"The hard way is the easy way."
- Sal Somma
I really enjoyed this. Not only because it brought back memories of my own high school days but the rich history of Staten Island that it covered as well. The Staten Island before the bridge... I had forgotten it was called the "Guinea Gangplank" (easy Driscoll, easy). Recommended for any native and "honorary native" (those of us who were here before the bridge and traveled over on the old 69th Street ferry). Well done Mr. Price.
