My guests on this episode are NY/NJ Port Authority manager and jazz vocalist, Steve Comity; and NYC Board of Education Administrator/Educator and Jazz drummer, pianist, percussionist and singer Eric Frazier.
Mr. Cromity poignantly relate his harrowing journey from the 73rd floor of the NY World Trade Center to safety after hearing the planes crash into the buildings on 9/11/2001. He did not realize the life threatening danger he was in while descending those steps. It is a truly gut wrenching, powerful experience to have in ones life.
Mr Fraizer talks about his experience being a Principal in the NY Board of Education school system. He was a remarkably focused educator that made a difference with his students and staff.
Both gentlemen got deeply entrenched in the New York jazz scene upon their retirement from their respective careers. It's a wonderful story about changing the downward trajectory of your life course, perseverance and setting goals, while being true to yourself. Enjoy!
