Speaking in favor of secession will be Mr. Dan Singletary, a local artist.
Go out to a social event, a wedding, you're sitting at a table with people you don't know, and the bride cuts the cake was irrelevant.
Here we are talking about the secession movement.
How did your wife feel about this?
Well, she was very upset.
We're on the way home, and she was like, you know, can't you just...
deal with the secession thing when you're at these debates?
You got to turn a wedding into a secession debate?
I didn't start it.
They're going to ask me the question.
And here we went.
So it was a bit of an embarrassing moment for me, I guess.
I regret that I did what I did.
But the point is, it was a hot button issue.
My primary involvement with it was as a debater.
There were a series of debates conducted by all sorts of civic organizations on Staten Island where they would invite a pro-secessionist and an anti-secessionist to come before these civic groups.
I mean, it was idyllic.
I grew up in an area that was wooded.
Right after 1964, when the bridge was built, it was culture shock, even for, I guess at the time, a 14-year-old boy.
I lived in an area called Sunnyside and the Staten Island Expressway, which was built along with the bridge.
