A LaGuardia Trippe Helped Save A Landmark

It is always significant when a plan comes together, butalso can be a gift like today, when Christmas & Hanukkah just came early.

Last week we were writing about a plan we discovered inworks by the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey to demolish much ofThe Marine Air Terminal (MAT) at LaGuardia You might recall that we saved thatbuilding in 1980 with Tim Peirce LGA Airport General Manager and both of us in1986 were honored with the highest award for Historic Preservation by USSecretary of Transportation Elizabeth H. Dole in Washington DC.

So here 39 years later comes word of impeding doom duringanother LGA Airport expansion ,even though MAT is designated a Landmark.
