Generations of Glenwood Landing School graduates are bound to recall the imposing yet genial presence of Arthur L. Keesler, who served as principal of the school from 1925 to 1968. This picture of Keesler, taken from a retirement program by Carol and Warren Griffin of Sea Cliff, is the most recent posting to the New York Heritage website, www.nyheritage.org.
Keesler began his tenure at the Glenwood Landing School when the school was located at 18 Grove Street. Three years later, the Cody Avenue school opened with an enrollment of 96 students and Keesler at the helm. Keesler also served as President and Chaplain of the Glenwood Fire Company.
