Finders not keepers in honest Japan
From: AAP August 18, 2011 6:28PM

*** begin quote ***

JAPANESE people have turned in about 3.7 billion yen ($A46 million) found in areas hit by the earthquake and tsunami in March, while 5700 safes containing 2.36 billion yen ($A29.2 million) have also been recovered, authorities say.

[JR: Of course, I find that folks doing the right thing on their own particularly inspiring, for a large region to do it is even more so. As you know, I need small challenges in measure of my abilities to overcome temptation. These folks are inspiring. I know my fellow alums can handle the big challenges. I'll take the little ones. It interesting that they kept so much cash at home. Wonder if I'm related to them, that was always a characteristic of my Mom and Grandmother. ]

Loss of Doran, former Jaspars’ Star, Felt

*** begin quote ***

He moved to officiating in the 1960s, an avocation he pursued for more than three decades. The tall, distinguished-looking Doran was a commanding figure as an official for both football and basketball. Your hoopscribe probably attended several dozen games that Doran officiated, and was always impressed by how he positively interracted with coaches and players.

Upon our arrival at JFK, the bus from Saint Raymond High School and JP Riley were waiting for the group. I remained at the airport for my flight to SFO three hours later, but I was able to get some last pictures as the group boarded the bus for the trip to Manhattan College where most would spend the night prior to moving on to their various home locations.

Subject: Any Manhattan Alumni in Virginia?

In a recent edition of the Manhattan Alumni Magazine Virginia ranked in eighth place among the states in number of Jasper residents. The Old Dominion was shown to be the home of 655 Jaspers. As might be expected New York was in first place with 20,588 alums while New Jersey was a distant second with 5,182. Rounding out the top ten where: Connecticut, 1,816; Florida, 1,399; California, 951; Pennsylvania, 782; Massachusetts, 676; Virginia; Maryland, 479; and North Carolina, 448.

John, thanks as always for your efforts in producing Jasper Jottings each week. All the best.

Thanks for calling that to my attention. Yahoo ate it. (The dog ate my homework.) I posted another copy into Yahoo for it to distribute. It was available at http://www.jasperjottings.com/ or http://jasperjottings-weekly.com/

Maybe we need a better tool. Like Constant Contact, but that will cost money. And, doing that (i.e., spending money) only makes sense if “we” move from the “free” model. Argh!

Factory-like mills feed ravenous NYC heroin market
By TOM HAYS, Associated Press –

Farther north, a mill was discovered across the street from Manhattan College in a Bronx apartment building where students lived. Workers there wore school sweatshirts to try to blend in.

*** end quote ***

[JR: I thought that the "neighborhood" didn't like MC students? So "blend in" may not be well thought out. I more concerned about the "relabeling" affecting the MC image. The neighbors may believe the sleaze wearing MC sweats are MC students. Argh!]

Subject: Jeremy M. Schnurr, Esq. 1978

Dear John,

I did another check for the Class of Jeremy M. Schnurr, Esq., and I still believe that he is a member of the Class of 1978. I find that he is now an attorney in Buffalo, New York, and was admitted to the NY Bar in 1982.

Maybe Mr. Moore is correct, and there are two Jasper’s named Jerry Schnurr, but if there is I do not find any record of a second one.

I am pleased to learn that a classmate of our son Michael, is also a subscriber and fan of Jasper Jottings!

Best,

Mike

[JR: Thanks, Mike. Much appreciated. I have great confidence in your research work. Hopefully all the "Schnurr's" will send us email and confirm our labels. If not, oh well. Yes, we have a few readers. It would be nice to have accurate stats, but that would mean spending money. And, it's not like were running an "Alumni Office" here. Just filling in an obvious gap. (Yeah, I know one venial sin for being catty!) Thanks for the continued effort. Your job secure on the research desk in the virtual Jasper newsroom. Like the CIC spot, no one wants it. ROFL! Sadly.]

http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/newstimes/obituary.aspx?n=Joseph-LaValle&pid=153499223

Joseph S. LaValle

Joseph S. LaValle, formerly of Wilton, and Sarasota, FL, died peacefully in his sleep following a long illness and surrounded by his family at his home in Lakewood Ranch, Florida.

He was 78. Born May 29, 1933 in the Bronx, NYC, he was the only son of Dominic and Lucille LaValle. A graduate of All Hallows High School in the Bronx, he worked nights for the US Postal Service to help pay his college tuition, graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree in engineering from Manhattan College and a Master of Business degree from Bernard Baruch College.

He later served in the US Army Corps of Engineers in Europe following the Korean War.

Mr. LaValle leaves behind his loving wife, Nancy, of 49 years and his four sons: Joseph and his with Cathy of Norwalk, Paul and his wife Claudia of Waterbury, Christopher and his wife Stacey of Wilton, and Michael and his wife Kelli of Hudson, Ohio. He also leaves behind four grandchildren; Joseph, Jack, Nicholas and Cassidy.

Upon his return to the U.S., Mr. LaValle worked as a civil engineer, including time with the Port Authority of NYC, during which time he met Nancy Iorio, and the two wed in September, 1962. For 18 years he worked as a Manufacturer’s Representative for the Flygt Corporation in Norwalk, CT and their sales affiliate, GA Fleet and Associates in Harrison, NY, earning several awards for sales excellence. In 1985, he became a principal in Fogarty and LaValle Associates in Wilton, again earning regional recognition for sales and service excellence.

Mr. LaValle and his wife Nancy lived in NYC before moving to Wilton, to raise their four boys. Growing up in the shadow of Yankee Stadium, he was an avid fan of the New York Yankees and New York Giants football team, and later played semi-pro football, serving as team captain with the Bronx Ravens.

He was a pillar of the Wilton Community, serving as coach and president for several youth sports organizations, including the Wilton Little League, and was a member of both the WHS Booster Club and the Wilton Rotary Club. He was an early pioneer of Wilton Pop Warner football where he served as coach, board member and president of the fledgling youth football program. He earned the respect and admiration of his players and peers with his tough, no-nonsense and value-instilled method of coaching and teaching.

Calling hours are on Friday, September 9 from 5 to 8 pm at the Bouton Funeral Home in Wilton. A Catholic Mass is to be held on Saturday, September 10 at 10:30 am at Our Lady of Fatima Church in Wilton, CT.

George Francis McNichol
1930 – 2011

George Francis McNichol, 80, of McCall died Monday September 5, 2011, in a Boise hospital.

He was born October 4, 1930, in Bronxville, New York, where he was raised. George graduated from Bronxville High School, in 1948. He then served in the United States Navy during the Korean War and was assigned to the USS Enterprise, the world’s first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier and the eighth US naval vessel to bear the name USS Enterprise.

Before marrying his wife Alice in 1959, George attended Manhattan College where he graduated in 1959 with a Baccalaureate degree in Business Management. In 1973 George and Alice founded and operated Apple Tree Design Depot in Washington, Connecticut, an interior design store catering to residential and commercial clients.

George’s hobbies included poetry, studying American and World history, learning the Italian language and gardening.

After operating Apple Tree Design Depot for 25 years, George and Alice pursued their dream of starting a new life in the west and settled in McCall in 2001. George and Alice were parishioners of The Our Lady of the Lake Catholic Church as well as Chaplain Assistants where they brought Communion to the sick. George loved the youth and always had a “pop quiz” or a little gift in his pocket to give the youngsters in the community. He will be remembered for his achievements, but more so for the love he gave and the selflessness of his actions.

George Francis McNichol is survived by his brothers Edward and Robert McNichol, his sister Dorothy Pratt, his three sons; Stephen, Joseph, Philip and one surrogate son, Kerry Mortell, six grand children Brendan, Matthew, Nathaniel, Elaine, Garret, and Ali and three great grand children Noah, Kennley and Hailey.

Preceded in death were George’s wife Alice Ann McNichol on July 3, 2007 and his life long friend, Jack Kennedy on October 14, 2007.

The funeral Mass will be this Friday, September 9, 2011 at 10:00 am, at Our Lady of the Lake Roman Catholic Church. Cremation Service is under the direction of the Heikkila Funeral Chapel, McCall. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Passionist Missionaries Organization, “Holy Family Passionist Retreat” (860) 521-0440 ext: 116 in the name of George Francis McNichol.

Greece, N.Y. —

Nora Coco of Greece lost her brother, Lt. Joseph Leavey, a New York City firefighter, when the south tower of the World Trade Center collapsed.

“It still feels like it just happened,” Coco said. “You would never think such a catastrophic world event would touch your personal life. It is a hard thing to wrap your head around.”

Although the attacks took an emotional toll on Coco and her family, she reminisces about her brother fondly.

[JR: Newsworthy in that she's co-authoring a book. Of course, as a fuddy duddy fat old white guy injineer with 16 years of Catholic eddykation some of which had some degree of sticky-ness, I'd have left out "With the Dude in the Next Cube". But then I have an idealized romantic notion about women, their value, and their role in society. Besides I could NOT tell my Mom that title. And, that's always been the standard, be proud enough of anything I do or say to tell her. Rest her soul. But that title's probably why folks will read Jasper Brown's book and won't read mine. (Hint: I joke about "no sex" in mine. You should have met my mother-in-law. Scary on that topic. May she too rest in peace.) :-) Anyway Mozel Tov to Jasper Brown. I hope she sells a million. Be nice if she outsells Patterson. I'm sure she'll outsell me. Less hook ups is a step in the right direction. imho. ]

Comment on JLINKEDIN: Behan, James [MC1966] Senior Engineer 

by Richard A. Lawrence

Hi John,

I believe Jim Behan was class of 1968; Jim was one of my high school classmates and transferred from Manhattan to Union College in Schenectady in order to be closer to home. Glad to hear Jim is doing well.

Regards,
Rich

by Richard A. Lawrence

There is a studio on West 235th Street between Johnson Avenue and Netherland Avenue that advertises ballet; 10-15 minute walk from the Manhattan College campus.

Good thing it wasn’t there in 1964, we might have lost a great injineer — you — to your true passion — dance. ROFL! (Anyone who has ever seen an injineer dance knows how funny this really is. This fat old white guy injineer is no exception!)

Comment on JHQ: Newman Lecture 9/12 1600 

by jamesjbrown

I was enjoying the Life article on George Eastment. As a Loughlin and Manhattan grad in the 50's, he was a legend. The article is great but disturbing when I continued reading the magazine (1945) when it showed pictures of the war that I guess I had forgotten about. Everyone says the 50's were great and they were but we sometime forget that we grew up in the 40's. If you haven’t read the article you should.

ENDNOTE: Does pro-life stop at the water’s edge

Christianity and War
by Laurence M. Vance

*** begin quote ***

Many Christians have a warped view of what it means to be pro-life. Why is it that foreigners don’t have the same right to life as unborn American babies? There should be no difference between being for abortion and for war. Both result in the death of innocents. Both are unnecessary. Both cause psychological harm to the one who signs a consent form or fires a weapon. Why is it that to many Christians an American doctor in a white coat is considered a murderer if he kills an unborn baby, but an American soldier in a uniform is considered a hero if he kills an adult? In January of every year, many churches observe Sanctity of Human Life Sunday. Fine, but we need ministers who are as concerned about killing on the battlefield as they are about killing in the womb.

*** end quote ***

[JR: Hard to be pro-life when the country is allowing killing willy nilly. Hard to be pro-life when "everyone" supports the death penalty even in the face of evidence that it's often wrong and absurdly expensive. Hard to be pro-life when the "peace candidate" from the last election is starting wars at a drop in the polls. Life just gets harder as we get father from principles.]
