I'm writing to tell you some very sad news. Carole Schaffer,
the wonderful woman who put together the fabulous Lefferts Manor house
tour for SO MANY years died yesterday at New York Presbyterian hospital.
While death was not expected, Carole had been on-and-off ailing for a
several years. Her husband Arthur is now at home at 72 Midwood Street.
The funeral service, then burial graveside service, are planned for this Sunday (October 19) at eleven a.m. in
a chapel at Green-Wood Cemetery (guards at gates at Fifth Avenue and
25th Street will give you directions). John Musco (who lives on Rutland
Road) will preside as he is a deacon at Grace Episcopal...Amy Cunningham
will be the funeral director. Please come!
Carole
will be impossible to replace. She did so much for the neighborhood and
was open to everybody. A truly lovely, committed and hard-working
lady. She loved this neighborhood so much and knew every inch of it.

This is a great tribute to Carole, she will be missed greatly. She was a wonderful woman and leader.
