"No place is perfect and no people more beautiful than another.  Yet, the places we love and the people we know are always special.  So it was, in 1989, after twenty five years of living and loving in... the sacred bond of time and place and us beside ourselves and one another in the grand company of life.  I had always thought myself the wanderer, cursed by the Norman and Celtic lust for new places, but in fact I was blest by their ancient quest for a place to call home.  And so I take my hat off to the place and the people I know, in A Magical Port, Port Washington, New York. "
