The artist Paul Growald lives in Sleepy Hollow, NY. Which is not far from New York City. I hope you or of your connections up such a project for the Big Apple...
A Monument to Victims... Stumbling Stones or Lynching Obelisks...

Yes. In the Village of Westbury. My village was the first on Long Island to abolish slavery, in 1776.

I used to fly into Islip periodically. There's a little machine shop just off 495 that used to make small parts for us. We had to do a supplier quality audit once a year.

Most Long Islanders would say I live in Western Long Island. The way we talk about our geography here is idiosyncratic.

There used to be a lot of machinists here when Grumman still existed. Those guys could make anything.

Here is a great memorial to the book burning in 1933 in Berlin by the Nazi. It was built in 1995...
