I was living in New York City in the Village with my very young daughter, newly divorced, alone, and quite broke. Christmas was going to be meager, or so I thought at the time, which was around 1970. I barely had any friends in the city but around December, I met John and we quickly […]
I was born and raised in a section of Brooklyn, New York, where the streets were lined with one-hundred-year-old homes and quaint mom-and-pop shops. The house that my family and I lived in was a large, two-family stucco structure, located at 190 Sheffield Avenue. Although the house was torn down years ago, I will never […]

I love living in New York City, I would never choose to live anywhere else unless I had to. (I’m originally from the south but moved up here with family years ago) I have great friends, great family and a great atmosphere that helps me keep going; those things make me enjoy my life. I […]
I have only been to 4 official theatres in my life, two of them were community theatre’s which were obligations to friends and quite frankly I expected the level of comfort and ambiance I received.
