With Deep Sorrow........

It is with deep sorrow I offer up my condolences to the families affected by the crash of Flight 587. I myself is divorced from a Dominican woman so this tragedy does hit home. I learned today from her that my ex brother-in-law had a sister who was one of the victims on this tragic flight.

Having two children of Dominican descent also makes me feel close to the families of the victims. Being a native New Yorker and while dating my ex wife many years ago, I spent many days and nights in Washington Heights, the center of the Dominican population here in NY.
