Inscriptions Typed on label (separate): 11/11/00 \ Dear Richard: \ In going through my files I came across this \ picture of one of the progress photos of the \ Verranzano bridge. I shot it from the Brooklyn \ side tower and as you can see the two cables \ for the main support of the roadway have been \ completed. Walking alongside these cables in a \ high wind could really make for an interesting \ experience. \ Hope this finds you well. \ As ever, \ Basil C. Levine [signed in blue ink]
