  1. Marilyn,
    Today’s date is March 19, 2017 and I’m at my part time job on Staten Island, New York. I’m actually retired as of 2012 due to medical problems. (four heart attacks). It is not as bad as it sounds. Two of the heart attacks I didn’t know I even had until I took an EKG. I’m still writing but not producing plays anymore. My brother and sisters all live in New York except my youngest sister Tanya who lives in Key West, Florida.
