Ken, Mr Dinkins lived at Riverton during what period. Please tell us his building number. I was told it was10 East. My Friend, Ms. D.P said he resided in her apt. before she moved in.
Thanks,
Ron Myers
Ron, I'm sure Mr Dinkins made mention of his building during the course of the interview, but I haven't yet digested all of that material, so I don't know....Keith Wright could surely tell you.
As a new resident at Riverton, I stopped in at the NYPL last month to look up this information. In the white pages of the early 1960s, David N Dinkins was listed as a resident of 2200 Madison Avenue. His law office was listed at 401 Broadway.
