Neil King, Jr. will present an overview of his Walk from Washington D.C to New York in the Spring of 2021. His Walk took him through many places and communities along the way including Perth Amboy and Raritan Yacht Club.

Mr. King’s book, “American Ramble, A Walk of Memory and Renewal” is “A Stunning Revelatory Memoir About a 330-Mile Walk from Washington, D.C. to New York City. It is an Unforgettable Pilgrimage to the Heart of America across some of our Oldest Common Ground.”

Mr. King comes to RYC via Stu Conway who ferried Mr. King from RYC to Tottenville, NY on April 22, 2021. Stu ran into Mr. King as he was looking for a way to cross to Staten Island as part of Mr. King’s journey. Since then Stu and Mr. King have continued their correspondence.
