Kathryn W. Davis
Philanthropist Kathryn Wasserman Davis provided the donation that served as the foundation for the creation of Scenic Hudson RiverWalk Park. A brief history of Mrs. Davis, written by Linda Viertel for The Hudson Inedependent following her death in 2013 at the age of 106, appears below. Included in the article is a quote of Mrs. Davis's from which the motto of Friends of the RiverWalk Tarrytown is taken: "We don't know what tomorrow holds. And therefore let us take advantage of today to be as useful as possible."Kathryn Wasserman Davis 1907 - 2013 (PDF)
