Dear Jaspers,
702? are active on the Distribute site. There are 39 bouncing. Yahoo adjusted their count. When I have time I'll figure out what the right number is.
As of 3/26, the Jasper Jottings site had 270 page views yesterday. Total page views this month: 10582!?!
Praying for our Holy Father to have the "good death"; as if there could be such a thing. Even in death, he demonstrates that life is not "ours". It's merely "loaned" to us in order for us to make our contribution. Sadly so it must be his time to go home.

of love saved from Reagans' former home given to === <begin quote> === As a part-time estate liquidation consultant, Hirsch had seen other young couples put a symbol of their love somewhere in their home -- perhaps their names etched on a wall or in a tucked-away corner. But over the course of three months, Hirsch failed to find any sign of the Reagans in the ranch-style house where they'd lived in the mid-1950s. Then, last fall, when he was removing pots from a backyard walkway, he came upon a dirt-encrusted piece of concrete engraved with a heart and the initials "ND" and RR." "I got a hose and washed it off and said, oh my goodness," Hirsch said. Hirsch
had found the "Amalfi Valentine," a name
he later gave the etching found at the Reagans'
former address on He
received permission from the executrix of the estate to remove the 60-pound concrete
slab, then made a short video of his discovery which
he sent to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation. He received an
invitation to the presidential library in <extraneous

Reagan remembers well the day her husband drew a heart with their initials
inside in the concrete patio of their home on === <end quote> === When we do the “right thing”, few hear about it. When we do the “wrong thing”, eventually everyone knows about it. Regardless
of politics, this story touched me. I hope when the test comes, as it will, I
can be as magnamous and pass up the “ill-gotten”
gains. I hope my test isn’t too tough. Imagine if the rock was worth grazillions! The temptation would be might be too great.
I hope my rock is only worth a quarter. I know I am weak. Mine will probably
be accompanied by large amounts of whining, hand wringing, rationalizations,
self-delusions, excuses, and “bargains” (i.e., Lord just let me have this one
and the next one is yours). Pray for me when it comes ‘cause
I have been trained by society to be a moral midget. I am sure that everyone else
will pass their “test” easily and with a lot less angst than mine. |
Reflect well on our alma mater, this week, every week, in any and every way possible, large or small. God bless.

Alert for: "manhattan college" -"marymount manhattan
college" -"borough of manhattan
college" Three seats are up for grabs in this year’s Matawan-Aberdeen Regional Board of Education election, including two representing Aberdeen and one representing Matawan. Marinella, 48, of Marinella said he is running for a third term because he feels the district is headed in the right direction, and would like to ensure that it continues to do so. He is especially proud of all the renovations made to the buildings through the referendum. He feels his six years of prior experience makes him an asset to the board, and that it can help move things further along in the right direction. Marinella said if he is re-elected, his top goals and priorities will be to help reach an agreement on new teacher contracts, to see all the building projects through to completion and ensure that each school is fully staffed with high-quality people and to see student test scores improve. Rubino, 47, of Rubino said she is running again because three years just isn’t enough time, and there are too many things that she would like to see through. She said her previous three years on the board allow her to offer an experience perspective on all subjects. She said she finds it extremely important for the people to understand what is in a budget, and what the tax increase it creates actually comes to monthly. She also said that if people understood what is in the budget and how minimal the monthly increases actually are, it might be easier to pass one. If re-elected, Rubino plans to focus on seeing the reorganization through, improving the academic ability of the students by offering new programs and classes to pupils and teachers, and to educate people on the budget. Challenger
Donald Franklin, 37, of “I think I’ll give a new fresh life to the board, and I’ll give them an ear to the public, which is not there now,” he said. If
elected, “I believe that when you send your child off, they should be in safe hands, and that’s what I’m trying to accomplish,” he said. Kenneth
Aitken, of This is Aitken’s second time running for a seat on the board. He is seeking his first term. Aitken could not be reached for further comment regarding his campaign. Two on ballot for Matawan The election process for the open Matawan seat uniquely differs this election season. Running for the seat are Charles Kenny and Arthur Fumarola, who passed away last week. Fumarola’s passing occurred after the deadline to have his name taken off the ballot, ensuring his name remain in the running unless removed by a court order. Fumarola’s wife, Marge, said that the family will take no action to have her husband’s name removed from the ballot, but will not actively run his campaign. The family hopes, however, that out of respect for his name, people will still get out and vote. If Fumarola does win the election, his seat will be considered vacant, and the board will appoint someone to it after accepting applications and interviewing Matawan residents. The appointment will hold the seat for one year, and will then have to run for election next year in order to serve the remaining two years. In an article in last week’s edition, Board president Cathy Zavorskas made statements explaining the process of how the election would work, but feels that these statements as seen in print have implied that she was suggesting residents vote against Kenny. Zavorskas said that her statement simply meant that voters should know and understand that they still have a choice in who to vote for because there will be two names on the ballot, and they can vote for whomever they wish. Charles
[Chuck] Kenny, 40, of Kenny said he is running because he has been following the business of the board and has viewed the need for professionalism. He said that he could bring a unique perspective to the board through his experience as a trial lawyer. If elected, Kenny plans to work hard to maintain the fiscal responsibility of the board, make sure that tax dollars are put to the best possible place, to ensure the safety and success of the children.

The
Journal News ( Disappointment on track drives Saunders senior to drop football Kelton Cumberbatch crossed the finish line of the 400-meter hurdles race at last May's state qualifier. Everything seemed to go as planned, and Cumberbatch had an impressive second-place finish in 56.2 seconds. Unfortunately, he missed the state qualifying time by two-tenths of a second. "I was really upset because I was so close to going to states," said Cumberbatch, a senior at Saunders and this week's Con Edison Athlete of the Week. "That race made me want to take running to another level." Cumberbatch turned his disappointment into opportunity. Prior to that race, track and field was simply a way for Cumberbatch, an avid football player since seventh grade, to stay in shape in the offseason. The former cornerback and wide receiver joined the track team in the spring of his freshman year to increase his endurance for football. It was difficult, however, to ignore his natural talent on the track. "He was tall, so we started him on the hurdles," Saunders track coach Joe Intervallo said. "He showed promise right away. Hurdles is an event that takes two or three years to perfect, but with his great work ethic, he persevered." With the encouragement of Intervallo and his desire to improve as a runner, Cumberbatch decided to dedicate himself to one sport. A team captain in track, he gave up football for cross country last fall. "You can't do everything," Cumberbatch said. "Once I put football aside, I could put all my focus on track." Cumberbatch admits that he misses playing football, but his track career has given him plenty to be proud of. His list of events proves the range of his talents. Cumberbatch was recently named to the all-county indoor track and field team in four events - the long jump, 55 hurdles, 300 and 800 shuttle hurdles relay. As
a sophomore, Cumberbatch became the "I like to give everyone a chance at all the events and see what works best," Intervallo said. "But Kelton is good at them all." On March 11 in the National Scholastic Indoor Championships at the New Balance Armory, Cumberbatch competed on the 4x55 shuttle hurdles club team that earned all-America honors in 31.05 while finishing second. His Yonkers Striders relay also placed second in that event the following day at the Nike Indoor Nationals in Landover, Md. Cumberbatch's success extends to the classroom, where he
studies electronic computer circuitry and has an 87 academic average. He will
attend "When he competes against other athletes who are as serious and talented, they'll raise his level," Intervallo said. "And he'll rise to the challenge." The

Pete McDermott [1967] John, Alex
McAuley (B.E.E. '66) was recently honored as the
"Catholic Big Brothers Man of the Year" at a dinner in === Catholic Big Brothers Man of The Year Dinner Nov.18, 2004 Thank you, Dan. When you were honored here last year, I remember describing you as one of my favorite people in the whole world. After that intro, you've been upgraded to my undisputed favorite, not just one of them. (I swear I didn't tell him to say any of that stuff!) I'm pretty sure it was Churchill who said nothing focuses the mind like knowing you're getting hanged in the morning. Well, I'm embarrassed to say getting this award comes close although I'm not comparing the two events at all. Since I'm, hopefully, not getting hanged tomorrow, I'll just have to trust that my wife and my firm will forgive some of my lapses in focus these last few weeks. Right up front, there are two groups I absolutely must thank. First, Joe Mino and his lean staff at Catholic Big Brothers. Joe and Joe Policing, Jr. really made this evening come together despite my serious doubts and fears. In this last month, I got a glimpse into Joe Mino's beautiful Brooklyn-bred soul and I love what I've seen. Joe jumped in this year to breathe new life into CBB and I hope you're seeing some early results of his efforts here tonight. So, thank you Joe and staff. Next,
I'd like to thank my associates from Putnam Investments, Jeff Gould and Jack Kerivan all the way from When I attended my first Big Brothers board meeting a little over 25 years ago, I couldn't have dreamed of ever experiencing anything like this. I'm overwhelmed and appreciate every single one of you for being here and for your support. It's especially nice to be sharing the experience with my great friend, Tommy Quinn. Since we first met, "T", I've admired your big heart and your passion for life. That passion has had a huge impact on the success of this agency for many years. Congratulations on your well-deserved Darcy award. Dwight Darcy was an unbelievable human being and it touches my heart to know that you and Danny are the first two recipients of the award named in his honor. Looking back, I can't help remembering how impressed I was by the quality of the individuals who preceded me on the Big Brothers board. People like Jimmy McEntee (my great friend Phil's quote "big brother" - so glad you're here Phil) and Tom Christman, Sam Ramirez and Bob McGuire, to name just a few. And after I met popular NY Giants Football players, Tom Costello and Bob Hyland, also board members, I'm proud to say they've become friends for life. I was struck by what wonderful role models all these guys were. It was no coincidence that the basic premise of the Big Brothers program was to provide inspirational role models for boys (and later on, girls) who really needed them. I've found it exasperating in recent years, as I'm sure you have, that some celebrities today actually say they don't feel any responsibility to be good role models to our young people. Pardon me, but are they nuts? What can they possibly be thinking? Thank God there are so many others, like Costello and Hyland and more recently, Pam Lawrence, the Joe Pollicinos, junior and senior, and Donny Ross and Peter McCusker, who always go out of their way to help us; people like Tiki Barber, a past Big Brothers award-winner, and our own Johnny Graves and Andy Entwistle and all our Big Brothers/Big Sister volunteers. They, thankfully, aren't buying into that "I-got-mine" kind of selfish thinking. As athletes, business people, or in whatever they do, they are all setting enviable, worthwhile examples for today's youth. I'm so glad you got to meet and hear Brian Buckley and Glenn Johnson earlier tonight. Brian's nearly lifelong relationship with Board member George Diskin and Glenn's touching description of the rich rewards of his relationship with his little brother, Sean are what Catholic Big Brothers is all about. They are what your generosity has been supporting for so long. On a personal note, the size of my birth family has been alluded to already tonight and it dawns on me that I know most of the people in this room. In fact, my family's so big I think I'm related to most of the people in this room and that insured a pretty good turnout. A couple of anecdotes from my childhood might explain why I eventually got involved with Big Brothers. I
have a very fond memory as a nine-year-old of a lovely summer's day way back
in 1953, in our A
few years later, we had moved to He
flew an amazing 68 combat missions in his beloved B-26's, almost DOUBLE the
normal number of 35 that usually earned a pilot a trip back home to the
states. We didn't learn that fact of his service until long after he was gone
and we came upon his flight records in a dusty basement. Those records showed
also that he was flying and dropping bombs on Looking back on my childhood, I've come to realize that though we always had food on our table, we were relatively poor. We just didn't know it at the time. Our parents didn't tell us. We also didn't know how lucky we were to have a loving father who survived the war. (It's never lost on me that the "loving father" part is often the missing ingredient in our little brothers' lives that Big Brothers tries to overcome.) You history buffs will certainly know that many bomber pilots never saw their families again. But
my father did come home from the war feeling blessed and an unabashed
Patriot. He taught us from infancy that we live in the greatest country on
earth with only And
since those boys became a part of our family for that short time we were the
talk of the town? As you might imagine, they went everywhere with us

just briefly on (and in defense of?) my "alleged" athletic career,
I believe I can summarize it by saying sports for me, especially baseball and
basketball, were the first passions of my life. I had enough ability to get
All Hallows and Years
later and a few years before I was introduced to CBB, I took an outrageous step towards unabashed
social climbing by applying to and being accepted against-all-odds at Plandome CC. A wonderful man named Danny McCarthy would
never take full blame for it because he said he had been served way over his
normal allotment of scotches on the day he told me I was accepted at the
infamous Men's Grill bar. Looking back, that was truly a defining day in my
life because it allowed me to come in contact with so many Runyanesque characters as well as the most generous
people you could ever meet in a lifetime. There's simply not another entity
that has done more to support and keep CBB alive than Plandome
Country Club these last 25
years. There are far
too many to single out but I'd like to pay tribute to one of our most beloved
senior members because he has been a special gift in my life since my father
died way too young. Another WWII hero and my "adopted" father, Joe
Hughes, has been a great friend and supporter of CBB
ever since I joined the board. And as most of Plandome
will tell you, the good Lord threw away the mold when he created "Big
Joe". The earliest known winner of the Martini drinkers Super Bowl

impossible to thank everyone individually as much as I'd love to but I must
recognize just two more people who've affected my life enormously. Bill Reel
retired to Secondly, having mentioned "A Wonderful Life", there is a real live George Bailey in the audience tonight along with two of his sons, Ridge, and Sean. Love all those Baileys. Mr. Bailey, whom I hadn't seen in several years until tonight was one of my father's best friends and has been an incredibly steady role model to me for over 50 years for the way he's lived his life and handled adversity while raising his beautiful family. Mr. B., would you mind identifying yourself? I'm honored and delighted you went out of your way to be here. Nearing the end here, I realize I've used the term "role model" quite a bit tonight? 5 times in case you're counting. It was intentional!! If I can dare to leave one message behind, especially for the younger people, that's consistent with the mission of CBB, it's this: Choose your own role models very carefully, don't be fooled by glitz, fame or fortune - they're all so fleeting - and start today to be the very best one that you can be for all those you touch. I promise you, you will never regret it! And
last, but far from least, there's also been much said tonight about the
importance of family. I've been enormously blessed in my life to have the
family I have: my many brothers and sisters and their spouses most of whom
are here tonight, my beautiful, selfless and inspiring wife, Jane, our
children, Sean, Tim, Megan and Heather and their incredible spouses and
children. To steal a line from a QUINTESSENTIAL role model, the great Lou Gehrig, you all make me feel like "the luckiest man
on the face of the earth"! We've all shared our lives together so it's
only fitting that I share this humbling recognition and award with all of
you! Thank you Catholic Big Brothers for the honor of a lifetime! And thank
you - each and every one of you from the bottom of one very grateful heart!
God bless you all!!! God bless Big Brothers!!! And God bless ### [JR: Absolutely a great contribution. I read it several time. Now we need the "editorial staff" to go thru and id all the Jaspers in it.] |

Mary Kingsley [1996] What constitutes participating on this list? I want my name to be on the list as well. Mary Kingsley-Arguello Class of 96 === From:
Jasper John '68 Hi Mary'96, Now I am confused by the question. "Participating on the list" is an interesting concept. As far as I am concerned, "on the list" is being registered with the Yahoo Distribution group. That's regardless if you take the email or not. It just gives me a count. "Participation" is being a reporter, writing email (even if the writer doesn't agree with my opinions, but with those opinions I am sure every right thinking Jasper does agree!), or helping our fellow Jaspers. Some are trying to land a job. Others are trying to raise funds for breast cancer, disabled Jaspers, or other worthy causes. (I even bought a Jasper Cheerleader's calendar) Others are just looking to connect for information or nostalgia. So we have a lot of ways to "participate". Basically, I even report in the weekly "jotting" those Jaspers who merely update their contact information with my Plaxo or Corex Cardscan update service. I have yet to have people report how they use Jottings. So, I am not really sure what you want, but if at all possible I'll try to accommodate you. John'68 |

Terri Schiavo's Law This
Federal Law recognizes that every individual is endowed by their Creator with
certain inalienable rights, among these is the Right
to Life. Just as Roman citizens could only be put to death by the Emperor, a
la As such, it is assumed that individuals wish every effort to protect their life, unless they decline, or have declined this Federal protection in advance. Such a declination must be done in an appropriate written notarized authentic document (i.e., durable power of attorney; living will; appointment of a health care proxy) that meets the Federal standards of evidence. Congress will determine exactly when every individual is assumed to have this right (i.e., conception; birth; age of majority; some chronological age; or delegate to the individual States to decide). Further, Congress will establish such rules and regulations as to define and codify the process and procedures around protecting this right. The
President of the Any Federal Court may, on its own if an egregious case within its jurisdiction becomes known, or if petitioned without regard to the petitioner's standing, must assume jurisdiction, conduct a factual finding, and appoint a guardian over all matters concerning such an individual. Failure to act in such a situation will be deemed by the Congress as prima facie evidence of malfeasance. Such judges will be deemed unfit and removed from office. Any Federal Officer is empowered and directed to take such action to protect that individual from harm until a determination of status is made by a competent court, or directed by the President.
