THINGS are not as they seem in the 14th-floor apartment on upper Fifth Avenue. At first blush the family that occupies it looks to be very much of a type. The father, Steven B. Klinsky, 52, runs a private equity company; the mother, Maureen Sherry, 44, left her job as a managing director for Bear Stearns to raise their four young children (two boys and two girls); and the dog, LuLu, is a soulful Lab mix rescued from a pound in Louisiana.NYT
i love scavenger hunts. we did them at christmas when i was growing up: look for your big present by following clues around the house and yard. i put together a scavenger hunt for my wife on one of our first christmas'.
so i should be likely to think that this is really cool, but it just reminds me that - good news?! - even in tough times, some people in the financial sector still have money to burn.
Hah, that's about where my comment was headed Steven.
What I love about it is how in 100 years someone might "rediscover" it and think it's amazing. Although since it's been covered in this article - I think most old mysteries were kept mysterious by their creators, not published in the NYTimes - doing research on it may not be so difficult!
It's a shame that Foer was too busy to help partake. He could have created an interesting parallel between his scavenger hunt and the one taken by Oskar Schell.
