My brother Jack and I have always had an interest in the history of the New York City borough we love, and to which we are fourth-generation born natives. When we came of age – with time on our hands – that interest quickly progressed from hobby to passion, that over time became a story of movement within the broader story of Staten Island history. Unwittingly, our experiences became a book titled “Our Staten Island,” where the reader is invited to enter and enjoy this unique journey of time-travel at its best, through old towns and roads, meeting the people, places and events from the past, just as we experienced it.
