I don't know the correct year Jonathan Alter was born, but I'm certain it can't have been 1983. Does anyone know?165.176.123.2 (talk) 16:40, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

I found an article at http://www.njmonthly.com/issues/2007/05-May/coverstory/alter.htm which mentions 1957, confirming the 1957 births category:

The kitchen they kept radiates character: It has antique tile, wood paneling, exposed brick and a stove built in 1957—the year Alter was born. That stove, he points out, has produced “many fine turkeys.”

I've added this in with a reference. It's my first time using a footnote reference, and it may not be clear enough where in the article the information is. If anyone knows the best way to clarify this please do. Psionicman (talk) 17:22, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
