Goodbye To The Queen Mum
By Charlie Reese

"For most Americans, I suppose, British royalty seems a silly, unnecessary expense, but I've always had great affection for it. Tradition, ceremony and  ritual remind us that we are more than animals, that humans are capable of more than satisfying appetites and urges.

I remember the late Queen Mother when she was Queen Elizabeth during World War II. There is a picture of her, King George VI and their daughters, Princess Elizabeth and Princess Margaret, standing on a balcony that is firmly stuck in my mind. It was probably from a newsreel or a newsmagazine.

But I can still see them clearly. They remained at Buckingham Palace during the blitz, and the old palace was hit by several bombs as the Luftwaffe tried to bomb Britain into submission in 1941. The value of their symbolism was very important when the continued existence of Great Britain was in doubt."

I was born long after those events, but I remember being taught by the good Brothers about WWII. One of the things that stuck in my mind was how the English sent their children to countryside, but the Royal Family remained at "their stations". The words of Winston Churchill were read aloud in the classroom. We heard recordings of his speeches. We were tested on dates and other stuff. But, I remember the sense of great courage during that time by everyone, leader and follower, Royal or commoner, all to the common defense.

Today, we have a different set of enemies. But, enemies all the same. We must take care that this is not used as cover to take away of Constitutionally recognized God-given rights. We too must have that same type of courage to stay at "our stations", and defend our liberties from enemies both foreign and domestic. Let's not forget the domestic by giving in to the power of the state.

Can we have the same courage?

Reflect well on our alma mater, this week, every week, in any and every way possible, large or small. God bless.

"Collector-in-chief" John

Fagan Chiropractic Enters Third Year in Perkins Square
by: Rick Winterson

Dr. Fagan Preaches What He Practices- Chiropractic Can Resolve Many Health Problems.

Tom Fagan is an athletic man and this characteristic led to his becoming a chiropractor. Tom was a varsity wrestler at Manhattan College. He got injured in the neck and upper back area and for a few days, he couldn't move his arms. There was pain involved with this potentially serious problem. One visit to a chiropractor cleared up the lack of movement in his arms; a few follow-up visits cured the injury completely.

He then noticed that his asthma had cleared up as well. Searching his memory, Tom recalled that the asthma problem started back in his childhood soon after an auto accident with a snowplow. He reasoned that the adjustment of his spinal column which restored his arm movement also helped the nerves leading to his respiratory system. To Tom, this was clear evidence of the significant benefits of chiropractic treatment.

Tom was studying Health Education as an undergraduate at Manhattan College, and was planning to get into physical therapy. After recovering from the wrestling injury, he knew he had found his true vocation, so he enrolled in Life University outside of Atlanta, Ga. Four years later, in 1998, he had earned his degree as a Doctor of Chiropractic, including two years of clinical internship. He then passed his National Boards and successfully took his examination for a Chiropractic License in Massachusetts.

During Tom's first two years in practice, he worked with other chiropractors, assisting them with overloads, vacation coverage and the like. However, Tom had his eye on South Boston. He was born and raised in New York but his mother, Mary Butler, came from Southie originally, where she attended Saint Augustine's School. Brothers Jim and Joe came back to this area, graduating from Boston University and Stonehill College, respectively. When the space came available, Tom opened his own practice at 75 Dorchester Street. He's been practicing there for just over two years.

HEADLINE: DUBERG'S MANY LOVES REFLECTED 'LIFE OF MIND'
BYLINE: Daily Press
DATELINE: NEWPORT NEWS

Dr. John Edward Duberg -- former associate director of Langley Field and instrumental in the development of  the particle accelerator at Jefferson Laboratory -- died  Saturday, April 13, 2002, after a prolonged illness. He was 84.

Born on Nov. 30, 1917, in New York City, Dr. Duberg graduated at 15 from DeWitt Clinton High School. He earned  three engineering degrees -- bachelor's from Manhattan  College, master's from Virginia Tech and doctorate from  the University of Illinois. He was a member of Sigma Xi,  Tau Beta Pi and Phi Gamma Phi, all honor societies. An aeronautical engineer, Dr. Duberg retired as associate director of Langley Field. He began work with  the National Advisory Committee on Aeronautics, the  predecessor to NASA, in 1943. He spent almost his entire career at Langley Field, initially working in the  Structures Division.

Later, as he held a series of executive positions, he was liaison with various universities and worked on  special projects. He was instrumental in the development  of the particle accelerator that now forms the core of  the U.S. Department of Energy's Jefferson Laboratory. He  was a founder and, for years, director of the Joint  Institute for Advancement of Flight Sciences.

After retiring from Langley, Dr. Duberg was a research professor at George Washington University. In the  late 1950s, he was a professor at the University of  Illinois. He served on advisory committees for the  National Academy of Sciences, U.S. Department of Labor,  University of Virginia and Christopher Newport  University.

He was a fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. He got AIAA's DeFlorez Award  and was a fellow of the American Association for the  Advancement of Science, as well as a member of the New  York Academy of Science and the Virginia Academy of  Science.

"My father's life was a life of the mind," said his son, John A. Duberg.

Dr. Duberg was active in civic and professional affairs. He was a member of the Warwick Rotary Club since  1959 and its past president. As a Rotarian, he helped  establish the Virginia Living Museum and was a Paul  Harris Fellow.

He was a member and past president of the Engineers Club of the Virginia Peninsula and the 1976 Engineer of  the Year. He served on the boards of the American  Society of Engineering Education, the Society of  Engineering Sciences, the local chapter of the Boy  Scouts and served as chairman of the Hampton Roads  Chapter of the American Red Cross.

A trustee of the United Way, he was a past chairman of the United Way's annual campaign. He also served on the  board of Newport News Savings and Loan, which eventually  became part of SunTrust Bank.

An active member of St. Andrew's Episcopal Church, he served on its vestry and as senior warden.

Dr. Duberg had a wide range of interests. He was a radio enthusiast starting from childhood, a devotee of  opera and an avid gardener. As an adult, he taught  himself Spanish. According to his son, he also had an interest in Latin America.

He is survived by Mary Andrews Duberg, his wife of 58 years; a daughter, Jane D. Schweinsburg of Coventry, R.I.,  and her husband, the Rev. Dr. Richard L. Schweinsburg; a  son, John A. Duberg, and his wife, Mary Kuxhaus; two grandchildren, Katherine and Andrew Duberg of Baltimore;  a sister, Ethel Williams of Venice, Fla.; a niece; and  three nephews.

A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. Tuesday, April 16, at St. Andrew's Episcopal Church. Interment will  be private.

Memorials may be made to the Hampton Roads Chapter of the American Red Cross.

Lacrosse in the U. S.

Lacrosse had pretty well died out in the northern United States by the middle of the nineteenth century, but it was revived in upstate New York during the late 1860s by the Onondaga tribe, influenced by the St. Regis tribe, which was among those still active in Canada.

White players in Upstate New York began to play lacrosse about 1868, and the sport soon spread to Metropolitan New York, where several teams were organized during the 1870s. New York University and Manhattan College played the first U. S. intercollegiate game on November 22, 1877, and other colleges in the Northeast soon took up the sport, including Boston University, Columbia, Cornell, Harvard, Princeton, and Stevens Institute.

The U. S. Amateur Lacrosse Association, founded in 1879, adopted the Canadian rules. Seven colleges formed the first Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association three years later. That was succeeded in 1905 by the Intercollegiate Lacrosse League, which changed its name to the U. S. Intercollegiate Lacrosse Association (USILA) in 1929.

Ice hockey and lacrosse have always been closely connected. In fact, the original rules of ice hockey, written in 1867, were patterned after those of lacrosse, and most hockey players in Canada also played lacrosse.

Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore was a major hockey-playing college in the 1890s. Lacrosse was introduced there in 1893 by some students who had seen the sport on Long Island, and it quickly became very popular throughout Baltimore. Programs were developed for all age groups by 1900 and the city has been a hotbed of lacrosse ever since.

Although there are large areas of the country where lacrosse is virtually unknown, it has become quite popular in many other areas, including Long Island, Upstate New York, Indiana, Michigan, Northern California, Oregon, Florida, Texas, and the Atlanta region.

A national collegiate champion was chosen by committee until 1971, when the NCAA began conducting its annual championship tournament. The Division III championship was added in 1980. The NCAA Division II championship was conducted from 1974 through 1982 and it was resumed in 1993 after a twelve-year hiatus.

At many schools, lacrosse is a club sport--that is, it's run by students independently of the athletic department. Club teams even coexist with varsity teams at quite a few colleges. The USILA conducts a national championship tournament for college club teams. The National Collegiate Lacrosse League, founded in 1991 as an organization of about 70 schools with club teams, also has a championship tournament.

Since 1934, the U. S. Lacrosse Association has conducted the U. S. Open tournament for post-collegiate club teams.

[JR: I guess we can claim credit for this as well as the disputed seventh inning stretch!]

SOFTBALL KNOCKS OFF NIAGARA, 5-2
Second Game of Twinbill Called For Rain, Rescheduled for 9 AM Saturday

RIVERDALE, NY - Freshman Erika Kostik (Orangeburg, NY) was 1-for-3 with a two-run double to spark the Manhattan College softball team to a 5-2 victory over conference rival Niagara University Friday afternoon at Gaelic Park. Manhattan improves to 14-19 overall and 5-4 in the MAAC, while Niagara falls to 4-21 and 0-5 in the MAAC. Manhattan and Niagara were scheduled to play a doubleheader this afternoon, but the second game was called in the top of the second inning due to lightning. The game has been rescheduled for Saturday morning at 9:00 AM at Gaelic Park, weather permitting.

Niagara took the early 1-0 lead in the top of the first on a solo homerun over the left field fence by Brooke Bradburn. But the Lady Jaspers responded with four runs in the bottom of the inning to take a 4-1 lead. Margaret LaFex (Syracuse, NY) led off the inning with a single to the left side. Jennifer McCracken (Wappingers Falls, NY) then layed down a bunt and beat out the throw to put runners on first and second. Designated hitter Meghan Farrelly (Latham, NY) then lined a single to right field to score LaFex and knot the game at 1-1. Cleanup hitter Kostik ripped a double over the right fielder's head to bring around two more runs. After Melinda Whitaker (Saugerties, NY) struck out for the first out of the inning, Suzie Masotto (Southbury, CT) hit a line drive to the third baseman, who overthrew first base, allowing Kostik to score the Lady J's fourth run of the inning.

Manhattan added another run in the bottom of the third inning. Katie Bentz (Westchester, PA) drilled a two-out double to the fence in centerfield, and came around to score on a throwing error by the second baseman. The Purple Eagles scratched across a run in the top of the fourth on an RBI-groundout by Randi Lawton for the final margin.

Starter Julianne Soviero (East Setaucket, NY) (4-6) pitched brilliantly, allowing two runs on just four hits with four strikeouts and three walks for her fourth win of the season. Kara Husband (Depew, NY) came in to relieve Soviero in the top of the seventh and picked up her third save of the year.

Following the make-up game against Niagara tomorrow morning, the Lady Jaspers are scheduled to host the Canisius Golden Griffs for a twinbill at Noon at Gaelic Park.

WOMEN'S LACROSSE SUFFERS 7-14 LOSS TO DREXEL

PHILADELPHIA, PA - The Manhattan College women's lacrosse team suffered a heartbreaking 7-14 lost to Drexel University this afternoon at Drexel Field. The Lady Jaspers fall to 2-11 overall, while the Dragons advance to 5-9.

In the first half, Rory Maguire (Bellerose Village, NY) scored the first Manhattan goal at the 23:39 mark from a free position shot to tie the score at one. Two minutes later, another free position goal by Melissa Medina (Pearl River, NY) gave the Lady J's a 2-1 lead. Drexel rallied back to score two more goals before a pass from Nora Jacquette (Philadelphia, PA) to Medina caused the second tie of the game at three goals apiece. Fourteen seconds later, Jacquette found the net to take the last Manhattan lead. The Dragons responded by scoring three unanswered shots. Jacquette scored her second goal of the game with 18 seconds left to end the first half 5-6.

In the second half, Drexel's Katrina Rand and Jaime Connahan returned to score two goals apiece before Jamie Carter (Williston Park, NY) and Maguire scored two unanswered shots in less then two minutes apart. Maegan Cosgrove (Farmingville, NY) made an impressive 17 saves, but the Lady Jaspers were not able to overcome the offensive of Drexel ending the game, 14-7.

Manhattan will return to action on Sunday, April 21st when they host Howard at 10 AM in Gaelic Park.

BASEBALL DROPS 12-4 DECISION AT ARMY

WEST POINT, NY - The Manhattan College baseball team dropped a 12-4 decision to the United States Military Academy this afternoon at Doubleday Field. Manhattan falls to 18-14 while the Black Knights improve to 9-19.

The Jasper pitching staff was roughed up in the early going, allowing eight runs on seven hits as the Jaspers found themselves in an 8-0 hole after two innings. Manhattan got three runs back in the top of the third, as Eric Fierro (Levittown, NY) and Ian Quinn (Catskill, NY) lined back-to-back doubles to plate the first Jasper run of the game. Matt Cucurullo (Valhalla, NY) and Chris Gaskin (Rego Park, NY) also had RBI singles in the inning as the Jaspers cut the deficit to 8-3. Army added four runs over the next two innings to assume a commanding 12-3 lead. Cucurullo collected his second RBI of the day in the top of the seventh, lining a base hit to center field which scored Josh Greco (Kensington, CT) for the final margin.

Starter Wendell Anderson (East Hartford, CT) took the loss for the Jaspers, falling to 3-3 on the season. Anderson was unable to retire the first five batters he faced which allowed the Black Knights to score three times. Cucurullo and Fierro each had a pair of hits in the losing effort. Junior Justin Jackette (Valhalla, NY), a two-year starter on the Jasper basketball team, saw his first action as a member of the baseball team, as he came in to pitch a scoreless sixth inning.

SOFTBALL SPLITS WITH ST. FRANCIS

Terriers Blank Jaspers 3-0 in First Game; Lady J's Rally for 5-4 Win in Nightcap

 

RIVERDALE, NY - The Manhattan College softball team split a doubleheader with local rival St. Francis this afternoon at Gaelic Park. Terrier hurler Samantha Griffin pitched a four-hit shutout with 12 strikeouts as St. Francis won the first game 3-0, but the Lady Jaspers rallied for three runs in the bottom of the seventh in a dramatic come-from-behind 5-4 victory in the nightcap. Manhattan is now 13-19 overall while St. Francis is 12-22.

In the first game, the Lady Jaspers had opportunities but failed to get on the scoreboard, stranding eight baserunners in the game. Candice Aulogia (New Windsor, NY) took the tough loss for Manhattan, working five innings and allowing three runs on five hits with two strikeouts and three walks. Brianne Illanovsky (Matamoras, PA) came in to throw the final two innings, allowing just one basehit.

In the second game, the Terriers got on the board in the top of the first. With the bases loaded and nobody out, Samantha Barchitta hit into a fielder's choice to the shortstop, allowing Vanessa Munz to score. But, starter Kara Husband (Depew, NY) worked out of the jam without allowing any more runs. Husband got Sandra Carey to ground out to first and struck out Lisa Gentile to end the threat. In the bottom of the second, the Lady J's tied the game up on an RBI-double by freshman Margaret LaFex (Syracuse, NY). The Lady J's scored the go-ahead run in the bottom of the fifth on a sacrifice fly by freshman Erika Kostik (Orangeburg, NY).

But the Terriers wouldn't go away, as they rallied for three runs on four hits in the top of the seventh. Barchitta knocked in the tying run with a basehit to left field, and Christina Brovakos drove in two more with a single to centerfield to give the Terriers a 4-2 lead. LaFex and Jennifer McCracken (Wappingers, NY) led of the bottom of the seventh inning with back-to-back singles to start things off. Then Meghan Farrelly (Latham, NY) lined a basehit to centerfield, allowing LaFex to score easily from second. McCracken, who was impeded in the baseline by the St. Francis shortstop, was hustling all the way and tried to score but, due to interference, was called out at the plate. The play was reviewed due to the interference call, and McCracken was awarded third base. Farrelly, meanwhile, advanced to second base on the throw. With runners at second and third, Kostik skied a fly ball over the reach of the left fielder and both runners came in to score to give the Lady Jaspers the dramatic 5-4 victory.

Illanovsky picked up the win for Manhattan, working four innings in relief, despite giving up three runs on seven hits with five strikeouts.

The Lady J's return to action on Friday, April 19, hosting Niagara in a MAAC doubleheader at 3:00 at Gaelic Park.

MEN'S LACROSSE DEFEATS MT. ST. MARY'S 8-7 TO IMPROVE TO 5-0 IN THE MAAC
Senior Goalie James Amandola Saves 14 Shots in the Win

RIVERDALE, NY - In a game often noted for scoring outbursts, the Manhattan College men's lacrosse team put together an outstanding defensive effort behind a 14-save performance by senior goalie James Amandola (Patchogue, NY) to defeat Mount Saint Mary's College 8-7 in a battle of undefeated teams in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference. Manhattan now improves to 7-5, 5-0 in the MAAC, while Mt. St. Mary's falls to 2-8, 2-1 in the MAAC.

Defenders Anthony Antonelli (New Hyde Park, NY), Chris Hawkins (Hicksville, NY) and Brett Warmington (Hudson, OH) combined with defensive midfielders Mike Conforto (Congers, NY), Wes Sitar (Commack, NY), John Crotty (Albany, NY) and Gerard McClosky (Centerreach, NY) to shut out the Mountaineers in the first quarter. Amandola added two saves in the first quarter to Mt. St. Mary's nine shots. Manhattan took six shots and could not convert, and the score was tied at 0-0 at the end of the first quarter.

Manhattan scored the ever-important first goal when freshman Justin Otto (Merrick, NY) scored on a man-up quick-stick shot on a pass from Eugene Tanner (Medford, NY) just eight seconds into the second period. Nick Silva (Chesterfield, MO) scored an unassisted goal with 8:58 to go in the second to give Manhattan a 2-0 lead. Mark Cox scored the first goal for the Mountaineers with one minute remaining in the half to cut the lead to 2-1. Manhattan led 2-1 at halftime.

Both teams played for possession until junior Anthony Pintauro (Williston Park, NY) blasted a shot with 10:02 on the clock to give Manhattan the 3-1 lead. William Jautze scored just under a minute later to cut the lead to 3-2. Following the ensuing face-off, the Mountaineers scored again when Josh Warfield converted an overhead pass from Steve Kelly with 8:50 on the clock. Ten seconds later, Mt. St. Mary's took a 4-3 lead on a similar play with Warfield scoring on a pass from Kelly. Warfield completed the hat trick with 2:19 left to play in the third period to give the Mountaineers a commanding 5-3 lead.

Manhattan gained possession and Otto gave the Jaspers a momentum swing by whipping a shot to the lower corner of the net with 1:12 to play in the third quarter and cutting the lead to 5-4. Mt. St. Mary's was called for a slashing penalty immediately after Otto's goal to give Manhattan a man-up advantage with just over a minute remaining in the period. Tanner scored the equalizer on a pass from Silva with just 31.6 seconds left on the clock in the third. Manhattan's Rich Sauer (Williston Park, NY) won the next face-off and the Jaspers prepared to take the last shot of the quarter. As the final ten seconds ticked off the game clock, Mike Honors (Syracuse, NY) hit Tanner with a shovel pass, which Tanner finished back-side to give Manhattan the lead for good.

Silva added an unassisted goal just under two minutes into the fourth quarter to give Manhattan the two-goal lead. Will Jautze cut the lead to one with 8:52 left to play, but Manhattan used solid defense to regain possession and freshman Marty DarConte (Commack, NY) scored the eventual game-winning goal on an assist from Don Femminella (Massapequa, NY). The Mountaineers wouldn't go away as Kevin Merlin added an unassisted goal with 2:10 left to play to cut the lead to 8-7. Again, Manhattan's defense came up huge as Amandola saved three shots in the final minutes of play and the Jaspers' defense regained possession.

Amandola finished with 14 saves and Manhattan's core defense combined for more than 20 ground balls. Tanner, this week's MAAC Rookie of the Week, finished with two goals and one assist. Silva, this week's MAAC Player of the Week finished with the same. Otto added two goals, while Pintauro and DarConte each added one.

HEADLINE: JASPERS COACH STAYING
BYLINE: By Dick Weiss

Bobby Gonzalez of Manhattan, considered to be one of the prime candidates for the DePaul opening, has pulled his name out of consideration for that Conference USA job.

Gonzalez, a well-connected, rising young star in the profession who coached the Jaspers to a 20-9 record, the championship of the Holiday Festival Classic and an NIT bid in his third season, said he was flattered by the interest but is happy with his current situation. "I think we're going to have a good team here and we still have some unfinished business in the MAAC," he said.

The Jaspers, who return All-MAAC guard Luis Flores, second-team All-MAAC forward David Holmes and 6-6 MAAC Rookie of the Year Jason Benton, should be a major factor in the league again. Manhattan must replace point guard Mugsy Green, but Gonzalez has added 5-9 dynamo Kenny Minor from Wichendon, Mass., Academy. Manhattan is committed to playing in next year's Holiday Festival, along with St. John's, Iona and North Carolina.

DePaul is expected to re-interview UConn assistant Dave Laito, Michigan State assistant Brian Gregory and DePaul assistant Tracy Dildy.

Bob Kawamoto:

Rafe Viscasillas would like to hear from you. His email is in the "TO:" field.

Under the terms that I have solicited email addresses for Jasper Jottings I will not divulge any email addresses, so further contact is up to you. I would appreciate know if you do communicate with, not necessarily what you have to say, so that I can report a successful "connection" in Jasper Jottings. But the ball is in your court, and every thing is your choice.

Best wishes,
John

John, thanks, hope to hear from Bob soon. He wasn't located in time for the Arnold Air Society reunion. He and I pledged together, I remember his nickname was "Kawabonga" I'll let you know when we make contact. What class did you graduate with?

Your email provider is blocking Jasper Jottings.  Perhaps it would be easier for you to read this weeks issue at:

If you want, I can send you the direct link each week. Please advise,

John,

    To put an end to this thread, all government has to do is send a message - use P.R. and use the media, like Nancy Reagan's, "Just Say 'No!'" to drugs.

    Hopefully, in the next Jasper Jottings, I can announce the launch of my website, which I hope will improve the quality of motion pictures, if not the m.o. of the industry.  Should any "movie types" be reading this, boy, do I have a script for you.  Any positions if the film industry will be considered - and I MEAN ANY.

[JR: OK, you can have the last word.]

A couple of years ago I posted an inquiry on the Manhattan College online directory looking for an old classmate who moved to Florida.  There was a reply with your email address on it.  Therefore, I sent the reply that you read.  I'm sorry if I did not place enough information in it.

Can you assist or do I have incorrect information?

Regards,
Patrick J. Steiner

[JR: I don’t have anything. And, he is not listed in the MCOLDB. Can anyone else help out there?]

Hi, John,

It was great to meet you.  I am sorry you are having trouble reaching me.   Email has been working fine.   I have been receiving many messages--mst of course the ones one doesn't want.   And somehow I got the one saying you couldn't get through.  That is really weird.   

I don't know if it would help to try upper case:  <privacy invoked>

Thanks again for trying to get through.  I look forward to reading your stuff and the back issues, too.

Best wishes.
Bill

[JR: I knew then that I had guessed his email address despite the misprint on his business card.]

John,

Thanks very much.  My error, and I'll get the cards corrected.

Hope this means I can expect your epistles.  They really are interesting, welcome and fun.

Have a great day.
Bill  

[JR: Nobody escapes the “collector”. Just an hint is all that is needed to have him on the trail of any Jasper that even expresses a hing of interest. Sort of like a fat old version of Arnold’s “terminator”. ;-)  Maybe I can get a comic or a movie contract. “I’ll be relentless!” Doesn’t have the same ring but still … … ]

John:

Thank you so much for including me on your Jasper Jottings email list – I am replying most affirmatively that I would like to be a part of this community newsletter. It was lovely meeting you last Thursday night and I have to say I am thrilled that the NYC Manhattan College graduates have formed a club that I believe will be a wonderful networking and friendship building resource.

There are few other names I would like to give you from other recent graduates who were unable to attend Thursday's gathering, but who I believe would be interested in possibly receiving your newsletter: Danielle Barrett '99; Courtney Johnson '00; Christina Swantak '99; Matthew Christopher '00; Lisa Myer '01

Once again, it was very nice meeting you - and hopefully I can help in linking some of Manhattan's more recent graduates to the resources you provide. Hope to see you again soon!

CFO Publishing/The Economist Group

[JR: Thanks for the help. I connected to everyone but Matthew. The second email address you gave me for him bounced also.]

Subject: Class at Manhattan College

John,

Lindy Remigino is from the class of 1953 BS(PE).I was fortunate to be in this class along with many stellar athletes of that era. Any one interested in reviewing the athletic history of the college can find the information in the Manhattanite Yearbook of 1953.I am certain that the New York Newspapers have the story of the 1952 Olympics at Helsinki in their archives.

Happy Hunting!

[JR: Thanks I didn’t know that before and was surprised by the finding.]

COPYRIGHTS

Copyrighted material belongs to their owner. We recognize that this is merely "fair use", appropriate credit is given and any restrictions observed. The CIC asks you to do the same.

All material submitted for posting becomes the sole property of the CIC. All decisions about what is post, and how, are vested solely in the CIC. We'll attempt to honor your wishes to the best of our ability.

A collection copyright is asserted to protect against any misuse of original material.

PRIVACY

Operating Jasper Jottings, the "collector-in-chief", aka CIC, recognizes that every one of us needs privacy. In respect of your privacy, I will protect any information you provide to the best of my ability. No one needs "unsolicited commercial email" aka spam.

The CIC of Jasper Jottings will never sell personal data to outside vendors. Nor do we currently accept advertisements, although that may be a future option.

DISCLAIMER

This effort has NO FORMAL RELATION to Manhattan College!

This is just my idea and has no support nor any official relationship with Manhattan College. As an alumni, we have a special bond with Manhattan College. In order to help the College keep its records as up to date as possible, the CIC will share such information as the Alumni office wants. To date, we share the news, any "new registrations" (i.e., data that differs from the alumni directory), and anything we find about "lost" jaspers.

QUALIFICATION

You may only subscribe to the list, only if you have demonstrated a connection to Manhattan College. This may require providing information about yourself to assert the claim to a connection. Decisions of the CIC are final. If you do provide such personal information, such as email, name, address or telephone numbers, we will not disclose it to anyone except as described here.

CONNECTING

Should you wish to connect to someone else on the list, you must send in an email to the list requesting the connection. We will respond to you, so you know we received your request, and send a BCC (i.e., Blind Carbon Copy) of our response to your target with your email address visible. Thus by requesting the connection, you are allowing us to share your email address with another list member. After that it is up to the other to respond to you. Bear in mind that anything coming to the list or to me via my reinkefj@alum.manhattan.edu address is assumed to be for publication to the list and you agree to its use as described.

Should some one wish to connect with you, you will be sent a BCC (i.e., Blind Carbon Copy) of our response as described above. It is then your decision about responding.

We want you to be pleased not only with this service. Your satisfaction, and continued participation, is very important to all of us.

REQUESTING YOUR PARTICIPATION

Please remember this effort depends upon you being a reporter. Email any news about Jaspers, including yourself --- (It is ok to toot your own horn. If you don't, who will? If it sounds too bad, I'll tone it down.) --- to reinkefj@alum.manhattan.edu. Please mark if you DON'T want it distributed AND / OR if you DON'T want me to edit it.

Fax can be accommodated 781-723-7975 but email is easier.

I keep several of the “Instant Messengers” up: ICQ#72967466; Yahoo "reinkefj"; and MSN T7328215850.

Or, you can USMail it to me at 3 Tyne Court Kendall Park, NJ 08824.

INVITING ANY JASPERS

Feel free to invite other Jaspers to join us by dropping me an email.

PROBLEMS

Report any problems or feel free to give me feedback, by emailing me at reinkefj@alum.manhattan.edu. If you are really enraged, or need to speak to me, call 732-821-5850.

If you don't receive your weekly newsletter, your email may be "bouncing". One or two individual transmissions fail each week and, depending upon how you signed up, I may have no way to track you down, so stay in touch.

 

A Final Thought

http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=27282

"The Associated Press ran a rare article explaining exactly who pays the federal income taxes. They state that the top 5 percent of income earners pay more than 55 percent of the total federal income taxes. (To be eligible for the top 5 percent, one must have an annual income above $120,846.) For people who believe the "rich" hire fancy accountants and lawyers to avoid paying taxes, this news comes as quite a shock."

Aghhhh! What more does one have to say? When the "have-nots" -- and I use that deservedly in quotes -- can dip into the pockets of the "haves" -- which I would call the "working poor" -- if I don't work, I am poor – we don't have a republic anymore. We have a "democracy" where the majority steals from the minority.

That's why I favor a national sales tax to replace all taxes. Each state collect the tax at the level it chooses. The federal government lives off of a small portion of that and the duties it receives for imports. It's time to go back to the original intent of the dead old white guys, who really constructed a beautiful experiment, which we in our stupidity messed with.

And that’s the last word.
