The Long Island Debate

I just think it so cool that the debate took here on Long Island. I reminds me of the day back in 1987 when former CIA Director William Casey passed away. He had lived for many years down the street from my parents and the funeral took place at nearby St. Marys Church.
Not only were there police cars and secret service all over the place…but President Reagan arrived by presidential helicopter at our local town beach…how cool was that. Now here we are…21 years later…and Hofstra University was the host to what might turn out to be one of the most important and interesting debates in history…how cool is that.
