The New York Society of Model Engineers (NYSME) was originally incorporated in 1926 in New York City.
 There are published records that show the Society existed as early as 1905.
 In its early years, the organization moved to and from various locations throughout Manhattan.
 AT that time it was basically a gentlemen's club of members who were interested in all types of model building.
 In 1926 the Society was formalized and incorporated under the laws of the State of New York.
 This was done so that the Society could obtain a permit to use a lake in New York City's Central Park for model motor boat races.
 It was also at this time that the Society began construction of its first Model Railroad " The Union Connecting".
 Over the next twenty years, the Society moved from its original location to two other locations.
 Each move doubling the size of the previous location and of course doubling the size of the model train layout.
 During WW2 many Society members were called to service in the Armed Forces.
 Regrettably, the largest of the layouts had to be dismantled.
 The location of the layout in the basement of the Astor Building was requested for the war effort.
 The dismantling was done with care, with salvaged usable materials going into scrap drives for the War effort.
 As members returned after the War a new location was searched for.
 This led to an invitation from the Lackawanna Railroad to move into their Passenger Terminal in Hoboken,NJ.
 They had the space for what would become the largest model railroad in the world at that time.
 The space?
 Only the ornate waiting room for the recently discontinued ferry boats to 23rd Street in New York City.
 Here the layout was built.
 It was based on the Lackawanna Railroad from Hoboken to Scranton, Pa.
 It was magnificent; from the scale model of the Hoboken Terminal to the soaring Delaware Water Gap.
 During the early-1950s the organization moved to its current location in Carlstadt, New Jersey.

Katherine Oliver is an American media and entertainment executive based in New York City.
 Oliver is currently a Principal at Bloomberg Associates, a philanthropic consultancy firm founded by Michael Bloomberg to provide advice and long-term solutions to cities worldwide.
 On August 1, 2002, she was appointed by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg as the Commissioner of The New York City Mayor's Office of Film, Theatre and Broadcasting, which facilitates all aspects of film, television and commercial production in New York City, coordinating on-location filming, liaising with the community and promoting the City as an entertainment capital.

 In 2013, Oliver and Mayor Bloomberg were featured on the cover of Variety and were credited for their role in "revitalizing the city's entertainment sector."
 An economic impact study released by the Boston Consulting Group in 2012 found that New York City's entertainment industry during Oliver's tenure as film commissioner had grown to account for a $7.1 billion annual direct spend in New York City, an increase of $2 billion since 2002, and that the local industry created 30,000 jobs in New York City since 2004, growing to employ 130,000 people.
 AM New York noted that: "New York's film and TV industry is stronger than it has ever been, pumping $7.1 billion into the local economy in 2011 and bringing in some $60 billion over the last decade."
 After Bloomberg announced that former president and co-founder of NYC Media Group Arick Wierson was returning to the private sector, Bloomberg named Oliver as the incoming president of NYC Media and general manager of NYCTV.
 In July 2010, Oliver became the commissioner of the Mayor's Office of Media and Entertainment, the city agency that includes the Mayor's Office of Film, Theatre and Broadcasting, NYC Media, and NYC Digital.

A Mayor's Life: Governing New York's Gorgeous Mosaic is the autobiography of New York City's 106th mayor, David N. Dinkins, co-authored with Peter Knobler.
 Published in 2013 by PublicAffairs Books, the autobiography recounts the life and career of David Norman Dinkins, who defeated Ed Koch and Rudy Giuliani to become mayor of New York. "
The New York Times" called it a "moving... inspiring account of New York's first black mayor."
 Set against the backdrop of the rise of Harlem's influence on city politics, which produced several state and national black leaders and energized the base that ultimately led to the election of President Barack Obama, "A Mayor's Life" deals with Dinkins' childhood in Trenton, NJ, his service in the U.S. Marine Corps, his education at Howard University and Brooklyn Law School, his political career beginning at the Carver Democratic Club and moving through jobs as City Clerk and Manhattan borough president to his election as mayor.
 Dinkins discusses his administration's successes, including an historic decrease in the city's crime rate; the cleanup of Times Square; the restoration of dilapidated housing in Northern Harlem, the South Bronx and Brooklyn; the deal to keep the US Tennis Open in New York City, which Mayor Michael Bloomberg has called "the only good athletic sports stadium deal, not just in New York but in the country"; and the hosting of Nelson Mandela on the South African diplomat's first international visit after being freed from prison.
 He also discusses its difficulties.
