I remember being at that poetry reading since, I, too, have a poem in the Paterson anthology. I remember how pleased and excited Maria was to have Bill Pascrell there and how impressed I was that a politician read poetry and would take the time to attend the reading. A special person.

I remember meeting Bill Pascrell at your house when he was running for office. He was a great politician and a real mensch.
