BRATTLEBORO — RE: “Life is like a dumpling” [Essay, July 3]:
My brother, who's still in the New York City area, just told me that our old neighborhood (Bay Ridge) is also entirely Asian, as is the Episcopalian church we attended back in the '60s. All the families we knew - WASP, Scandinavian, Irish, Italian, Jewish - have moved away.
Change is inevitable. But we always have old Brooklyn in us. And I'm always surprised at how many Brattleburghers are from there.
P.S. Jerry Goldberg, if you need a knish recipe, email me.
