Outstanding presentation. Professor Kowsky does great honor to his friend Lucille Gordon by building on her work on conveying their joint efforts with clarity and distinction.
3 weeks later the community appreciates it enough that a shooting that took the lives of two and 6 injured happened
Fabulous presentation on someone who deserves so much more attention for his contributions to NYC architecture and the music scene!
