If you wanted to visit the wall, you'd walk into the front door,0:17peel off to the right up a short flight of stairs to the first short hallway. Looking at the0:22photographs, you may recognize the wall on the right. You may want to ask for permission first.0:26This is Frank Bonomo. He was drawn in November of 2001. His drawing is counting ten people.0:35Needless to say, things are still very tense around here.0:39I learned how that can manifest itself back on 39th Street, so I'm trying to keep a low profile and not trumpet my efforts.0:46On this street, my path leads me across from the police station.0:49Not wanting to make their job stranger than it already is, I looked for the least conspicuous place I could find to draw.0:56I found a raw space and their sign invited me in to tape and then film.1:01There were various dance classes going on in adjacent rooms.1:05I found my first blank wall and started drawing, said hello to everyone that passed, wrapped up my figure, documented, and was on my way.1:14The inside will be nice in the winter.1:16Even when he came home bone-tired from fighting fires and running a family video business,1:21Frank J. Bonomo mustered the energy to fashion a putting green alongside his ranch-style house in Port Jefferson, New York.1:28His friends at the firehouse remember his great sense of humor.1:31He was a devoted family man, said Ted C.
