​Back in 1988, I was invited by the US Coast Guard to resolve a public relations challenge and defend the benefits of the Automated Mutual-Assistance Vessel Rescue system. I went to New York and lived for six weeks on Governors Island in Manhattan. I worked with the AMVER Chief, Mario Toscano, to define the benefits of the system economically and justify and monetize its efficacy in order to help ensure the longevity of the system. 

I have been back to Manhattan many times. Broadway is memorable. Every opportunity has been unique and wonderful. Sometimes it was with Camilla and Steven, occasionally with Linda, and most recently we took Amy, Melanie, and Emily there for Christmas. And AMVER is still going strong.
