Come tomorrow, September 10, 2013, a native of my city of Cambridge is likely to be elected mayor of America’s largest city, New York.  Bill De Blasio is also a graduate of our public high school, Cambridge Rindge and Latin, in the class of 1979.

Looming six feet, six inches tall, De Blasio did not challenge his schoolmate Patrick Ewing in basketball the way he has apparently met the challenge of many other candidates for mayor.

 If the polls prove to be right and De Blasio wins, one can perhaps expect some celebrative action in Cambridge and its top school. As a supporter off civic pride, I will take some pleasure in the outcome (unless Bill imitates Mitt Romney.)
