What is your favorite sweet thing to eat? Bread pudding? Chocolate chip oatmeal cookies? A smooth and creamy piece of cheesecake? Tell us all about the anticipation and delight of eating your favorite dessert. Not into sweets? Tell us all about your weakness for that certain salty snack.
K – 12 hard. I was terrible at math. Always failing. The only reason I got promoted was because of the New York State Regents exams. College was a much different story. I went to and graduated from Marymount Manhattan College and Loved it! The difference between K-12 and College was that at MMC for the most part I got to choose subjects I enjoyed and all the professors were challenging. I suppose another factor was that I went to College late in life. I was 36 when I began my studies. Marymount Manhattan College was one of the best experiences of my life.
If you had to have your vision corrected would you rather: glasses or contacts?
I had retina surgery on my left eye Jan. 2010. My eyesight had been very badly damaged from a minor stroke in Jan. 2008. Basically I spent nearly all 2009 blind in my left eye. The operation restored part of my vision but not all. Now my vision is 20/100. I had to stop driving and I still have problems judging distance, ie going up and down stairs. I wear corrective glasses which help. As I get older there are so many things wrong with my eyes that contacts would do me no good whatsoever.

What do you love most about the city / town / place that you live in?
The Energy of the People and the variety of cultures, ethnicity, faiths, foods and belief systems. Accents, costumes, clothing, all sartorial splendor that does not end or begin with 7th Avenue or the Fashion Police. The fast pace of the Uptown, Downtown & Midtown. The flow along Jamaica Avenue, Merrick Blvd., Fulton Street, Nostrand Avenue and Broadway Junction. From Fashion to Finance New York has got it Going On!!
New York is the Greatest City in the World as evidenced by Frank Sinatra, Billy Joel and Jay Z!!
The Big Apple!! Take a bite and you won’t be disappointed!!
What do you like the least about it?
The MTA aka Mass Transit System. The fare keeps going up and the service gets worse. Buses and subway trains take longer and longer to show up and when they do they are jammed packed with commuters!
If you were mayor, what would be the most important problem you’d tackle? How would you tackle it?
Reduce the fare back down to $1.00. Increase the amount of subway trains and buses. Hire more transit workers to operate and clean the trains and buses also add extra transit police for safety, especially when coming home late at night from work. school or worship service.
