The Scarsdale resident has set up a GoFundMe page to tell the story of a local Holocaust survivor and with that, to become a "Legacy Circle" member, meaning she will help educate her community about survivors' stories.

Yonkers Author Grapples With Faith & Reason In New 'Soul' Thriller YONKERS, N.Y. -- There's a lot of soul in "The Soul of the Matter," a debut novel by Yonkers Author Bruce Buff.

That was about seven suits ago and the rest is more or less history. The fact that Warren has a big white beard helps and looks a bit jolly helps. "Even in blue jeans, when I go into the City ar…
