Our neighbor, Michael Gaye, passed away while on a cruise in the Greek Islands a few days ago.  He became ill while swimming and there was no medical assistance available.

Once his body is brought back back to the United States, funeral arrangements will be made.  Thanks to Josclynne Grier for the photo montage below by Dedra Tate.  

Finally, Roberta Fisch passed away after a very long struggle with cancer. During those many years, she worked as much as she could and kept up a positive attitude.  Condolences go to her family and to her goddaughter Dorienne.

Voting makes a difference.  The NY Primary elections for Democrat candidates for Governor, Lieutenant Governor among other candidates are this coming TUESDAY, SEPT. 9 at P.S. 163 on 97th Street between Columbus and Amsterdam Avenues.  

This can make a difference to tenants:  Will the governor listen to us or prefer big real estate donors?
