Comments
I was born in 1942 and raised in South Brooklyn (not far from the Williamsurgh Bank clock tower) and moved away in 1962. But I NEVER moved away, really. In my book As Long As You Can See the Clock, You’re Okay, I have a chance to relive my youth and teenage life in a magical place. Grace Zolla Protano.
