I ran into Ken Baer in front of Citibank on Seventh Avenue and he told me that there were numerous factual errors in my Breakfast-of-Candidates profile of him. I asked why he didn't get in touch sooner and he said he was too busy with petitioning "to sit and edit your piece."

Hmmm.

Our conversation spanned more than two hours as we went from Cousin John's to the Park Slope Food Coop and it did have a rambling quality. Later I did have a hard time reconstructing the actual chronology of some of his work experience. 

The biggest mistake: Ken told me that his father did NOT attend Harvard Law School. He was accepted at the school but it was during the Depression and he couldn't go.

Apparently there are other small mistakes as well. I don't think any of them are glaring or misleading. My apologies to Ken. He says that when he has more time he may get in touch and point out the other mistakes.

Evan Thies' campaign is sponsoring a Campaign Trivia Challenge on Wednesday, July 8 at 6:30 pm at Union Hall ( 702 Union St., Brooklyn). 

So what is the Campaign Trivia Challenge? Seven-time
Jeopardy champion and Park Slope resident Justin Bernbauch will host. Supporters and volunteers will compete to see who knows the most about
Brooklyn, and finalists will have a chance to match wits with Bernbauch.
