Yesterday, August 14th was EJ's birthday. Every neighborhood celebrated him. I am honored to know you all signed and shared this petition. This is a great gift to him. I am hopeful you all will continue to share to your network our plan to Co-Name the street EJ grew up on.

PS - if you or anyone you know resides in the NYC area... please encourage them to sign and share this petition. I also ask you all to write a letter about EJ... it can be one paragraph or four. Please make sure it is a one pager. Email it to me at wevans6@fordham.edu so i can print it out and compile for our package to the Board reviewing the Street Co-Naming application.

Thank you all.
