EDITORIAL

This week we took a look at the office, took a road 
trip, ate cake and  today celebrated the 4th.
We are going to recognize the 4th by looking forward to a ferry trip to Long Island City… or maybe points farther away.
We will be at the Visitor Center all weekend to greet the locals and visitors.
