The Son of Sam’s Paperboy…

A friend of mine from THE WELL, used to be Son of Sam’s paperboy.

Berkowitz, the .44 Caliber Killer,
the Son of Sam, who killed five
women and one man in New York
City between July 1976 and his
capture on August 10, 1977, lived
around the corner from my house

house in the middle of Hudson Terrace. Go down Warburton
Avenue with the Hudson River on your right until you come to
the planetarium, where Shonnard Place intersects Warburton.
