Just received the following e-mail, addressed to me and Lincoln:

Dear Marie and Lincoln,

After much planning and hard work, Nina Gunther-Segal has finally been successful in her bid to name Pale Male as the official PS6 School Mascot. She asked me to invite you both to the official ceremony, to take place on the steps of PS6 ...
Note: PS 6 is an excellent public elementary school on New York's upper East Side, located not far from Central Park and Pale Male & Lola's nest. [MW]

Principal Dan Feigelson, School Librarian Kim Bader and Nina have worked together on the project and will unveil a plaque which will be permanently affixed to the facade of the school building. Inspired by Lincoln's photography, the plaque depicts Pale Male with accompanying text by Nina -- a lasting testament to the importance and vitality of the Central Park "classroom".
