If you are a member of the press and wish to cover the induction ceremonies, or for more information on the respective inductees, please contact Scott Silversten at (718) 862-7232 or e-mail {privacy invoked} . Manhattan College is located at West 242nd Street near Broadway in the Riverdale section of the Bronx, one mile from the Westchester County line and accessible by MTA subway line 1. Marsh, who resides in Evanston, IL, enjoyed an outstanding two-year career at Manhattan after transferring from the University of Nebraska. A Dean’s List student, he was named an All-Metropolitan performer as a junior. While serving as co-captain in his senior season, Marsh received the Doc Sweeney Award as Most Valuable Player of the annual game against Fordham, and was selected to play in the Big Apple Classic. Drafted by the Golden State Warriors in the eighth round of the 1977 Draft, Marsh started 50 of the 60 games in which he appeared, making him the Jasper who has participated in the most NBA games in history. A three-time second team all-Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference performer, Runge was also a two-time Academic All-American and was a member of the Epsilon Sigma Pi and Delta Mu Delta honor societies. Twice named all-Metropolitan and a three-time MAAC All-Academic honoree, he was named to the MAAC All-Rookie team as a freshman. A resident of Yonkers, N.Y., Runge currently ranks fifth on the College’s all-time scoring list (1,622 points), fourth on the career rebounding list (894) and also ranks in the top 10 on the career lists for rebounds per game, free throws made and attempted, field goals made and attempted, and field goal percentage. Walters was named a Playboy Preseason All-American prior to his senior season. A two-year player, as a senior captain he averaged 22.7 points, a figure that ranks sixth on the College’s single-season scoring average list. His career scoring average of 20.4 points per game ranks fourth in Jasper history. A two-time all-Metropolitan selection, Walters was named the top Junior College transfer in the East by Eastern Basketball magazine in 1978-79, and the MVP of the Fordham game in 1979. He was an eighth-round pick by the Washington Bullets in the 1979 NBA Draft and currently lives in Columbia, MD. Solano, also a resident of Columbia, MD, coached the women’s basketball team from 1983-92, winning the program’s first two MAAC championships in 1987 and 1990. She posted an overall record of 138-121, which ranks first in wins and second in winning percentage in school history. Named the New York State Collegiate Basketball Association’s Coach of the Year in 1987 and the Metropolitan Collegiate Basketball Association’s Coach of the Year in 1990, Solano had 12 of her players receive all-MAAC recognition, including one All-American and MAAC Player of the Year, Sheila Tighe. In addition, seven Lady Jaspers that played for Solano, including five of her recruits, have been inducted into Manhattan College’s Athletic Hall of Fame. Somma led the Lady Jaspers to the MAAC title and an NCAA Tournament berth as a senior en route to being named MAAC Player of the Year, Metropolitan Player of the Year and Associated Press Honorable Mention All-American after finishing third in the nation in scoring (25.6 ppg). She graduated with 1,838 career points and 819 rebounds, ranking third and fifth, respectively, in those categories in Manhattan College history. Named second team all-MAAC as a sophomore and junior, Somma led the Lady Jaspers in scoring, steals and blocked shots three times, and rebounding four times. She resides in nearby Hoboken, N.J. One of the most accomplished throwers in Manhattan College track and field history, Ogle graduated holding school records in the shot put, the discus, and the weight throws. He won the shot and weight titles at the Junior Metropolitan AAU indoor Championships as a sophomore and junior As a junior, Ogle, who lives in New York City, led the Jaspers to the Junior National AAU Indoor Championship with first-place finishes in the shot put and weight, while breaking the meet record in the weight with a throw of 57’ ¼”. His throwing prowess also helped lead Manhattan to team titles at the Metropolitan ICAAU Indoor, ICAAAA Indoor and Met ICAAU Outdoor Championships. A decorated member of numerous winning one-mile relay teams for the College, Pina began his Jasper career by going undefeated in the indoor 600 and the outdoor 400-meter dashes. As the leadoff leg for the mile relay, he consistently handed the baton off in first place for a team that did not lose a race for three years. Among the races that Pina helped win were the 1952 National AAU Indoor Mile Relay Championship, the 1952 Milrose Games mile relay, the 1953 Penn Relay Championship of American, and the 1952 and 1953 Los Angeles Relays mile relay, with the team’s time at the 1953 meet establishing a school record. Pina is a resident of Nokomis, FL. Houlihan, who lives in Tuckahoe, N.Y., was a key member of the Crew team during his time in Riverdale and helped the Jaspers capture the Grimaldi Cup Regatta and the Metropolitan Intercollegiate Rowing Championships in the Heavyweight 4+ event as a junior. He led Manhattan College to its first ever appearance at the Intercollegiate Rowing Association Championships before competing for the New York Athletic Club as a postgraduate. After a fire destroyed the team’s boathouse in the fall of 1978, Houlihan’s enthusiasm rallied the team and paced two varsity boats to wins at the Grimaldi Cup and to the team championship at the MIRA Championships, taking home wins in three events. The 1994-95 Men’s Basketball team stands as the only MAAC team to receive an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament. Led by Fran Fraschilla, the squad set the school record for wins, posting a 26-5 record and won the MAAC regular-season title in convincing fashion with a 12-2 league mark. In the first round of the NCAA Tournament in Memphis, TN, the Jaspers upset 17th-ranked Oklahoma, 77-67, before falling to Arizona State. Entering the tournament, the team was ranked among the national leaders in wins, winning percentage, field goal defense, scoring margin and field goal percentage. The 1956-57 Men’s Basketball team ranks among the best ever at Manhattan College, having won the ECAC Holiday Festival Championship in a year that featured the tournaments largest field. The win over Notre Dame in the championship game was the first tournament title for the Jaspers, who became the first Metropolitan team to win the prestigious event. The team’s success garnered them a national ranking, as the Jaspers were ranked as high as 10th by the United Press and 13th by the Associated Press. Six players from the squad are current members of the Manhattan College Hall of Fame, including five 1,000-point scorers. The team earned a bid to the National Invitation Tournament and had three players named to the all-Metropolitan team. # # #

From: Mike McEneney [1953] Sent: Wednesday, November 22, 2006 1:38 AM To: John Reinke Subject: Judge Philip G. Minardo, '63 Dear John, Here is an article that I believe appeared in the Staten Island Advance this week. Judge Minardo has been the Administrative Judge in Staten Island since last December. At one time he was Counsel to State Senator John Marchi, '42 Mike === Tuesday, Nov. 21, 2006 Justice, in his new role, is honored Trial Lawyers Association fetes Philip G. Minardo at a gala at the Hilton By FRANK DONNELLY ADVANCE STAFF WRITER Justice Philip G. Minardo made history last December when he was appointed the first-ever administrative judge for Staten Island state Supreme Court. Last night, the Staten Island Trial Lawyers Association feted the St. George resident as a boon to the borough at a gala at the Hilton Garden Inn, Bloomfield. "I think that not only is the Staten Island legal community fortunate to have him as a judge, but as an administrative judge," said William F. Mastro, associate justice of the Appellate Division for the Second Judicial Department, who introduced Minardo. "[For] the first time we have our own voice, and believe me, that voice is as effective as it is respected. He has done an outstanding job." Prior to Minardo's appointment, Staten Island had been the only borough without its own administrative judge. All Island administrative matters, including judicial assignments and budget, staff and expense requests, were funneled through Brooklyn. "Judge Minardo is a no-nonsense judge who makes his presence felt," Steven Finkelstein, president of the trial lawyers association, said in a brief interview before the event. "He's got the type of personality, I believe, that is very effective at getting things done. The qualities that he brings to the table are certainly what we want for an administrative judge on Staten Island." Minardo, 65, has worn many hats in a distinguished legal career launched in 1968 after his graduation from St. John's University School of Law. From 1969 to 1976, he was a prosecutor in the Staten Island district attorney's office, where he handled major felony cases. He then entered private practice for the next 19 years, forming his own law firm and specializing in civil and criminal trial work. Minardo also was a member of the Richmond County Bar Association's Board of Directors and became the group's president in 1987. He has served as the Staten Island representative to the New York State Bar Association House of Delegates and was a member of the Character and Fitness Committee of the Appellate Division, Second Department. Keenly interested in politics and public service, Minardo was special counsel to state Sen. John Marchi (RStaten Island) between 1988 and 1995. In 1995, he was elected justice of state Supreme Court, Second Judicial District. Minardo initially served as a trial justice in the criminal term of Brooklyn state Supreme Court. In 1997, he returned to Staten Island, where he presides over civil cases, in addition to taking on the added responsibilities of administrative judge last year. Currently, Minardo is the vice president of the Association of Supreme Court Justices of the City of New York.

http://www.thejournalnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/ article?AID=/20061118/SPORTS02/ 611180366/1050 http://tinyurl.com/vo7td Tribou resigns as Greeley football head coach By Joe Lombardi The Journal News (Original Publication: November 18, 2006) Horace Greeley varsity football coach Bill Tribou said he's "open to anything" as far as his future is concerned after submitting a letter of resignation on Monday and telling team underclassmen of his decision on Wednesday. Tribou, who has led the Quakers to a 109-55-1 record and 10 bowl appearances in 15 years, declined to specify the reason for his decision or say when he reached it. "I'm not at liberty to say anything," said Tribou, who guided Greeley to an 8-2 season this fall and a 13-7 win over Poughkeepsie in a Donald DeMatteo Class AA Bowl game. Tribou, who said he plans to remain a physical education teacher at Greeley, said he planned on applying for one of the lower-level football coaching positions at the school. He did not rule out the possibility of applying for a coaching post in another district. He applied for the vacant Scarsdale position after last season, telling team members he planned to resign as Greeley varsity coach effective Jan. 1, 2007. This is not the first time Tribou has submitted a letter of resignation at Greeley. He resigned following the 2002 season, citing personal reasons, but rescinded his resignation less than three months later, saying that an outpouring of parental and community support convinced him to stay. Asked why he resigned in 2002, Tribou said, "I can't remember now. More than anything, I was just fed up and burned out." At the time, Tribou denied speculation he was disappointed he did not get the school's athletic director's job, and would not comment about the status of his relationship with the man who did get the post, Steve Young. Young, who acknowledged that he did receive Tribou's resignation letter, commented about his relationship with Tribou when asked about it yesterday. "Yes, I have a good relationship with Billy," Young said. "Billy's done a great job for the program. He's given a solid foundation and I appreciate all his efforts. This year was a tremendous year for the program. They played great in Class AA." Asked why he applied for the Scarsdale job after last season, Tribou said, "I felt I could have changed my salary for the long run and really that was it." Tribou said he did not plan on recommending anyone to be his successor at Greeley - if his resignation does indeed stick this time. "I want to stay out of it completely," he said. "There's just too many good people out there. I don't want to offend anyone. I don't even know if they would ask me." Tribou's tenure with the Quakers included a trip to the 2001 Class A state championship game in which the Quakers fell to the Aquinas Institute of Rochester 22-15. Greeley won its first sectional football title in school history by beating Nyack 7-6 in the sectional final that season. Greeley is 1-4 in the class championship games under Tribou. "The highlight here has been the hard work of the kids," said the 50-year-old Tribou, a Manhattan College graduate who was an all-state nose guard at Roosevelt High School before becoming a Marine. "They have just put in an incredible amount of time and bought into what myself and my coaches have been trying to sell. These players and parents have been awesome. I never had a bad day with them." # # # {mcALUMdb: (Unregistered) } {MikeMcE reports: Dear John, I believe that Bill was a member of the Class of 1981. Mike (Thanks, Mike.) }

http://www.freenewmexican.com/news/52608.html News: 10 Who Made A Difference 10 Who made a difference: Herman Agoyo Video Profile of Herman Agoyo http://www.freenewmexican.com/news/52616.html By SHANNON SHAW | The New Mexican November 23, 2006 Herman Agoyo, a lifetime member of the Ohkay Owingeh tribal council, sat in the pueblo’s council chambers last week as he prepared for a council meeting. He was made a lifetime member of the council after he served as the pueblo’s governor in 1992, but being a member of the tribal council is just one of the ways he helps the pueblo, community members and his family. “A long time ago I sat down with my grandpa and he retold the stories I heard as a young boy,” Agoyo says. “I had been wanting to do that for a long time and when I got to that point with my grandpa, he was loose in his memory. I don’t know how many stories I have on tape, that I’ve translated in English, but I have shared them with my children.” Agoyo, who is fluent in Tewa, has eight children and six grandchildren, all of whom participate in pueblo dances and ceremonies. All of his children have received an education, one at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and another at Stanford. Agoyo himself received his bachelor’s degree from Manhattan College and a master’s from the University of New Mexico in guidance and counseling. What he means to his family and community is apparent at the many awards and tributes Agoyo has received in just the past few years alone. Agoyo, along with being the pueblo’s realty officer and Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act representative, also serves roles within the pueblo’s cultural inner workings but he declines to discuss those roles in order to preserve tradition. In 2005, he received the Spirit of the Heard Museum Award in which his entire family recorded a video with each telling Agoyo what he meant to them in their lives. When museum officials played it back at the awards reception, he was overwhelmed. Agoyo has served as the Executive Director for the Eight Northern Indian Pueblo Council and was instrumental in the placing of the statue of the Ohkay Owingeh leader Po’pay in Washington, D.C.’s Statuary Hall. Agoyo is active in the Ohkay Owingeh Senior Olympics program, publishes poetry and articles when he can, and is the founder of American Indian Week of the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center in Albuquerque, as well as the co-founder of the ENIPC Arts and Crafts Show. Agoyo also has been lieutenant governor for his pueblo four times and was chosen for an article in a 1993 commemorative issue of Newsweek magazine as one of the 50 most influential Americans. One of the things he is most proud of is the growing participation of the younger generation within his pueblo in the areas of ceremonies, language and dances. “We try to maintain a balance of modern-day advancement and keeping traditions alive and meaningful for the younger generation, and I think we’ve seen a renaissance of participation,” Agoyo says. “We will always be there to carry on the traditions and set an example for the younger generations following us. That’s very rewarding, especially to be able to carry on the traditions that have been left for us and in that process you learn a lot.” ### {MikeMcE reports: Dear John, I believe that Herman was a member of the Class of 1958.

Goals for All to Achieve At the workshop, students learned about the U.N.’s goals for world peace and justice, along with ways young people can make those goals a part of their college education. The program reflects the goals of Catholic higher education in general and St. John’s University in particular. Founded by the Vincentian Fathers in 1870, St. John’s promotes the values of St. Vincent de Paul, who strived to improve the lives of the needy through education and service. During the day-long event, students learned how the U.N. works to promote social justice and improve the lives of the needy throughout the world. Students paid particular attention to the U.N. Millennium Goals, which states that the following objectives are possible to achieve by 2015: * Eradicating extreme poverty and hunger * Ensuring that all young people complete primary school * Promoting gender equality and empowering women * Reducing by two-thirds the mortality rate of children under five * Reducing by three-quarters the ratio of women dying in child birth * Halting and reversing the spread of HIV/AIDS and other major diseases * Ensuring environmental sustainability * Fostering a global partnership for development The workshop emphasized the observation by U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan that these goals can be achieved not by the U.N. itself, but by “each of its Member States, by the joint efforts of their governments and people.” Service Around the World These goals have special resonance for St. John’s University, which encourages students to serve others in the New York area and around the world. On a global scale, St. John’s offers a variety of initiatives to help students learn the value of diversity and service. This spring, for example, the University launches “Discover the World-Europe,” a unique study abroad program that allows students to earn 15 credits in one semester through course work and service opportunities in Rome, Paris and Salamanca, Spain. The student leaders from St. John’s who participated in the day-long workshop represent such campus organizations as Campus Ministry, Habitat for Humanity and the Social Justice “Living-Learning Community.” St. John’s established various “Living-Learning Communities” in the University’s residence halls to promote student leadership. {JR: Why do I suspect some big government brainwashing? Poverty, especially the extreme kind, is caused by government. Each one of those bullet points make me think "slant"!}

From: Peter E. Dans '57 Sent: Sunday, November 19, 2006 10:58 AM Subject: [=reinkefj Contact Request] Hi John: Just a note to say that the signings for my new book "Life on the Lower East Side; Photographs by Rebecca Lepkoff 1937-1950" went well at the Lower East Side Tenement Museum, CUNY's Gotham Center and Ms. Lepkoff's gallery in the Fuller Building on 57th Street. Rebecca is 90 years old and sharp as a tack. The book published by Princeton Architectural Press is a combined memoir of my family, hers, and the time as well as a photography book with 170 pictures she took of our old neighborhood especially the area between the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges where I lived in a cold water flat dating at least to 1811. Robert Moses demolished it to build the Al Smith housing project. The next signing will be on December 7th at the Henry Street Settlement where an exhibition of her photos will be held from 11/20 to 12/29. By the way, I don't mind the Giuliani articles. I learned something from the last one. Keep up the good work. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. Peter E. Dans '57 {JR: Great unit of work. I'll keep the Rudy articles as they come. Best wish right back at you. }

From: Kevin Moore (1980) Sent: Tuesday, November 21, 2006 6:55 AM Subject: [=reinkefj Contact Request] Dear CIC, Just a quick note to report on the Prayer Vigil in Long Island City that I informed you of last week. We had about 80 people praying besides Bishop Daily, and very few entered the facility. There was one official "turnaround". Considering that over the last 15 years over 350,000 babies have been killed at this one place alone, we had a very good day. I did not see any Jaspers I knew there, but there might have been a few. Thanks, and God Bless, Kevin Moore {JR: Thanks for the report. It's a national tragedy. This has been a national disaster in politics, in ethics, and in allowing us to be divided as moral people. I know that I want the "politicians" out of many things and this is one of them. It really should be left to individual's own conscience without interference from government, taxes, and "impartial groups" like Planned Parenthood that has a financial motive. We are killing our posterity. Please keep reporting. }

Even though there is no comparable holiday here, my Addis Hope street kids, such as the ones in the attachment, are in their own way thankful for your past support and hope that, if possible, you will continue to remember them. We now have more than 250 kids in the program and more and more of the new ones are victims of the AIDS pandemic in the country. We are working on getting them the needed antiretroviral medicines to prolong their life expectancy. I enjoy Jasper Jottings and thank you for all your efforts in putting it out every week. All the best, Brother Greg Flynn {JR: Brother Flynn included a picture that has to just melt the heart.

I did a web page by way of explanation. http://home.comcast.net/~jxymxu7sn5ho9d/Manhattan_College_ology.htm So your text should have said "... ... since enrolling in Manhattanville College ... ...". Then you wouldn't have been nagged by an old internet Jasper surfer. Now you know more about Manhattan College than you ever wanted to. Ain't the inet wonderful. Everybody is a critic! :-) Thanks for reading, Fjohn === The Guardian (Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island) November 21, 2006 Tuesday Hard work paying off for Island pentathlete SECTION: SPORTS; Pg. B3 {extraneous deleted} Andrew Gallant of Summerside and Dennis McNally of Souris have been instrumental in Manhattanville College's climb to third in the rankings. Gallant, a senior with the Valiants, has been the No. 1 goaltender with the school, located in Purchase, N.Y., some 25 miles north of New York City. In seven games, the Three Oaks graduate has six wins and a tie with a 1.55 goals-against average and a .938 save percentage. Gallant comes off a 2005-06 season where he went 17-5 and helped the team to the NCAA quarterfinals before losing in double overtime. Since enrolling at Manhattan College in 2003, he's gone 37-8-2. McNally, a former Valiant, is an assistant coach with the team. During his playing days with Manhattanville, he appeared in 49 games with 10 goals and 10 assists. His duties with the club include academic monitoring, player development, recruiting, digital video editing and team management. McNally was a two-time selection to the ECAC Division 3 West all- Academic team. Don Morrison can be reached at theguardian. LOAD-DATE: November 21, 2006

ZFound (Jaspers Found on Ziggs) http://www.ziggs.com Ziggs harvested all the public personal pages as a search engine would. Using their free offering, I have identified ~700 possible Jaspers from it. I'm planning to share 10 "found on Ziggs" Jaspers each week in the coming weeks. The first group moves in this week's issue. I don't like to overwhelm the readership with too much of anything. Besides "harvesting" takes a lot of time. And, these folks thought they could hide from Jasper Jottings!
{No time. No volunteers. So I hope to pick it up again when I have some spare time.}

Curmudgeon's Final Words This Week
http://stjohns.edu/academics/pr_aca_061120.sju ***Begin Quote*** # Ensuring that all young people complete primary school ***End Quote*** Wow, that's a corker! It assumes so many many things that the egotism just drips off of it. And, it also assumes that "primary school" is worth completing. And, what is "primary school" anyway? Reeducation in government propaganda, or something else. I read in the Economist magazine that in one country, parents paid for private education for their children – and there folks were poor – so that their children could have a better life and, in turn, help out the family. Spending more than a decade in an American government "public" school couldn't be good for anyone.
And that’s the last word. Curmudgeon
