Exhortation
http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/2006/sep/06092907.html Fake 'Catholic Voters Guide' Published by Former Aide to John Kerry Attempt to recapture the Catholic vote launched by Democratic supporters By John-Henry Westen ***Begin Quote*** WASHINGTON, September 29, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) - An attempt to recapture the Catholic vote has been launched by Democratic supporters. A new 2006 Voter Guide has been put out by "Catholic in Alliance for the Common Good" (CACG) a group headed up by Alexia Kelley who in 2004 worked as a religion advisor to John Kerry in the closing weeks of his campaign. ***End Quote*** Caveat Emptor. Not every thing labeled "Catholic" is "Catholic". It's easy to be fooled. It's a fool to be easy. It's easy for me, since I don't like politicians of either persuasion. Of course, me fellow alums are much smarter than this dub old injineer, and us such, will be discriminating who they take "information" from!
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 reinke--AT—jasperjottings.com

He was raised in Johnstown, N.Y., where he played shortstop on the high school baseball team in 1931. Tony, as he was called, earned a Bachelor’s Degree from Manhattan College and a Master’s Degree from Columbia University. He was a certified public accountant and had his own retail and accounting business. He and his wife, Caroline, now deceased, settled in Queens, N.Y., where he started a Republican Club and was District Leader of Queens County for several years. Surviving are his daughter, Gaetana LaSalle, an accountant; his son, Joseph Suraci, an attorney; a granddaughter, Kristie Suraci, college student; and a sister, Angeline Suraci, retired teacher. {MikeMcE reports: Dear John, I believe that Anthony was a member of the Class of 1943. May He Rest In Peace. Mike (Thanks, Mike.) } http://www.queenscourier.com/articles/2006/10/19/news/obituaries/ooobituaries01.txt Obituaries Anthony Suraci Thursday, October 19, 2006 2:36 PM CDT Anthony Suraci, a long-time community and political activist from the Long Island City/Sunnyside area, passed away on September 29 after a long bout with Alzheimer's disease. He is survived by his children, Gae LaSalle and Joseph Suraci, his son-in-law, Michael LaSalle, daughter-in-law Carol Suraci, granddaughter Kristin Suraci and sister Angeline Suraci. His wife Caroline passed away in 2005. Funeral services were held at St. Jude's Church in Mastic Beach. Born in Calabria, Italy, Suraci came to the U.S. at nine months of age. After high school, he attended Manhattan College, from which he graduated at the top of his class with a business degree in 1938. Suraci then received a master's degree from Columbia University and subsequently became a certified public accountant (CPA). In the 1950s and 1960s, he owned a chain of women's apparel stores in New Jersey and New York. After he was forced to close due to competition from the burgeoning shopping centers and malls, Suraci became the comptroller of William A. White, a major real estate company, and later, the Director of Internal Audit at New York University. He continued in private practice as a CPA well into his 80s, when he fell ill. Ever civic-minded, Suraci served as president of the Thompson Hill Civic Association, president of the Woodside Republican Club, and Cubmaster of Cub Pack 221. He is best known, however, for leading a successful challenge for the New York State Assembly against the Republican organization in the 37th Assembly District, led by former State Senator Martin Knorr, when his son, Joseph Suraci, defeated Michael Matonis, the organization candidate, in 1982. The elder Suraci was a driving force behind the United Republicans of Western Queens. Among the many charitable acts performed by the club were the distribution of surplus food to the needy, annual holiday toy drives, and the donation of clothes to homeless veterans.
