Post #425 . . . Several people in our area are having trouble accessing their e-mail if their server is Verizon. I have heard that the problem is widespread and I mention it here to alert those of you who have sent messages but received no reply. You just might want to call instead if the matter is important . . . I suppose it is possible that the people may want to call back Stephen Reed to clean up the mess at City Hall since his successor has been less than successful. But perhaps it is not too early to consider what memorial the city might make to him and his past accomplishments. Honor him with a building, a street or such? Perhaps City Island could become Reed Recreational Park since he was so instrumental in converting it to widespread public use. (I think maybe a parking garage since during his tenure so many landmarks were destroyed to provide for commuters.) Despite my opinion, he clearly deserves something. I wonder what Mayor Thompson would suggest since she has expended a great deal of effort in eradicating his memory . . . As promised, here is the fanciful metal sculpture of a motion picture camera. It is $50 and is 15 inches tall at the highest point. Now what film maker or film buff wouldn't appreciate a gift like this? . . .
