<div>Your message brought tears, Bob. If we want to send a donation for Sandy

been quite a journey over the past week. Lynn , Nelson, and I are fine –
enduring our relatively minor hardships compared to many others. When I am
asked where I live I reply, “on the Hudson River”. At the beginning of the
week I would have had to reply, “in the Hudson river.” <br>
<br>
The city and
our office has been shut down. Many of my staff including my partner,
have had to endure prolonged power outages, home damage, and isolation ,
that still persist at this point. Fortunately none of us has suffered any
injuries. Everywhere I go I am struck by the randomness of who and what is
sparred vs destroyed. <br>
<br>
The finest human bonding moments for me have
been standing in the line with my gas can and visiting with my fellow
survivors, endurers, and mutualists.<br>
<br>
We have seen many examples of
intelligence, respect, and practical concern and action on the part of
individuals and government officials from both parties in response to the
crisis.<br>
<br>
Sandy has taught us to appreciate so much that we take for
granted and on the other hand our capacity as human beings to make do
and help one another.<br>
<br>
Thanks for thinking of us.<br>
Best
Regards,<br>
Bob<br>
