  1. My journey as a Tottenville historian began as a reporter covering Spanish Camp's demise, where I discovered Dorothy Day had stayed in a summer cottage as retreat from her Catholic Worker ministry. Learning she was baptized at my own parish, Our Lady Help of Christians, changed everything. History became personal.

  2. Sometimes the best research discoveries happen when you're in the library. Finding Dr. Phillip Papas's That Ever Loyal Island: Staten Island and the American Revolution. Research has a way of connecting you to scholars whose work becomes integral to your own understanding.
