My son David just sent me these photos of a bear cub's "visit" to their apartment building located in a town in New York just across the NJ border. He reported that she was a 100 pound cub who first tried to run into their lobby and then onto a neighbor's balcony. Foiled, she climbed a tree and ate berries for three hours (first picture). Finally she was tranquilized (pictures 2 & 3). Turned out she was a tagged cub & a "repeat offender" (picture 4) from NJ, which is where (last picture) she was relocated and set free.
I have published many articles, essays, a one-act play, stories, and books. In 2001, I started teaching at Teachers College, Columbia University. Since 2003, I have been a Distinguished Lecturer at Queens College, The City University of New York.
I live and write in Englewood, New Jersey. I also write at my bungalow on a barrier island off the coast of New Jersey. In my free time you might find me reading in a library or archive; wandering through a museum or historic site; exploring cemeteries to find graves of historic people I write about; going to every type of bookstore, especially used bookstores; driving on long trips; taking long walks; listening to music, kayaking; doing puzzles and playing Scrabble; and thinking and talking about ideas.
