A favorite NYC landmark building of mine is located at West 44th Street 
and 5th Avenue.  It is the General Society of Mechanics and Tradesmen's 
home: a venerable 225 year old organization that promotes the trades.  
The Mechanics Institute and the General Society Library are significant components of the General Society's dedication to education and 
knowledge.  The superb Artisan Series, which brings to the public the 
art and craftsmanship the General Society wholeheartedly supports, and 
lectures regarding the building industry are  marvelous.  Like her 
father Past President Gerard A. Dengel (1982), current President 
Victoria Dengel works selflessly to increase the excellent standards of 
the General Society in every area of its scope.  I am proud to be a 
member of this remarkable Society.
