What a way to go
: This is the saddest New York scene I’ve seen in a long time: On a light pole at 23rd and 6th, some good soul has taped up bouquets of carnations with this sign:
In Loving Memory of
Betty Kapetanakas
Who Was Struck Down
On This Corner By A Garbage Truck
On July 29, 2002
Ms. Kapetanakas was a community leader.
I always said the most ignominious was I could imagine to die would be to be struck down by a speeding New York Post truck. This is worse.
