I’ll be 75 years old this July . How the hell did this happen ? Answer ? It didn’t . Along the way there are many stories to tell. Colossal milestones and events that literally blew my socks off . Family and friends accompanied me on the voyage . Priceless entities in a journey for the ages . </span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> And so it goes . The Autumn of my years . And much to my delight a phenomenon sweeps in and grabs me when least expected . Fred coined it The Trinity . It started a few years ago . Through Gotham . Fred arranged that I could be a part of the amazing concept . It was a rocky beginning as I stepped across many boundaries and did anything but choose my battles . The Politics Page became my bully pulpit. And how presumptuous was I to think I could rant and rave and tangle with the likes of Corey Bearak and Jane Jacobs and most of Fred’s Army. I had few allies . Fred was in constant repair mode . Paul Napolitano and Erik Scheibe had my back . But Fred really hung in there big time .</span></p><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> So Paul and I being thoroughly frustrated by the politics page began texting each other . Fred and I were already “ talking “ several times a day and soon all three of us were texting all day long . Politics, sports , music, food , wine ,woman and song . Relationships, kids , nothing is off the table . It’s a MEN’S GROUP that Fred coined “ The Trinity. “ I have a 65 year history with Joanne and close to that with Fred . The relationship exceeds most that I cherish And this Mench of a Man Paul . Having Mr Napolitano and his beautiful wife Victoria in my life and completing The Trinity has been an astounding surprise in my life . Considering that I thought I made my last friend long ago . The Trinity trumps most all for me. The brainstorming keeps me relevant. The timing couldn’t be better . Thanks Gotham . A short window into a slice of what you do.</span></p><br><p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Hollander Sends</span></p><div id="AppleMailSignature" dir="ltr">Sent from my iPad</div></div></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><div><span>_______________________________________________</span><br><span>Fredslist mailing list</span><br></div></blockquote></body></html>
