Happy 60th Anniversary to Our Mom and Dad

Mom & Dad at the bungalows of Rockaway Beach, September 4, 1946

Since we spent over an hour yesterday morning driving all over Mesa and the East Valley trying in vain to find a 60th wedding anniversary card (the highest we could find in this part of Arizona was for the 50th), this is the best we can do for our mom and dad, Marilyn and Daniel Grayson.

They were married sixty years ago today, on May 28, 1949 at the Park Manor on Eastern Parkway and Rogers Avenue (now the First Baptist Church of Crown Heights).

Richard Grayson letter in The New York Times: "Summer Squall in Southampton"

Richard Grayson has a letter in the New York Times today (June 5, 2000), "Summer Squall in Southampton":

To the Editor:

Re ''Summer Residents Want Year-Round Voice'' (front page, May 30):

It is understandable that the wealthy seasonal residents of the Hamptons and other resort communities want a voice in local taxation issues. But it would be unfair to allow them to vote in local elections in two communities. Americans long ago abandoned property qualifications for voting, in favor of the principle of one person one vote.

Rich people with a Manhattan apartment and a Southampton house should choose one of those locations as their voting residence. Otherwise, their wealth will give them two votes and represent not them but their property.
