Thank you. I’m blushing. With many good things that happen, no one person does it all. I have to thank Chris Hrones at DOT for paying attention and all the neighbors who complained about this dangerous intersection.

That’s high praise from this 60+ year old grandmother!

These are some great folks and I’m really only aspirational of the accomplishments of fellow listees. But I appreciate the mention!

I feel an honorary resident of Brooklyn Heights since I spent my first two years at Heights and Hills in the St. George Hotel and then on Montague St. for another 20 until we outgrew our space. And of course, there is our annual Thanksgiving Dinner at Grace Church — I have spent more time in the Grace kitchen than my own! On behalf of Heights and Hills, I’m so pleased we can help so many long-time residents of the area continue in the homes they know and love as they grow older. The Heights is a community in every sense of the word. You look out for one another and “honorable mention” is a wonderfully apt: I’m honored to be an honorary member of the Heights.

There’s no rule against repeats and I think his stellar performance this past year rates an honorable mention. My other HM nominees are Jane McGroarty, architect, BHA president, and driving force behind the improvement of pedestrian access to Brooklyn Bridge Park via Atlantic Avenue, and Judy Willig, Heights and Hills executive director.,
