All, Please join us for a very special event with guest speaker, Michael Miscione, the Historian for the Borough of Manhattan. The next NY Map Society meeting will be February 12th at 2:30 pm. Our meeting place is the lower-level auditorium at the New York Public Library, 5th Avenue & 42nd Street. "The People v. Boyd: A Murder Trial That Nearly Redrew the Map of New York City" In 1984, an otherwise unremarkable murder case generated a startling legal decision that threw the long-standing boundary between New York and Bronx counties into question and threatened to wreak havoc with New York's criminal justice and electoral systems. Using historic images and videotaped interviews with the principal players in the story, Michael Miscione, the Manhattan Borough Historian, will examine this little-known ruling and its aftermath. Michael will welcome comments and questions at the end of his lecture. Heather Kinsinger, Secretary, NY Map Society _www.nymapsociety.org_ (http://www.nymapsociety.org) 914-498-9797
