As you can see, the block's barely changed. It was and still is one of the more peaceful in the neighborhood. When I was a kid, families on the block included, Menesick, Hannah, Grundstrom, Carroll, Bodnar, Henry Stern and Walter Cronkite. Delivered the Sunday NY Times to Uncle Walter and Mayor Robert Wagner at 605 East 82nd Street. Wagner gave me a quarter, Cronkite stiffed me. You don't forget these things.

Well, Tom, I almost had a five room floor through on the ground floor, with two entrances, and a garden in the back - and an awful lot of work to do to bring everything up to date, but for $1800 per month (6 years ago) if my girl friend had had a little courage and taken the leap from the apartment she moved into in 1972 (in the Village, OK), I would be there now. As it is, I'm in the Cherokee on 77th Street. But, you're right about the peacefulness. Ahh.. I took my new girlfriend, from Franklin Lakes of all places, for a walk around Carl Shurz Park with her dog a week ago and boy, was she amazed at this wonderful neighborhood! Write on!
Thanks so umch, Bill, plenty more coming!
