Over a 37-year career at the Port Authority the one memory that is a constant are the numerous individuals that I got to know over those years. At that time it was like a family and hence the phrase “Mother PONYA.” I went to a number of weddings, kids’ birthdays and get-togethers.

Even today some of these relationships have continue into retirement. The Port Authority afforded you the opportunity to work on projects that you may never had the a chance in the private sector. I was fortunate to work on a variety of projects ranging from the revitalization of the Port Authority Bus Terminal in the mid-Nineties, the sale of the World Trade Center, JetBlue Terminal 5 and Port Newark Container Terminal the largest private investment deal at Port Newark to name a few. Where else could you get these opportunities?
