<FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>It has 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>
