HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY FROM ROOSEVELT ISLAND


Happy Valentine's Day from Roosevelt Island.

We all know that Roosevelt Island is for lovers so what could be more fitting for today than this report from the San Luis Obispo Tribune of a Roosevelt Island Tram marriage proposal:
... in 2003, Jim Dorf proposed to Jodie Steele on a tram traveling above the East River.

Dorf and Steele had frequently used the tram to get to a tennis court on Roosevelt Island, where they met. After two years of dating, Dorf, of New York, decided to propose to Steele, a San Luis Obispo native who went to grad school in New York. As they sat in the tram, the lit-up Manhattan skyline providing a romantic backdrop, Dorf placed an engagement ring that once belonged to his grandmother on her finger and said, “I want to marry you.”

“I said, ‘Oh my God!’ about 20 times,” Steele recalled. “And then I said, ‘Yes!’ ”

There were roughly 15 strangers on the tram, Steele said, but she’s not sure anyone even noticed.
The two married in Times Square seven and a half years ago and now live in San Luis Obispo....
Tell someone that you love them today - or do it in a song.
