To the Editor:
We are cooperators living in the Amalgamated Houses, a limited equity, affordable housing co-op, at the edge of Van Cortlandt Park. This diverse, vibrant community is on the brink of bankruptcy and foreclosure.
The Amalgamated Houses and the larger Jerome Park community is mourning the recent death of Cecilia “Ceci” Greene at the age of 91. Friends have offered an outpouring of tributes to the German immigrant who grew up during and survived the Nazi occupation only to seek and find lifelong friends and a better life in America. Greene died on Jan. 23.
