Key West couple hails 75 years together surrounded by family
J.J. HYSELL
keysnews.com
=== <begin quote> ===
KEY WEST - An old adage implies that rain on your wedding day is an omen.
Try telling that to 93-year-olds Carlos and Grace Calleja. Relatives talk of how it poured "cats and dogs" on Sept. 3, 1928, the blessed day when the two tied the knot on the second floor of a store at Olivia and Simonton streets.
Seventy-five years later, the couple remains consumed by wedded bliss, a living testament to the longevity of love.
"I don't know what I'd do without him," Grace said as she gazed at Carlos. "I hope I never have to do without him."
Friends and relatives congratulated the pair on their admirable - and these days rare - milestone at a 75th wedding anniversary party Saturday. The Callejas hosted the event at their home, a nifty cottage Carlos built about 45 years ago. It is well adorned with pictures of their three children and numerous grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Their caretaker, Myrtle, keeps a close eye on their every need, and two small dogs scurry from room to room.
Ask them what they most wish for, and the Callejas will tell you they have everything they need in each other.
"We've been everywhere together," said Carlos, a native of Key West. Grace was born in Tampa but moved to the island when she was young.
Their storybook romance began in routine fashion. They met in school when they were 12, and the enchantment blossomed through high school. They decided to get married at 18, but plans for a December wedding didn't suit Carlos. He wanted to take the vows right away.
"He said if we didn't get married soon, he was going away on a boat and he wasn't coming back," Grace recalled.
The ceremony was held above Carlos' father's grocery, a favorite stop for shopping Conchs long before corporate chains arrived. Grace wore a stylish white dress crafted by her cousin in Cuba, and Carlos, with his thick, curly black hair, paralleled a silent screen star. Relatives said they'd never seen it rain so hard, and the featured meal at the reception was ice cream and cake. But there couldn't have been a more delightful afternoon, they said, because Carlos and Grace were the picture of love.
Eleven months later, their first child was born. It was the beginning of a close-knit family that would pass down its reverence for loyalty through generations.
"They definitely are my role models as far as their life commitment to each other," granddaughter Grace Elizabeth Calleja said. "They're very romantic. He still sings her songs and gives her flowers."
The romance spanned decades as the two traveled the globe. Together they enjoyed the charms of Paris, Japan, Rome, and South America. They both worked in the grocery and shared many hobbies. Carlos' creative genius came to light as a professional photographer, a painter, a ham radio operator and a musician. A family friend and former next-door neighbor, Maryann Westerlund, called Carlos a "true Renaissance man."
"One day I came in and Grace said he was in the office paying his bills online," Westerlund said. "That was six years ago. I wasn't even online then."
They're as sharp as they can be.
"And Grace is very sharing. I've never heard her say an unkind word against anyone. I would take her shopping and help push the cart while she squeezed the tomatoes," Westerlund said. They are a dear and sweet couple. I still call them my neighbors even though we've moved."
When asked if they have a secret to long-lasting love, the couple said there was nothing to it - it's just important to always "be near each other" and to be a close family. What they didn't mention, but demonstrated naturally, was a how a hint of humor helps too.
"It's been a struggle to be with the same man for so long," Grace joked when asked about the 75-year mark. Then, she turned to Carlos and held his hand.
"Really, it's been a pleasure to be with the same man for so long."
Carlos, asked what he likes most about Grace, said, "Her sweet disposition. And her legs."
As far as arguments, the pair said they rarely have any. "We agree to disagree," Carlos said.
"Before we know it, we're over it," said Grace, who added that her advice to couples today would be not to dwell on the little things - and to wives, always go with your husband wherever he goes.
"I don't think they've ever thought of the possibility of not being together," daughter Hortensia Perez said.
=== <end quote> ===
This story makes my modest 33 year marriage look like a speck. While I joke about "parole ater 30 years", I can't imagine what life would be like without my partner. When I hear from my fellow alums about losing life partners, I value what I have a little more. When I compare the life long commitment urged on us by the moral authorities and the sources of moral wisdom with the popular culture, I am amazed. I felt sad that Ben has to find affection with lap dances while the oft-married JayLo seeks what I have found. There is not a lot that I can add to that comment, other than to say, I pray for every wedding that I report. And, hope that you do the same.
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

MANHATTAN COLLEGE AND CLIFFORD THE BIG RED DOG TO VISIT UNDERSERVED FIRST-GRADERS IN LITERACY PUSH
RIVERDALE, N.Y. – In efforts to support literacy programs, Manhattan College’s First Book Campus Advisory Board will be handing out free books to the first-grade class at St. John’s School in Riverdale on Monday, September 15 at 9:00 a.m. Popular children’s storybook character Clifford The Big Red Dog will make an appearance with College advisory board volunteers and help distribute the new books to students – most of whom are from low-income families – as well as spend time encouraging students to read and sharpen their skills.
Comprised of students and faculty at the College and coordinated by the campus ministry and social action department, the First Book Manhattan College Campus Advisory Board (CAB) is part of First Book’s national network of community volunteers who support the organization’s mission to provide children from low-income families with their first, new books. The College’s board focuses on promoting the distribution of books to Bronx-based literacy programs and local schools. Manhattan College is the first college in the New York City area to participate in the CAB initiative. The visit to St. John’s marks the second book-giving event the College has participated in as part of the First Book partnership.
First Book is a national, non-profit organization. In neighborhoods across the U.S., First Book Local Advisory Boards and Campus Advisory Boards aim to unite leaders from all sectors of the community to provide books to children in literacy programs, shelters for battered children, housing project initiatives, after-school programs and other community-based efforts to reach children living below the poverty line.

MANHATTAN COLLEGE PROFESSOR, GEORGE B. KIRSCH, AUTHORS BOOK THAT EXAMINES BASEBALL DURING THE CIVIL WAR
RIVERDALE, N.Y. --- Dr. George B. Kirsch, professor of
history at
Truly a baseball buff, Kirsch gives readers a color commentary on the growth and transformation of baseball during the Civil War. In Baseball in Blue and Gray, Kirsch examines the growth of baseball during the period and shows that the game played a vital part in the lives of many people – soldiers and civilians – and that baseball’s popularity had everything to do with surging American nationalism.
Kirsch recounts stories of great players and introduces entrepreneurs who found new ways to invest in the sport. Kirsch also touches on the exclusion of African Americans from the sport and shares stories of the rise of sports journalism. It was a tumultuous time, bubbling with activity and change, and Kirsch uses the historic period as a backdrop to an even greater story of baseball’s coming-of-age.
Kirsch, who has taught history at the College for more than 30 years, is the author of several books, including The Creation of American Team Sports. He is the editor of two volumes of Sports in North America: A Documentary History and co-editor of the Encyclopedia of Ethnicity and Sports in the United States. He has served as a historical consultant for Major League Baseball and Macmillan’s Baseball Encyclopedia.

The August 14 blackout that

Detroit was hit particularly hard; Betty Hurtte, the Detroit Public Library's interim assistant director for marketing, said that, at the mayor's request, the library stayed closed throughout the weekend. Branches reopened Monday, August 18; the Main Library reopened Wednesday, August 20.
Nothing stops payday
Cleveland Public Library director Andrew Venable told LJ that three people (two patrons and a staffer) were rescued from library elevators without incident. The mayor's office requested that public facilities and private businesses remain closed on Friday, August 15, but "that was payday," Venable said with a laugh. He and other library administrators manned an office so staffers could retrieve their checks.
The New York Public Library had no severe problems. The flagship Humanities and Social Sciences building at Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street borders Bryant Park, which became a campground for stranded commuters.
Harder hit was the Manhattan College Library in New York. Its servers were down for four days until they were manually rebooted.

HEADLINE: A MOST VALUABLE PITCH
BYLINE: By John Mariani Staff writer
For John Coppo, perhaps the coolest part of throwing out the first pitch at Wednesday's New York Mets baseball game at Shea Stadium was the guy at the receiving end: pitching ace Tom Glavine.
"He's Tom Glavine," explained the Christian Brothers Academy sophomore, 15, laying heavy emphasis on both the first and last name. The best part for Coppo's mother, Pat, was that the anticipation leading up to John's appearance distracted her and her four children from what otherwise is a dreadful anniversary: Sept. 11, the day the Coppos lost their husband and father, Joe, in the World Trade Center attack.
"It made all the difference in the world, this time around," Pat Coppo said Thursday from New Canaan, Conn.
The family made its home there and in Skaneateles until recently. Now Coppo and her younger children are living with her mother, Virginia Brennan, of Taunton. They plan to build a house in Marcellus.
John Coppo was one of four boys, all children of Sept. 11 victims, who got to throw ceremonial pitches. The Mets provided the opportunity by sponsoring a game day for Tuesday's Children, an organization for young Sept. 11 survivors, Pat Coppo said.
John's invitation came from a friend who lost a son in the attack and knew of the Coppo family's passion for baseball. Joe Coppo pitched for Manhattan College and turned down a chance to hurl for the Cincinnati Reds, opting for a Wall Street career.
John wore the jersey of his father's baseball idol, Tom Seaver, as his name was flashed on the scoreboard and echoed over the public address system.
"It's almost like Joe orchestrated the whole thing," Pat Coppo said.

Division Grads Playing Pro Ball
This past summer, Division Avenue High School had three of its graduate baseball players playing professional baseball.
<extraneous deleted>
Lastly, Ryan Darcy, a 1999 graduate of Division and leading member of the 1999 Long Island Championship team and recent graduate of Manhattan College, was signed as a free agent with the New Jersey Jackals of the Northern League. The Jackals are located in New Jersey and their home field is Yogi Berra Stadium, site of the Yogi Berra Museum. Ryan also had a fine season as a rookie, posting a 2-2 record. At one point during the season, Ryan racked up a total of 18 straight innings without allowing an earned run.
In true Division fashion, both Darcy and Fagan helped their teams into the playoffs. Ryan's team got knocked out in the first round but Shawn's won their first round in a three out of five series. As luck would have it, Shawn had the game-winning base hit in the pivitol fifth game to send the New Haven Ravens onto the Double AA Championship series which is currently being played.
Congratulations to all three players for their tremendous seasons and continued success as they prepare for promotions in future assignments within their own organizations.

Men's club soccer wins season
opener
BY RAWEN HUANG
Contributing Reporter
While the varsity men's soccer team defeated nationally ranked No. 19 Stanford over the weekend, the men's club soccer team also kicked off its new campaign with a comfortable 3-1 victory at home over Manhattan College.
Captain Christian Dietrich '05, Damon Benedict '06 and Michael Gray '05 scored for the Bulldogs (1-0). The Elis again will participate in the North East Regional Tournament of the National Association of College Soccer Clubs this year. The club soccer squad competes during both the autumn and spring months.
Last season, after a disappointing fall start, the Bulldogs rebounded to secure a winning record overall. The Elis improved over the spring matches and earned a semifinals appearance at the Cornell Invitational in April. At the Cornell tournament, Yale defeated strong sides from Georgetown and Boston College before narrowly falling to Delaware in the final round, 1-2.
The victory over Manhattan College (0-1) marks the beginning of the program's second serious season.

Senior Emma Astrom notched the lone goal in the first half to help Stetson shut out Manhattan College Sunday at the Stetson Soccer Field. The Hatters improved to 3-2 overall, while Manhattan fell to 0-4.

I too would find it interesting to connect with people who attended and/or graduated from Manhattan College (I'm not comfortable with the PC term "College Experience").
I am retired from the Navy and have some free time to dabble in the web, (once I escape the spam and unwanted porn that seems to permeate the web these days.)
So the long and short of it is - I want to join the Jasper Jottings to keep up to speed. Perhaps I will learn something and at the same time contribute with any news I find as well.

John, great job. Your commentary on Dr. Heckman is almost beyond belief - a sad commentary on "JUSTICE' in American society. The under-current in everyday life to the acceptance of mediocrity and discrimination of the truth in all phases of private and public life is unconscionable. As a 1948 grad (originally 1943 interrupted for WW 2) I am saddened by this national cancer. ------------------------------------Bill Halsch

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.

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 neither support nor any official relationship with Manhattan College. As 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.

Employees get cars at taxpayer expense
From the woods of Loxahatchee to the shores of Tavernier, Miami's multimillion-dollar fleet of employee cars peppers more than a thousand driveways in one of South Florida's most liberal and expensive take-home car programs.
In fact, a Herald analysis of the program shows that if Miami's public servants strung together their daily commutes, they would drive around the world each day -- with fuel, insurance, repairs and maintenance all provided at taxpayers' expense.
The daily price tag: $13,139.
