I was born in NYC, borough of Queens three months after Pearl Harbor. My mom was born ditto in November 1918. Yep, that’s right, smack dab in the middle of the Spanish Flu epidemic 100+ years ago. Andrew Cuomo was my boss when I worked at HUD in the ’90s. I carry that heritage and a certain attitude with me to this day (in the Peoples’ Republic of Boulder since 1976), even the Queens accent. NY tough, like the man said. We will get through this.

Well said. We are, of course, newcomers to NYC but after two years feel like we belong here.
