On September 1, 1990, at the Zion Episcopal Church in Colton, NY, the DeBrock family changed in a way that most of us could have never predicted. Pat DeBrock, of the corn-and-beans farming midwesterner DeBrocks, married Marcia Brieant, of the North Country boating/fishing/swimming Brieant family. And, sooner or later, slowly but surely, the love affair with the ADK spread. These pages are a testament to that affection.
