    "We are so thrilled and grateful for the interest and support of these three Staten Island Foundations, and for all those individuals who encouraged this endeavor and volunteered time and skills.  
        Sandy has shown us how fragile our city and our heritage can be.  Our book will help preserve this world for future generations, by guiding those, who after George Burke, will care for it."
