Hi Barbara,
My mom has seen Gail but I think that it was many many years ago. My mom's name is Carol-Ann Kates. The Slutsky Family is huge-we are related by marriage as my maternal grandmother's sister married Ben Slutsky who owned the Fallsview. Barry lives in L.A. He is a professional musician (Drummer). I am familiar with Brooklyn Heights. I went to graduate school at NYU and worked for a bit right on COURT Street in Brooklyn Heights. So pretty there!!
