In early November, as we were getting ready to leave Lenox Hill Hospital after a week long stay where I receivied a heart stent, Dusty handed me an email from our WestView editor, Kim, which was a copy of an article in Travel and Leisure and in which Sarah Jessica Parker is asked “What makes the Village so special?” She, Sarah Jessica, responded:
“The whole city wraps around you—and for me it is the relationship we have made with shopkeepers and proprietors of small businesses and restaurant owners and neighbors”…and then Sarah Jessica said something which gave me hope that I would get over many pains and get back to work and somehow get out another edition… “We have this extraordinary local newspaper called WestView which is amazing. The Editor is a neighbor and he is an elderly gentleman who’s really looked out for the senior community”.
It gets harder and harder to find the revenue to print a paper like WestView every month and now with an exhausted body with strange stabbing heart pains I entertained the thought to give it up—give up trying to find the money to get it out each month—but Sarah Jessica’s words have made me decide to go back to my desk once more and get out the December issue…
Will you help me get out the 2022 New Year January issue for the start of our eighteenth year—see page 2 for more info…
