Waterfront: A Walk Around Manhattan (64 page)

Finally, it pleases me to thank two most important, lovely, and helpful individuals: my wife, Cheryl, who listened patiently to more waterfront harangues than anyone should have to, smoothing the way meanwhile for my preoccupation; and my daughter, Lily, whose sparkle and strength inspired me always—the new waterfront, if and when it is ever completed, will be hers to inherit, embrace, or dismiss, as she sees fit.
