Roll Call/Role Call

Luis Rodriguez, our concierge, always with a smile and a witty comment.

Demba, the corner vendor who came from Somalia twenty years ago. He greeted me by name everyday.

We are down to the wire here in Manhattan with less than 24 hours left before we head to the airport. This seems like a good time to do a little call out to all of you who had a role in making this such a great year for us...in small and large ways and from here and from there.
