POSITRACTION: Snowflakes about life
http://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/in-paper-snowflakes-iowa-family-found-answer-to-prayer
In paper snowflakes, Iowa family found answer to prayer
By Celine Klosterman
*** begin quote ***
Davenport, Iowa, May 15, 2010 / 01:29 pm (CNA).- Keith Bonnstetter
believes God gave him a gift that helped his family during a difficult
time. Now, he often uses that gift to capture milestones in other
families’ lives.
A member of St. Paul the Apostle Parish in Davenport, Bonnstetter has
for 10 years run a business cutting personalized paper snowflakes
highlighting the hobbies, faith, family or other features of
recipients’ lives.
But the Spanish teacher at Bettendorf High School says his creations
are “just pieces of paper” unless he tells the story of how
he started making them.
That story involves a journey of faith and a medical struggle with his
daughter, Claire, now 14, who began suffering medical problems in the
early months of her life. Her gross motor skills were delayed; she
didn’t sit alone until two weeks before her first birthday and
couldn’t walk without a walker at nearly age 4.
*** end quote ***
[JR: Interesting how things work out in this case. While every one's
mileage may vary, we need to take inspiration along the way. Like gas
into a car, we need these examples to make a go of it. Not to duplicate
or imitate, but to adapt to life as it hits us. After all, we are ALL
"walking backward into the future". Be nice not to trip.]

MFOUND: MC acted to back Coach Wooden’s righteous action in 1948
http://goo.gl/P0qt
A Tribute to Coach John Wooden from Pat Williams in “How to Be Like Coach Wooden”:
*** begin quote ***
That was the year a young coach by the name of Wooden had put together
a pretty good basketball team at Indiana State University. That team
included a young many by the name of Clarence Walker. Walker
wasn’t one of the starting five, but he came off the bench to
help Indiana State win an invitation to the NAIA basketball tournament
in Kansas City. Thirty-two teams were invited, and one of them would
emerge as the small-college national champion.
But there was a problem.
Walker was black.
Remember that this was just the year after Jackie Robinson joined the
Brooklyn Dodgers and was subjected to death threats and verbal abuse
for breaking the “color barrier” in Major League Baseball.
Racism was rampant in Indiana and most of the rest of the nation.
Tournament officials called Wooden and told him that his team was
invited, but Walker wasn’t. “We’ve never had a black
person play on the Kansas City Municipal Auditorium floor,” they
said – only they didn’t say “black person.”
Now that tournament was a big deal, especially to a young man just
starting out in his coaching career. But John Wooden didn’t even
have to think about it.
“If I can’t bring Clarence, we’re not coming,” he said.
Fine. Indiana State was disinvited from the tournament. That’s
where the story might have ended, except for the fact that the national
news wires got wind of the story. An article appeared in the New York
Times, and it came to the attention of officials at Manhattan College,
the consensus pick to win the tournament that year. Manhattan’s
coach called the NAIA offices and said, “If Indiana State
can’t come with that young man, we’re not coming
either.”
Faced with the loss of their biggest draw, tournament officials backed
down, and Clarence Walker became the first black to play basketball on
the floor of Kansas City’s municipal Auditorium.
*** end quote ***
[JR: Swelling with pride at the actions of our Alma Mater, I wonder if
we can live up to that legacy. Reminds me of Franz
Jägerstätter; just do what you think is right, regardless of
the current consequences. History will judge you well.]

Remembrance: Nagle, John [MC1956MCxfac RIP]
June 07, 2010
John and I went back a long way, over 60 years. we were grade school
classmates at St. Pius school in the south bronx when it was stil run
by the Dominican nuns. ( sadly it shut its doors a few years ago
because of diocese budget problems.) It was an exciting school and
neighborhood. I recall being at John’s apartment many times
probably to study or visit. A third friend called I think larry donohue
was often with us. I do remember fondly his mother and father, a kind ,
gracious and caring couple. They alway treated us well. I don’t
recall his sisters and brothers but am glad as a fellow South Bronxer
that you they seem to have done well. then we both went off to Regis.
John was the outstanding English student and recognized as such even by
Mr. Horchler our English teacher. As larry boland noted , John even
tutored his fellow students. the surviving graduating class was barely
over a humdred students so we came to know one another well.. John was
always very well liked, smart and a good guy to be with . He never had
an unkind word about any one and no one ever had an unkind word about
him. No small achievment at St Pius and Regis. We both went our
separate ways to college (catholic of course since Regis then would
send a transcript only to a catholic college or military academy.)Sadly
we lost touch. John was a special person. one of those rare persons you
regretably wish you had seen more of, kept in touch with. His death is
a deep loss.

As a student at Regis High School John was unique. No one was more
well-read than he. As we prepared for the College Entrance Exam (CEEB)
John conducted a crash course for his fellow Seniors giving a synopsis
of as many books as we were able to absorb. I believe he was PhD
material in 1952. I too graduated from Manhattan with him, but from the
School of Engineering. He left a great mark on the College.

I will always remember the infectious laughter and enthusiasm of a
boyish John Nagle in the late 1960s. He was a mainstay of a very fine
English Department at Manhattan for decades.
Many of us felt cheated when Professor Nagle won a Danforth Fellowship
to complete his dissertation and we missed him for the medieveal
literature theme course. He exemplified the fine teaching of Manhattan
College of that era.

recollect your Milton and Spenser courses. May you rest in peace.

I cannot begin to tell you what a wonderful person your brother John
was and what an influence he had on me while in college. I am blessed
to have been able to call him a friend and to have learned so much from
him over the years. He always had a smile and a laugh to share and I
will miss him dearly. Betsy Morris, Manhattan 1987
~ Elizabeth Morris, Spring Lake, New Jersey

May 12, 2010
I am so sorry for your loss. I was one of Dr. Nagle’s students
and also had the pleasure of being a colleague for several years when I
was an administrator on campus. I posted this sad news on my page on
Facebook yesterday since I keep in touch with a number of Jaspers that
way. So many have written under that post about how Dr. Nagle truly
touched their lives. This was my post: “This RIP is much closer
to home. John D. Nagle, Ph.D., one of the most amazing professors I had
while at Manhattan College, died. Jack intertwined wisdom and wit
seamlessly. Very few students ended the semester unchanged as a writer
or young adult for that matter.” May the knowledge that he was
special to so many help during this difficult time.
~ Patrice Athanasidy, Cortlandt Manor, New York

We shot Taylor and Sylvester’s wedding this past memorial day
weekend. I have been looking forward to their wedding day for quite
some time now. Taylor and Sly were referred to me by a mutual friend.
How could I possibly refuse?
The ceremony was held at the Manhattan College Chapel. The reception was held at the Surf Club in New Rochelle. Here are a few favorites from their day.

[JR: Pictures are stunning. Couple of technical comments. Kvetches
really. But, it is funny to see a wedding in the MC chapel. DOn’t
think of it host suck events. But the question, my big question, are
they alums? One? Both? Neither? But the pictures make me envious of
their youth. The campus came out looking good too. Memories!]

*** and ***
Jim Avery, the man responsible for keeping the lights on in San Diego, says he likes solar power.
As senior vice president of power supply for San Diego Gas &
Electric, he was showing off two innovative technologies last week for
turning sunlight into electricity. One uses the heat of the sun to run
a helium-filled engine. The other concentrates rays onto tiny but
highly efficient photovoltaic panels.
Avery, an electrical engineer, touted solar’s promise for
providing a big chunk of the region’s power supply without
producing greenhouse gases.
It’s a significant goal. California utilities are under a
requirement to provide a third of the power they deliver to customers
from renewable sources like solar, wind, geothermal and methane from
rotting garbage and sewage.
For Avery, however, this isn’t simply a target to aim for. As the
guy who has to crunch the numbers and make sure SDG&E has enough
power to meet the needs of its customers and the requirements of
regulators, the requirement is a goal he has to hit.

Best Answer – Chosen by Voters
Good for you. The question is which “manhattan college”?
If it’s my alma mater, the Manhattan College, manhattan.edu,
(Yeah, in the Bronx), call or drop into the “nerd herd”.
Those folks will get you headed in the right direction. Office of
Computer Services; Reseach and Learning Center; Room 101; Hours of
Operation: Monday-Friday 9:00 am – 4:30 pm Phone: (718) 862-7424
If it’s not my alma mater, I am SURE that your MC has something similar.
You’re in college now. You have to be aggressive. Seek out your own answers. Form your own questions.
Go to the admissions office and grab someone (figuratively) and
don’t let go until you get the answer. If you’re confused,
pretend you’re in the military and grab the Chaplin. They have
all the answers.
Remember: It’s the size of the bucket; not the depth of the well,
that determines how much water you carry away. You have to do the heavy
lifting to get every penny’s worth of dikw (i.e., data,
information, knowledge, wisdom) you paid for!
Good luck!

http://www.registerstar.com/articles/2010/06/08/obituaries/doc4c0db6a76354d915782052.txt
George Lissandrello
Published: Tuesday, June 8, 2010 2:12 AM EDT
George Joseph Lissandrello, a resident of Pacific Palisades,
California, passed away on June 4 with his family by his side after a
yearlong battle with cancer. He was 72 years old.
Born in Brooklyn, George attended Brooklyn Tech and relocated to
Catskill with his family for his senior year at Catskill High School.
He went on to graduate with a BEE from Manhattan College
and promptly began a successful career in telecommunications. He worked
for IBM for many years and traveled extensively around the world for
his work. He lived in Japan, France, England and Switzerland — to
name but a few. He was one of the founders of the Pacific
Telecommunications Conference started in 1978, which continues to this
day. He was also a lifetime member of IEEE, the largest professional
association for the advancement of technology. More recently, he worked
as an entrepreneur and consultant. His words and work have impacted
many lives and continue to influence people around the world.
George moved to the Palisades from Hawaii in 2003 and quickly became
part of the local scene. If you’ve been there you may have met
him at the Tivoli or Kay N’ Dave’s or a Chamber of Commerce
event. Perhaps you’ve even seen him sing and dance at the Legion
or Corpus Christi senior events. He has loved performing since his 20s
and has been active in the theatre since then, starting with the Coach
House Players in Kingston. In the Palisades Theatre he appeared in
numerous productions including “A View from the Bridge,”
“Plaza Suite” and “Anything Goes.” He was a
member of the Corpus Christi Parish, Pacific Palisades Republican
Party, Pacific Palisades Tennis Club and an honorary member of the
local American Legion Chapter.
He was a force to be reckoned with and always had a story to tell. He
was a man full of life, songs, and lively debate — all done with
a twinkle in the eye. He touched many people’s lives whether
through work, family or simply meeting a stranger on the street. He had
the gift of the gab and could learn your life story in less than 15
minutes — trust us on this. He was an avid fisherman visiting
Ireland, Scotland, the Bahamas and Alaska but always returning to his
beloved Catskill Mountains in New York. He was well loved and a good
man.
George is survived by his wife June, his daughters Nicole and Joy,
their husbands Dennis and Mark, and grandsons William and Jack. He is
also survived by his 94 year-old mother Connie, his sisters, Joyce and
Joan, their husbands Ed and Joe; and his brother, John with his long
term companion Tammy.
A funeral service will be held at Corpus Christi Church in Pacific
Palisades, California on Saturday, June 19 at 11 a.m. He will then
travel back east where there will be a funeral Mass at Sacred Heart
Church in Palenville on Friday, June 25 at 11 a.m. followed by
interment in the Palenville Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, you may make a donation in his name to the St.
Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital or your favorite cancer
fighting organization.
If you have a memory or picture of George to share, we ask you to please go to http://george.lissandrello.muchloved.com to keep his memory for all those that loved him and for future generations of the family.
Local funeral arrangements are under the direction of Richards Funeral Home, 29 Bross St., Cairo.

JOBIT: Santaniello, Salvatore Robert [MC1950 RIP]
http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/theday/obituary.aspx?page=lifestory&pid=143441171
Salvatore Robert Santaniello
Mystic – Salvatore Robert Santaniello, 82, of Mystic, passed away Monday, June 7, 2010, at the Apple Rehab of Mystic.
Sal was born in Providence, on May 21, 1928. He was the son of Gilda (Palmieri) and James Santaniello Sr.
He married Mary Mahar on May 7, 1955, in Providence.
He graduated with a degree in electrical engineering from Manhattan College in New York City in 1950, and served in the U.S. Army from 1954 to 1956.
Sal began his employment at the Navy’s Underwater Sound
Laboratory (USN/USL) in 1951 and retired in 1986 from what was then
renamed the Naval Underwater Systems Center. During his 35-year career,
he made significant contributions to the field of underwater acoustics
as both a researcher and scientific supervisor. He authored more than
50 publications on his technical studies as well as directing and
guiding numerous environmental acoustic and sonar research and
development programs. Both as a scientific project leader and a branch
head, he was a nurturing and caring mentor to the many young scientists
and engineers who worked with/or for him, successfully guiding and
counseling many such that they went on to earn scientific career
distinction in their own right. Upon his retirement, in recognition of
the volume, originality, and quality of his technical accomplishments,
he was presented with the laboratory’s prestigious Decibel Award.
Following his retirement from civil service, he joined the
Washington-based firm of Planning Systems, Inc. (PSI). At PSI, he
continued to perform sonar research under contracts with the Navy for
several more years, additionally serving as the manager of PSIs New
London office.
Sal enjoyed coaching both Little League and Babe Ruth in Mystic, as
well as Miss Softball America. His favorite interests included playing
the piano, carpentry, vegetable gardening, and wine making. He was also
a member of the Knights of Columbus.
Besides his wife, Mary, he is survived by his brother, V. James
Santaniello; a sister, Margaret Iacono. He is also survived by his son,
James Santaniello and his wife, Shelly, of Needham, Mass., and three
daughters, Patricia Beffa-Negrini and her husband, David, of Nelson,
N.H., Joanne Santaniello of Newport, R.I., and Karen Brender and her
husband, Scott, of Kirkland, Wash. He is survived by six grandchildren,
Shannon Kelly, Michael, Nicholas, and Kathryn Santaniello, and Samantha
and Hanna Brender.
He was predeceased by a sister, Marie Bishop.
His family would like to thank all the caregivers, doctors, and nurses
who have helped them and treated Sal with kindness and respect.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that contributions be made to
the Visiting Nurse Association of Southeastern Connecticut, 403 N.
Frontage Road, Waterford CT 06385, Beacon Hospice, 12 Roosevelt Ave.,
Mystic CT 06355; and/or the Joslin Diabetes Center at Lawrence &
Memorial Hospital, New London.
His family will greet relatives and friends from 5 to 7 p.m. on Friday
at The Dinoto Funeral Home, 17 Pearl St., historic downtown Mystic. A
Funeral Mass will be celebrated at 11 a.m. on Saturday at St. Patrick
Church, East Main St., Mystic, with burial following at St. Patrick
Cemetery.

remembrance/condolence with his family, please visit

JEMAIL: McCarra-Fitzpatrick, MaryAnn (MC1989) calls for parents’ autism stories
RE: My Child Always: Stories of Hope and Inspiration
http://www.mychildalways.blogspot.com
This is my call for submissions for a volume I am planning to edit.
I am the mother of a disabled child. In ten short years I have
experienced emotional highs and lows that I was, in many ways,
unprepared for. While motherhood, in many respects, has not been the
journey I envisioned and expected, it has, nonetheless, been a rich and
deeply rewarding experience.
I think that we mothers of differently-abled children have been given a
great gift–to see through the eyes of our children a world which,
though it may present difficulties, can also, when those difficulties
are surmounted, be graced with those transformative moments when we see
our children achieve milestones and develop in ways we may have thought
impossible.
After all is said and done, after the therapists have written and filed away their reports, we know our children best.
I would like to hear your stories and possibly include them in a volume
tentatively entitled “My Child Always: Stories of Hope and
Inspiration.”
We all have a story to tell, stories which may help to give strength to
other mothers, fathers, caregivers, and siblings during those moments
of struggle we know all too well.
It’s meant to be a series of essays….which I will
edit…..written by parents….showing autism from the
parental perspective (not the perspective of doctors or therapists,
which is thoroughly covered in the literature already).
Parents have a unique perspective on their children….it is my intention to “tap into” this perspective.
Essays (chapters) should, ideally, be 6000 words in length and deal
with the parental/familial experience of autism, from diagnosis to
different interventions….the challenges families
experience….and the transformative moments that sometimes happen
when we least expect them.
If you would like to submit your story for possible inclusion in the
volume please contact me at the address/email below and I will provide
the submission guidelines.
I look forward to hearing from you!!
All best,
MaryAnn

MNEWS: MC repsonds to unruly student complaints
http://riverdalepress.com/full.php?sid=12697¤t_edition=2010-06-10
To the editor:
We are writing in response to recent letters to the editor concerning
the presence of Manhattan College students in the community. The
college values our long-standing relationship within the local
community, one that we have been a part of since 1923. The core of our
mission is a commitment to providing a quality educational experience
and to develop in each student an awareness to social issues and a deep
respect for others. We are always concerned about the behavior of our
students whether on or off campus. The offices of the dean of students
and residence life have and will continue to follow up with students
who have had any negative impact on the community.
We regret that some of our of students, as you pointed out, have been
disruptive to their Riverdale neighbors. Incidents around Overlook
Manor on West 238th Street are particularly challenging because it is
difficult to pinpoint whether our students or local students who also
frequent local businesses are involved. Here is how we are approaching
this concern:
Security has been directed to step up its presence on the neighborhood
streets near Overlook (specifically Waldo and Greystone avenues, and
West 238th Street). While they cannot officially “patrol”
offcampus, they have and will continue to demonstrate the
college’s attention to our students’ conduct and our
concern for their safety. Security officers report inappropriate
behavior to the NYPD’s 50th Precinct. Our goal is to deter
unwanted behaviors and to improve the response time to the incidents
that actually get reported.
Exterior Checks: Resident Assistants (student staff) have been
conducting exterior patrols around the Overlook building itself. They
have been trained to pay special attention to activity on the balconies
(no one is allowed to use these after 10 p.m.) and the fire escapes
(these are completely off-limits except for emergency use). The RAs
also check the sidewalks and the entrance to the parking garage at the
rear of the building. When the RAs observe anything unusual or
inappropriate, they are to immediately notify security in the Overlook
Manor lobby. While the RAs and security have no authority over other
groups gathering on the street, we can report loud noise and incidents
to NYPD.
Cleaning up the damage: When students are found responsible for
inappropriate conduct in or around Overlook, they will be subject to
the Manhattan College code of conduct. While continuing the
college’s alcohol education programs and other judicial
protocols, we can also require students to participate in group
clean-up projects to benefit the neighborhood. We want to send a
consistent message to all of our students that it is our expectation
that good community relations be maintained and good citizenship be
demonstrated.
Further cooperation with the 50th Precinct Council: As you may know,
there is a monthly meeting of the local community council. Routinely
members of the Manhattan College administration attend to monitor any
MC-related topics and offer immediate support. It is largely a forum
for citizens to ask the police leadership about major ongoing problems
as well as minor incidents.
We hope you’ll agree this is an ongoing issue that many schools
face and one that the college takes seriously. For the long-term
solution, we need a strong partnership with our individual neighbors
and with the 50th Precinct to promote the message that Manhattan
College does not excuse irresponsible and disrespectful behavior, and
that we need neighbors to call NYPD if they witness anything
inappropriate.
Manhattan College remains committed to addressing this issue and to
maintaining our partnership with the Riverdale community that we value
so highly. We will continue to provide to all our students, both on and
off campus, a nurturing and caring educational experience so they will
grow to become responsible members of their communities.
Thank you.

JFOUND: Fusco, Cono [MC1964] retired from Grant Thornton
http://utepdevelopmentcenter.blogspot.com/2010/06/committee-for-economic-development.html
Cono Fusco
Partner (Retired)
Grant Thornton
Cono Fusco M.B.A. ’67 was elected a partner of Grant Thornton LLP
on August 1, 1973. Throughout his 34 years as a partner, and 40 years
in total with Grant Thornton, he has been viewed by colleagues as a
successful, high impact leader. His career has spanned virtually all
aspects of firm operations including: client service; office, regional
and national managing partner positions; Senior and National Leadership
Team; and Partnership Board member.
During his career, he created and led Grant Thornton’s Merger and
Practice Integration strategy – the height of which was the
successful integration of 600 former employees of Arthur Andersen
including 60 partners. It resulted in a 24 percent increase in
firm’s personnel and partner headcount at the time. More
recently, he had been named among the 100 Most Influential People in
Corporate Governance by Directorship Magazine. He is a frequent speaker
at various conferences and seminars sponsored by business groups, the
accounting profession and academic institutions.
Mr. Fusco’s mother was, in his words, an original
“women’s libber.” She worked as a bookkeeper in a
private furniture business. Her sister (Cono’s aunt) was also a
bookkeeper at a food importing company. Mr. Fusco remembers that these
women spoke with reverence about the Certified Public Accountant who
came in to review the business’ books. It was then that Mr. Fusco
first considered a career in public accounting.
As an undergraduate, he went to Manhattan College.
He lived at school, but off the main campus for the first year and
“day hopped” thereafter until graduation. Starting out in
Manhattan’s engineering program, he switched his major to
business after the first year. Married in June of 1964, he finished his
degree that same summer, and began his professional career in September.
He took a job at a local accounting firm – a job he considered to
be an internship while waiting for entry into graduate school. During
the course of the next nine months, he learned everything he could
about the business and accounting. “To me, beginning a career in
public accounting was like a decision not to decide. There are so many
avenues to explore, and one doesn’t necessarily have to
specialize immediately. In many ways, it was like going to college. I
didn’t have to declare a major (right away).”
Living in Queens at the time, Mr. Fusco learned about Adelphi
University’s School of Business. He started in the graduate
program in September 1965 – as a full-time student, he took
classes in the afternoons and early evenings. To pay for his education,
he took odd jobs: as a service station attendant; parking cars; and
finally as a controller for a family seafood restaurant in Queens.
According to Mr.Fusco, he “learned enough about accounting at
that job to know which end of the pencil to grab.”
Upon completing his M.B.A. at Adelphi in 1967, he had a number of job
offers, and accepted a position with Grant Thornton, LLP (nee Alexander
Grant & Co.). He knew that by taking an additional six credits in
accounting he would qualify to sit for the CPA exam one year earlier.
He took those additional two courses, earned a second concentration in
accounting, and then passed the exam with only two years of experience
versus three as then required by law.
“Sometimes,” Mr. Fusco recalls, “the best decisions
are the ones that you never make.” In 1968, a partner at
Alexander Grant by the name of Hugh Reed left the firm to join Richard
A. Eisner, a new start up accounting firm. Cono was recruited heavily
to join Reed, and recalls that the offer they made “turned my
head.” Knowing that he needed to finish an assignment at Grant,
he was prepared to leave three weeks later. But he had a change of
heart, and was given the opportunity to get into the technical side
(review department/quality assurance) of the business. When Mr. Fusco
was at the company for three years, he was promoted to manager –
a track that usually took eight to ten years to achieve.
In March 1972, Mr. Fusco was asked to go out to Grant’s National
Office in Chicago to write a training program on internal control in
connection with a proposed revision to the firm’s standard audit
program. At the time, he was told it might take two weeks.
“Technically, we were very good, but our process was not as good.
There was sand in our gears.” Ultimately he became part of the
team that completed the re-write of the audit program. A project that
was supposed to take two weeks took four months to complete.
“I think there are certain types of people who go into
accounting. Generally speaking, they are quantitative as opposed to
qualitative. However, the most successful accountants, in my opinion,
have the ability to transition from quantitative thinkers into
qualitative thinkers.”
Mr. Fusco offers an important word of advice for current Adelphi
students majoring in accounting: “Success does not begin or end
with the global six firms, no more so than the only good education you
can get is at an Ivy-league school. If you don’t join one of the
bigger firms, don’t feel like you’ve failed before
you’ve started.”
Now in retirement, he holds two trustee positions: one with The
Economic Club of New York, and the other with The Committee for
Economic Development. In addition, in the “next chapter” of
his professional career, he hopes to put his 40 years of accounting and
business experience to work – this time, as a director on the
boards of a few select large cap or mid cap companies.

11 JUNE 2010
No Political Correctness Here
*** begin quote ***
But there was one small section of the museum about the Pacific War
that stood out to me. Only because in this day and age of overblown
Political Correctness, I was somewhat surprised that the Curators
allowed it.
There is a good 4-5 minute walk within the museum dedicated to Japanese
atrocities during WWII. And the pictures, monuments, and stories are
horrifying. So much so, that there is a parental warning at the
beginning of it, as well a a side route to avoid it.
*** and ***
Many ears ago, in the 70′s and early 80′s, I spent many a
weekend carousing Kalakaua Blvd. in Waikiki. This was during a period
when Japanese Tourism to the Hawaiian Islands was peaking. Nothing
wrong with that…..they’re good people and spend lots of
money. But one thing always bothered me. And that was seeing Japanese
men, especially older men, fresh off of a tour of Pearl Harbor, wearing
USS Arizona baseball caps and T-shirts. Call me jingoistic, but I found
that offensive. The same way I would feel in 2010 if Islamic
Fundamentalists dressed their women in burkhas featuring images of the
World Trade Center. And probably no different than how a Japanese
citizen would feel if I walked around downtown Hiroshima in a T-shirt
featuring a mushroom cloud with a “Made in America, Tested in
Japan” caption. (indeed, I admit it….I DID get a T-shirt
like that made to wear on Kalakaua in response to the Japanese wearing
Arizona hats and tees).
*** and ***
All of us from all nations can and should honor our fallen warriors in proper ways.
Without wearing “souvenirs” from former opponent’s hallowed grounds.
Just my opinion.

Jasper “Islander505″ [MC1977]
[JR: As a little L libertarian, I think everyone should have to see
EVERY atrocity committed in a war by ALL sides. We need to understand
viscerally what George W ... Washington ... about "entangling
alliances". All fallen warriors deserve respect. They may have been
wrong, mistaken, or even bad. But they have paid the ultimate price,
made the ultimate sacrifice, and should teach us the BIG lesson. There
is no good war. With respect to the bomb, FDR (for getting us in it)
and Truman (for dropping the bomb) are high on my list of worst
Presidents. Maybe those Japanese tourists are pure of heart and buy a
souvenir to remember?]

Charles Patrick McGlade (1954-2010)
10 June, 2010 (22:13)
I have spent a lot of time trying to make sense of Chuck’s life
and my relationship with him. There were so many facets and narrative
threads that mere words fail.
My own story with Chuck began at Manhattan College
when our interests and schedules began to coincide. He was a brilliant
student, a talented editor of the Jasper Journal, and president of our
International Relations Club.
{Extraneous Deleted}
Between the ups and downs of the last dozen or so years and the
Myositis that gradually took him, some might say that his life ended
tragically.
This does no justice to the person I knew as Charles Patrick McGlade.
I will remember him always as a dear friend – Irish to the core,
an eternal optimist, a happy-warrior Democrat, a world citizen and a
lover of justice.
He made his mistakes and he took his lumps but he was an existential fighter who never gave up.
In evidence, I offer this: on the 20,500th day of his life in this world, he was still smiling as he took his last breath.
*** and ***
About Jim Hone
I was born in New York in 1954, the first of nine children to Irish
immigrant parents. I grew up just across the Hudson River in the
working-class town of West New York, New Jersey, a first home to waves
of newcomers to this day.
I graduated from Manhattan College in 1976. Just a day after
commencement, I began an eleven-year career at CBS where I held several
positions in network operations and production.
{Extraneous Deleted}
In 2008, I won an appointment to become the Film and Media Digital
Archivist at Washington University in St. Louis. Most of my current
work revolves around the Henry Hampton Collection. Hampton, a St. Louis
native and Washington University alumnus, founded Blackside, Inc., the
producer of such PBS documentaries as Eyes on the Prize, Malcolm X:
Make it Plain, The Great Depression and I’ll Make Me a World.
There are thousands of analog items in need of attention. I feel like I’m laying the foundation for the pyramids.
I live in the Dogtown neighborhood of St. Louis with my wife, muse and
reality check, Janelle Carron. Two stepdaughters, Amy and Erin, their
dogs and boyfriends are frequent visitors.

ENDNOTE: “Automatic excommunications” but not for CINO politicians

Phoenix Catholic hospital defends abortion that took place there; bishop warns of excommunication
May 17, 2010
*** begin quote ***
In late 2009, an abortion took place at St. Joseph’s Hospital and
Medical Center in Phoenix after a hospital ethics committee deemed the
abortion necessary to save the life of the mother. Sister Margaret Mary
McBride, the hospital’s vice president of mission integration,
was a member of the committee that made the decision and has since been
assigned new duties.

[JR: Wasn’t there and don’t know the facts, but why should
that stop me from butting in. Tragic situation. Sounds like people were
really trying to do the right thing. I don’t like
“automatic excommunication”. All I would point out to the
good bishop is perhaps he might aom some ire at the CINO politicians
like Pelosi, Biden, and the late Ted Kennedy. How about handing out
some of those “automatic excommunications” for them because
of their roles? Just a modest question. You can surmise your own
answers as to why not. Argh!]
