I respectively request that conversations completely divorced from the subject matter of the magazine be directed to me at daveklepper@yahoo.com
and not through the side individual messages accessed through this website.
I just had the experience of trying to give a full reply to CandOforprogress2 and when I tried to make a correction in my message, I found the whole, the entire, series of conversations deleted. In a nutshell, I wanted to say that there are good and bad in every population, that I obviously was not as familiar with the local situation in his city as he is, that I could get help from another friend in the area. Concerning his particular question regarding the Boston Tea Party and what followed, I can supply answers including a letter from George Washington. I don't know whether it is appopriate to post the scan. Regarding Crown Heights, the necessary outreach has been made.
An answer appropriate for this website: I had a job in Bay Shore Long Island that required me to take a 7AM LIRR train from Penn Station. Left the close-by Synagogue's early minion (34th St, between 8th and 9th Avs.) around 6:20. Sat down in Nedicks in the LIRR concourse and had my Tropicana orange juice, Philadelphia bagel and cream cheese, and a cup of coffee. The attendent notice my yarmulka and said "I am from Crown Heights." I answered, with a question: "So?" His answer:
"I did not know that Jewish kids could play basketball until we moved to Crown Heights."
The train was on time, the work was done, and some of the results are here attached as you can still see in the bulding now, 25 years later:
