Thank you, Great Neck Record, for this terrific article on your new adopted son: http://greatneckrecord.com/local-historian-brings-vaudeville-to-life/

As I wrote here when we moved here six months back, I love my new home. As we get more settled into our new digs, I’m looking to get more involved in the local community in various ways too early to announce. I feel very in tune with this place — hopefully it will be requited. The article is a very auspicious sign!
