Trustee My name is Tracy Bensen and I am a life long resident of Rensselaerville, NY. My husband, Gordon Bensen, and I raised our three children here and continue to share our love of this hamlet with our four grandchildren. I retired from a lengthy career at Greenville Central School and now enjoy the free time retirement allows me. I am an avid reader, love to hike the Huyck with my rescue dog May, taking pilates classes with local resident Sarah Nelson, and knitting through the long winter months. This is my second term as a library board member and I look forward to serving the community and its needs. Judith Crilley
