My dad was born a few miles east of there (Glen Cove) and a few months earlier (November 1930).

My ex's father was an attorney in Glen Cove - she was from Locust Valley.

I was born in the Margaret Hague maternity hospital ( https://njcu.libguides.com/margarethague ) which is there somewhere on the right, across the Hudson.

I’m so sorry.

Coincidentally that hospital opened the year of George’s picture. Looks like it closed 45 years ago.

Damn you’re old.

In 1989 or 1990 I went to a team building exercise in an old Glen Cove mansion on the water.

We stayed there for a few days doing stupid team building things with our customers.

It was a nice place.

@jon-nyc Margaret Hague maternity (named for the mother of longtime Jersey City mayor and political boss Frank “I am the law” Hague) was part of the Jersey city medical center, at the time quite a famous hospital. My maternal grandparents who emigrated from Europe went to Jersey City upon starting life in the new world and that’s where my mom grew up.

But alas, we moved to Manhattan and that’s where I grew up so although technically I was born in NJ, I am still a native New Yorker. I have no emotional attachment to the garden state.

and yes, I am old. So sue me.
