EDITORIAL
100 issues, 100 people, more-or-less how do we see our community?
Some of those who have lived here for years or just months.
Some are thriving and living active social lives, some are retires, some are not here anymore.
Some are fondly remembered
Some were joiners, coming to every event.
Some worked here and left or many just vanished with no explanation, (many whisked off by the RIOC Drone).
Some have served the community, serving as an officer or cook-doing for friends and neighbors.
Some are artists and visionaries while others make us think of past and future.
Some were critters, 4 legged loyal friends
Some are our future, adventures in learning, giving and sharing.
All are Roosevelt Island
