Ten Years Later
My office in Brooklyn Heights is a few steps from the Promenade. I spend my lunch break gazing at Lady Liberty, the Manhattan skyline, the Brooklyn Bridge….and thinking about the fabric of our country.

No man is an island…
Each man’s death diminishes me,
For I am involved in mankind.
Therefore, send not to know
For whom the bell tolls,
It tolls for thee.
-John Donne
