Sorry to bring this up again.

I also erred with the Governor, Governor Sloughter, not Slaughter, the
Governor who mistakenly hung Jacob Leisler, of "Leisler's Rebellion." Jacob
Leisler was also instrumental in the purchase of New Rochelle ("17 miles from
New York City" the commemorative stone states on the Boston Post Road there)
for the French Huguenots, which also played an early role in the what I
think, transfer of political "not-yet-prisoners" to New Amsterdam through a
"French" church in the west of England. I have not been able to follow this
up very far but it is very interesting.

Sorry, I don't type very well, need a refresher in "Syntax" with the MIT guys
and "Semantics" with S. I.  Hayakawa and some "Tathagatha" with DT Suzuki,
although I think NYU had the record for reducing English syntax down to 23
rules, with some exceptions of course, gee I hope so. Don't mean they'd all
make sense now would it?

Here's an interesting historical archaeology question. Years ago I studied
anthropology with the editor of the "Journal of Trans-Cultural Psychiatry"
Marvin K. Opler. He related that he spent time as an anthropologist with
those Japanese-Americans kept in the internment camps out West. (With some
apparently on Ellis Island, in NY Harbor.) Where would one a) find the
records of the anthropologist(s); b) find government information related to
their fieldwork, and c) place the information into the public record so that
it might at least be preserved and not unknowingly destroyed or concealed in
the sub-basement of Washington, DC? The reason I ask is that my cousins
health was saved by the house-call the now deceased Dr. Yamaguchi, once of
Ronkonkoma, NY.  I feel to carry on both Marvin and his brother Morris' work
(in India) we must help heal the wounds of time and come to appreciate each
other, especially in light of the huge loan made to Turkey by Japan to build
a subway across the Dardanelles linking East and West, before the current
crisis there.

Dr. Marvin Opler's son is a Family, MD, in the Bronx, my cousin a
gastroenterologist, DO in North Carolina.

One use of the City Hall Park was for soapbox speeches and apparently working
in it has gotten to me.
