YOUR SATISFACTION
ALWAYS COMES FIRST.
WE’LL NEVER STOP DOING OUR BEST.
We appreciate your patience as we work through these

challenging circumstances and take steps to safely get back to
full operations.
At Atlantic Broadband, we set out to deliver best-in-class

customer care. We understand that there have been instances
recently where some residents have experienced longer-than-
normal wait times when calling into our Customer Care team,
or when scheduling a technician to resolve in-home service
issues. We know that this can be frustrating and are working
diligently to address this.
With respect to the reopening of the Atlantic Broadband

Cable Store at Century Village, we continue to monitor
reported COVID-19 cases in the South Florida region to
determine when we will be able to reopen. In the meantime,
we are working on risk mitigation efforts that will not only
ensure your safety as our customer, but also the safety of our
team members. As we get closer to reopening, we will be sure
to provide you with complete details.
We look forward to serving the community of Century

Village this summer and we hope to see you soon.
Sincerely,
The Atlantic Broadband Team

Lou Gehrig: The Lost Memoir

The by Lou Gehrig, Alan D. Gaff
Reader’s
I miss baseball this year. So, when I saw this book the form of newspaper columns that a man had him

Corner
The first half of this book was written by Gehrig in sioned to write a series of 30 columns for the Oakland
Tribune, giving his thoughts on the unfolding pennant
race (there wasn't one) and the rigors of the eventual
World Series (the Yankees swept), as well as giving the
fans a chance to get to know him better. The second
BY LENORE half was a biography written by Alan D. Gaff, and told
VELCOFF of his poor beginnings, his high school and Columbia
University careers, and his home run derby with Babe
Ruth. To be able to read Gehrig in his own words de-
scribing his own career - not the posthumous glori-
fied Hollywood version - is fascinating. Alan Gaff un-
earthed this series of newspaper columns young Gehrig
wrote and felt it added an important dimension to the
athlete's story.
It was written during the season while he was a
member of the famed Murderers' Row. He wrote about
his life, his family and playing baseball for the Yankees
(if you want to learn the game, "keep your mouth shut,
and your eyes and ears open"). It was fascinating to read
his take on some of the legends of the game: Ty Cobb,
Miller Huggins and of course, Babe Ruth. I appreciated
the insight into the character and personality of Geh-
rig. Most are familiar for his name being attached to
ALS, from which he died. That gives me a soft spot for
him, but I love the game of baseball and enjoyed hear-
ing about players who were his contemporaries.
I truly enjoyed the photographs, some of which I
have never seen before. This is a definite read for any
fan of the New York Yankees and Lou Gehrig.
