I'm pleased to share a beautiful message from Gary's longstanding friend, John Martin:
Garython 1.0 will be held this Saturday, October 26th. We will walk the entire length of Manhattan, from Northern Manhattan to the Battery (more or less), with ample stops at restaurants along the way. You can walk the entire route, which will be about 15 miles, or choose any number of the shorter segments.
We will be taking live photos and videos en route and transmitting them to a website where Gary will be able to see them and monitor our progress.
For more information, please email John at "Click here to e-mail John Martin", and include your mobile number. John will send you the final route and timetable, and you can choose where you would like to start. Most of the route is very close to #1 subway line, so it will be easy to get to and from any part of the route.
UPDATE!!
As of today, there are over 50 people walking in New York, and a dozen people elsewhere who will be walking in their cities. We plan to share photos and videos in real time during the walk via Twitter and Flickr.
If you would like to participate and have not already let John Martin know, please send email to "Click here for John's e-mail address" with your mobile number and t-shirt size, and he will send you the latest route and timetable. "
GARY'S CAMEO APPEARANCE: Gary intends to greet the walkers at the Firemen's Memorial on the Upper West Side, and hopefully at one of the other waypoints (where coffee is sold). Harini has offered to drive.

About twenty years ago... JOHN, ANDREA, and Gary shared an office together at NYNEX Science & Technology. Last Friday afternoon (Oct. 18th), they held a mini-reunion while Gary got his blood transfusion at Columbia-Presbyterian hospital. Below you can see how relaxed and happy he is to have these special visitors.

Andrea lives several hours north of the City and brought us those three, orchard-picked apples. They were delicious!
Beautiful! The ducks and I want to join in from the farm.
