[Rhodes22-list] Brad in Brooklyn?

Sun Jun 8 17:32:17 EDT 2003

Brad,

It's possible to get to Manhattan from the airports without going through Brooklyn, but who would want to?

In fact, we're not so chauvinistic that we won't travel to other boroughs from time to time.

When will you be in town?  As you may have read between the lines, we simply adore NYC, and would be glad to show you why--in any borough.

We're out of town next weekend, and for much of this week, but are free after that.  Let me know if you'd like to get together.

Bill Effros

The World is STILL available On Time.  Wax, horses,
race cars, if it will fit through the door, we'll haul
it!

Toronto and Beijing are presently being served by
thru-flights to avoid crew layovers due to SARS.  Tel
Aviv is a thru-flight as well for different reasons. 
Too bad, it was popular destination.  I'm flying to
NYC all month and am exposed to every known danger
that exists in mankind.  The Manhatten weekend stays
are worth it though!
