He was rowed back across the river and died in a house on Jane Street in Greenwich Village. I learned this gem by stopping to look up at a plaque across from a Brownstone where I saw staying during a visit to the city. My first platoon sergeant in the First Cav Division, a Vietnam Vet, taught me to always look up. After all, he lost half his thigh to a sniper up in a tree.
