ALBANY The name of former Gov. William Sulzer, who briefly ruled Albany more than a century ago, generally finds its way into conversations on two specific occasions.
One is whenever an incumbent governor is accused of some serious misdeed. Sulzer remains the only of New York s 56 governors to have ever been impeached. The story of his removal in 1913 has appeared in dozens of newspapers on each of the two more-recent occasions when the prospect of a new impeachment trial has appeared plausible.
The other occasion is when somebody visits the Capitol’s Hall of Governors. Sulzer’s portrait stands out from all of the others, due to its massive size, its gloomy nature and the former governor’s eerie stare “equal parts Casanova and Karloff,” the Times Union described it when the hall was opened to the public in 2011.

WWNY Doug Barclay remembered: âhe loved the areaâ By Scott Atkinson | March 16, 2021 at 6:19 PM EDT - Updated March 16 at 8:48 PM
WATERTOWN, N.Y. (WWNY) - H. Douglas Barclay, who represented northern New York in the state Senate for 20 years, was remembered Tuesday as a man who loved the north country and accomplished much for it.
âHe truly was a north country, Oswego County person at heart,â his son Will told
7 News Tuesday.
Barclay, 88, died Sunday at his home in Pulaski. His roots there ran deep, as the seventh generation of his family to live in Pulaski.
In the summer of 2019, former state Sen. H. Douglas Barclay invited his good friend Joseph L. Rich down to his spacious parcel, Douglaston Salmon Run, County Route 5, Pulaski. Mr. Rich hopped into a four-wheeler, with Mr. Barclay confidently at the wheel.
âHe took me on a joy ride like you wouldnât believe,â Mr. Rich recalled on Tuesday, two days after Mr. Barclay died at the age of 88, leaving behind a legacy of exemplary public service. âI mean it was up the hills and down the hills. I told him it was better than any ride at the fair. I was holding on for dear life.â
