The post about Helen Keller is interesting, especially that she was slated to have a position in the administration of the socialist mayor of Schenectady. Keller was a member of the Socialist Party a hundred years ago when many progressives saw socialism as the solution to America's income inequality.

Thanks as always, Greg and Mary - part of me worries that places like the Jericho Drive-In may someday go the way of the Catskill Game Farm, a great place and now just memories. I hope they return in 2014.
