Here is a link to a really amazing video find. I hope some of you will download this YouTube video just in case it gets pulled one day.

Yes, I was hoping today to find something on YouTube related to the grand opening of Wollan Rink. I am dumbfounded to have found this clip.

Also be sure to read my link to the NYTimes editorial on Wollman that same day, which I just posted. Another great find.

Google search results of “November 13, 1986” and “Wollman” are extremely sparse. I am amazed so little information is out there.

I hope you preserve the text of the article & should probably download the video, too. Just an abundance of caution. Would be a shame if there was an accident or something with that interweb thingy.

Anyway, I'm new here, but I vote this as post of the year. Sent it everyone on my list...(hmmm I wonder if they know who I am now...)

Dan Rather can supply the vintage letterhead.

You find this good? Trump created an environment that precipitates spontaneous competition where children might get hurt.

the history channel or discovery or some such channel has been running a show called ‘the making of Donald trump’ that goes through his rise to power- failures, successes etc- has lots of video of him in his younger years-

Was quite interesting really-
