CLARIFICATION FROM

Subject: Re: I want to clarify something.
Re: LMM '92
I'm sorry if I caused any confusion about the Lisa Muccilo project taking longer to complete. The decision to redo the locker rooms wasn't finalized until recently, therefore it is too close to the beginning of basketball season to start construction. I am truly grateful to the Athletic Department for allowing us to honor of our friend and I'm excited that construction will begin after the current basketball seasons. I just wanted to get the word out to our generous donors that we've reached our goal, came up with a wonderful alternative memorial, and to expect some news of its completion in the coming new year. Sorry again for not being more clear. Thanks for your time and God bless. ]
I know I'm going on with this, but I don't want any bad blood between my friend's department and those in development. I appreciate your "medium" allowing me to get the word out. Thanks again. and take care.
Have a great day.
:-)
[JR: Since this is a request to clarify, I want to place it where it would get an appropriate viewing. Being some what familiar with the events that have taken place. This is important for Jasper McGrath’s continued success in getting things done at the College. Hence the headline -- Editor’s prerogative! ]
[JR: This is part of the ongoing saga. I have seen it with
different alums and “received” it several times myself. That’s
why I wanted to give her email special attention. I don’t
understand the continued need for alumni to tiptoe around various elements of
the staff side of

From: Robert Helm (1951) Ladies and Gentlemen: This one broke me up. FNS sends -----Included Message----- The elderly parking lot attendant wasn't in a good mood. Neither was Sam Bierstock. It
was around 1 a.m., and Bierstock, a He pulled up in his car, and the parking attendant began to speak. "I took two bullets for this country and look what I'm doing," he said bitterly. At first, Bierstock didn't know what to say to the World War II veteran. But he rolled down his window and told the man, "Really, from the bottom of my heart, I want to thank you." Then the old soldier began to cry. "That really got to me," Bierstock says. Cut to today. Bierstock, 58, and John Melnick, 54, of Pompano Beach, a member of Bierstock's band, Dr. Sam and the Managed Care Band, have written a song inspired by that old soldier in the airport parking lot. The mournful "Before You Go" does more than salute those who fought in WWII. It encourages people to go out of their way to thank the aging warriors before they die. "If we had lost that particular war, our whole way of life would have been shot," says Bierstock, who plays harmonica. "Every ethnic minority would be dead. And the soldiers are now dying at the rate of about 2,000 every day. I thought we needed to thank them." The song is striking a chord. Within four days of Bierstock placing it on the Web (www.beforeyougo.us), the song and accompanying photo essay have bounced around nine countries, producing tears and heartfelt thanks from veterans, their sons and daughters and grandchildren. "It made me cry," wrote one veteran's son.
Another sent an e-mail saying that only after his father consumed several
glasses of wine would he discuss "the unspeakable horrors" he and
other soldiers had witnessed in places such as Bierstock and Melnick thought about shipping it off to a professional
singer, maybe a Lee Greenwood type, but because time was running out for so
many veterans, they decided it was best to release it quickly, for free, on the Web. They've
sent the song to Sen. John McCain and others in Already they have been invited to
perform it in "I think it's funny that the music-buying population is 13-and 14-year-old girls, but we're shooting for 80-year-old guys," Melnick says. === [JR: Here’s my reaction. ] I personally advocate the non-aggression principle. And I think that the politicians -- I would NOT call them Leaders, Statesmen, or even Honest! Or give those people any deference or honor. -- have done us a disservice by steering us into war either deliberately, stupidly, or by putting us in circumstances where was happened. Maybe things needed to be done? The Holocaust is a powerful after-the-fact argument for intervention! I can't know who did what to whom when. There may be similar or good arguments for our other interventions, mis-steps, and fights. But, what I do know that a lot of good men went and did what they perceived as their duty. Some of them never came home. Some came home broken physically, mentally, or both. I support the men and women who do and did the dirty work that "we" directed. On more than one occasion, I have argues that buildings and streets should be named for the KIAs and MIAs. Certainly NOT for living politicians, like the Lautenburg Post Office, nor dead ones, like the Lincoln Tunnel. I'll make an exception for George Washington. As such, I think, those vets deserve our respect. I am a
vet, but never left We can argue about the details, but they did the "heavy lifting" that no one should have to do. If we had good leaders, they or we wouldn't have had to. With that explanation, I recommend you visit this site. |

From: Matthew P. Schimmenti [1964] # # # Sent: Friday, November 04, 2005 7:52 AM Dear Jasper Matt’64, I checked the data in the “Distribute” Yahoo group and it looks fine. From Yahoo’s point of view, it appears that you’ve been receiving Jottings uninterrupted from June 1, 2004. If you haven’t, you might want to check how hotmail does spam. I know that every email originates from Distribute_Jasper_Jottings@yahoogroups.com, so you may have to specifically put that in a safe senders list or in you personal address book. Not being a hotmail user, I am not that familiar with their offerings. Can you confirm that there is a problem? From your question, I assume there is. I know from my work and reports on the Broadband ezine, that hotmail has had some problems in the past. But, I had NOT heard of anything recently. I’ll try to send you a test message from the Distribute group now, if you see it, please let me know. # # # From: Matthew P. Schimmenti [JR: Another happy subscriber. That’s what I am here for.] |

From: Mike McEneney [1953] Dear I assume that you the obituary in the NY Times today (11/04/05) at page C14 for Maurice D. Stack,'39. If not I have a copy. On page C2 there is a large paid add by NABORS INDUSTRIES LTD that is a tribute to Richard A. Stratton '68 , retired vice chairman of the board which reads: "Dick was instrumental in the company's success and uniformly well-liked and well-respected in the industry, not just for his business acumen but for his humanitarian efforts as well. His character and compassion will be sorely missed." Another great Jasper has left us to soon. [JR: That’s a great touch of class. I can’t “see” those things. Appreciate your showing them to “us”. ] |

From: Mike McEneney [1953] Dear Just a note to tell you that you were missed at the NYC Club gathering on Wednesday at Mutual of America (at least two people asked if you were there!), The new President of the Alumni Society, Jim Smith '60, welcomed the over 100 Alums and their guests that were present. Jim outlined some of his goals for the Society for the coming year and then introduced the guest speaker, Russ Schriefer '80, a founding partner of The Stevens and Schriefer Group a political advertising consulting firm. His topic was "A History of Political Advertising". Russ was
one of the best presenters that we have had at these events. He was very
proud of his Manhattan Education and attributed his interest and success in
the political arena to his Professors in Government. He singled out Professor
Eleanor Ostrau as one who really inspired him. He
said that even though they were at the opposite ends of the political
spectrum, they engaged in spirited discussions but always remained civil to
each other and became great friends. He started in the field by working on
the Molinari campaign for Congress and latter his
campaign for Boro President of His explanation of negative ads was very enlightening. He pointed out that focus groups, when shown positive ads and negative ads, said that they did not like the negative ads at all. However an hour latter when asked which ads they remembered it was usually only the negative ones! He also pointed out that the purpose of negative ads was not to draw in the undecided voter as much as it was to encourage your core voter to turn out on election day. He showed some early TV ads of the Eisenhower and Kennedy campaigns as well as some of the more famous (or infamous) negative ads. We have come a long way. Again it
was a very interesting evening, and you were missed, [JR: Thanks for the
great report. And thanks for fibbing about how much
I was missed. I had other commitments. Believe it or not
there are some things that take precedent over |

From: Robert Helm [1951] Good Morning, Ladies and Gentlemen: 1. We - 2. I really was not planning to sell but when one of my new neighbors took one look and said that her son would be thrilled, I got worried. Right after lunch, she appeared with said son and daughter in law and while his Lady and his Mother wandered around the rest of the show, he studied the entire square, commenting upon the tartans and the colors and the entire display. He purchased Bill Hocker's Camerons - produced in 1988 - and wrote a check signed Stewart Cameron MacCloud. (His late father was the President of one of the Clan Societies) 3. As it turned out, I had the largest gross of any of the participants - due to plain old stupidity on the part of middle management, who foiled proper advertising by saying that such was not included in the budget. Since part of the proceeds was to be donated to the Benevolent Care Fund, those G-21/2 half unter menchen cost the care fund quite a bit of money. Apparently, lat year, the staff and some of the local sewing circles and artists were invited. Last year's "take" for the Care Fund will be much higher than this year's pittance. (I digress) 4. When they have a stamp show around here, I can provide several frames for that. My respects to you all. FNS sends -----Original Message----- From: Helen A. Helm Here they are. Helen Helm = = = [JR: Ms. Helen snap two photos, shared with you in the following URL, for Helm51 to send along. But, if you were making money, why are you so stern. Neat hobby / business.

From: Edward J. McEneney [1959] Sunday November 5, 2005 Dear I enjoy reading JJ each week and I want to thank you for making it happen. My brother Mike '53B is also a big fan of yours. Best regards, [JR: (1) Invitation
sent. Thanks for recruiting. I estimate that we have about 7k living alumni.
My job a Jottings will be complete when we have everyone
of them reading it. ;-) No sense having goals if they aren’t
big. (2) I’m glad you enjoy it. I hope that everyone
does. I don’t get a lot of feedback – good or bad. But I know everyone’s busy. (3) Ahh
you know how easy it is to fool the old folk. Seriously, Mike has been a joy.
If all the Jaspers were as energized as he is, then Jottings would publish
itself. Thanks, [mcALUMdb: Genn,

[JR: It’s not a email to us. But it is public. So maybe, I have hit upon another niche for JJs. Rather than everyone having to check, here it is. Unless something shows there, that she might not want Mike to know about, I figure this will add a little life to the old Jottings. I wish I could have done something like this when I was her age. ;-) Heck I wish I could do it at any age. ] |

http://www.townhall.com/opinion/columns/walterwilliams/2005/10/19/171797.html A nation of sheeple === <begin quote> === President Bush informed the nation, during a press conference, that he might seek to use the U.S. military to quarantine parts of the nation should there be a serious outbreak of the deadly avian flu that has killed millions of chickens and 60-some people in Southeast Asia. That's the second time Bush has expressed a desire to use the military for local policing. The first was in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. The Posse Comitatus Act (18 U.S.C. 1385) generally prohibits federal military personnel and units of the U.S. National Guard under federal authority from acting in a law enforcement capacity within the United States, except where expressly authorized by the U.S. Constitution or Congress. Enacted during Reconstruction, the purpose of the Posse Comitatus Act was to severely limit the powers of the federal government to use the military for local law enforcement. Would Americans tolerate such a gigantic leap in the federalization of law enforcement? I'm guessing the answer is yes. In the name of safety, we've undergone decades of softening up to accept just about any government edict that our predecessors would have found offensive. <extraneous deleted> You say, "Hey, Williams, but it's the law!" In
the late-1700s, the British Parliament enacted the Sugar Act, the Stamp Act
and the Townshend Acts, and imposed other
grievances that are enumerated in our Declaration of
Independence. I'm happy that we didn't have today's
Americans around at the time to bow before King George III and say,
"It's the law." Respectful of the Posse Comitatus
Act, President Bush has suggested that he'll ask
Congress to amend the law to allow for the use of the The U.S.
Constitution's Article IV, Section 4 reads, "The United States shall
guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall
protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature,
or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened), against
domestic Violence." Coupled with the Tenth Amendment, "The powers
not delegated to the === <end quote> === You all know I love Walter. He even answers email when I copy him on my rants that springboard off his material. He’s very encouraging. So I’ll try and shake you awake again. Did’ya hear about what happened in NOLA? Maybe you didn’t grasp the significance of it. They storm troopers collected some guns and left the people defenseless. They dragged people from their homes or fooled them into leaving by intimidation. They were careful not to try to disarm the people who were willing to fight back. As well, they didn’t disarm all the private security forces operating openly in the city. No it was your usual gummamint response. Half hearted, lacadasical, inept, and ineffective. If you want to know how it’s going to end, I recommend a read of “unintended consequences” by Ross. At some point in time, you will recognize that “big government” has stolen: · YOUR PAST — Printing press money has eroded your savings 95% since 1975! · YOUR PRESENT — Taxes steal an incalculable unconscionable amount of what you earn (I’d guess 80%. You buy gas after paying income tax and pay another 50% in tax. It’s all hidden so you can’t see how bad you are taking it. We pay taxes on taxes. We’re slaves! · YOUR FUTURE — Our posterity is: indebted to foreigners with the National Debt that can’t be repaid; guarantors of savings accounts and pensions that can’t be met; AND will have to either make or abrogate the unfunded promises like social security and the medicare drug benefit. Now what are YOU going to do about it? Yup, you’re “sheeple”. Sheep-like people! Only good for being shorn and then killed for dinner when you’ve outlived your usefulness. Our country has become the proverbial “two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner”. And the workers are dinner for the politicians and the taking class. |
And that’s the last word.
