I got this email in my inbox today. It’s a nice tribute to a nice gesture made by one friend to another.
Today, I wanted to point out something that my friend, Fonda Sara did.
This past summer, our office worked to have the corner of Carroll &
Seventh dedicated as Jackie Connor’s Corner.As you may recall, we
decorated the pole with the maypole-like ribbons that were a fixture on
Seventh Avenue for many months after the street corner-naming.They
withstood lots of bad weather and were looking kind of tattered. So I
am walking in the neighborhood on Saturday and notice that the old
ribbons were gone and NEW ribbons (in holiday colors) had replaced
them.I smiled to myself, because it had Fonda’s fingerprints all
over it. Yesterday I called her just to say how great I thought that
was. What a devoted friend and a great Park Slope neighbor.
