when they came to this property which was one of his hay fields, he grew off cell phone on this hill, Woodstock Ventures partners noticed it was a natural bowl. It was a perfect ship, perfect size for the type of rock festival they wanted to have and on the spot they made a deal with max to lease his property for the rest of the month so that they could move their rock , new yorkrom wallkill to bethel and the rest is history. Bethel is like it was in 1969. The roads road system has not been upgraded very much and the economy is still very rural. Left bethelam shortly after woodstock, they moved to florida and soon after he died, the property went to a woman by the name of june and she kept the property ever cultural and in the mid1990s, she put the property up for sale gary setal man, alan up a foundation and purchased recognizede woodstock was a big part of this regions history and worthy of bethelration and created woods center for the arts which has an outdoor performance pavilion for a worldclass museum and the Historic Site itself. Bethel woodson at is to inspire people through the follow at least the 1960s ofles of the peace, brotherhood, acceptance. I think the people that come here can feel that just by walking the grounds, they feel that vibe. Sunday morning on washington journal a cover station on the history of woodstock.

Over time these individuals used creative and cunning tactics to gain her trust. They told her she had won a large cash prize and all she needed to do was pay the taxes and fees. I first realized my grandmother was a victim of elder fraud by the last conversation i had with her. Reliving that phone call is very painful. She explained that she needed 6,000 wired to her as soon as possible. Her forceful tone and desperation was very exciting. I could hear the panic in her voice and she was very, very afraid. This phone call set off many red everyone here grew extremely concerned about her financial situation. We do not know of a single time in her entire life where she ever borrowed money from an individual. My father informs me that he had wired her a thousand dollars the week prior and he assured me he was trying to find out what was happening. He mentioned his fears that someone was scamming her but because she was so desperate and e center the 6,000 she wanted anyway. Sadly, she died less than a week later. It pains me to talk about my grandmothers horrific death because she chose to take her own life. It is extremely hard to imagine a loved one committing suicide, but she did. Because these individuals prayed on her and on her good heart, her golden years, and the last chapter of her life was taken from her. It is clear to us that the circumstances that led to her death were caused by these criminals. Can see this entire Senate Aging Committee hearing on robo call fraud tonight on cspan at 8 00 p. M.
