POSITRACTION: Homeless Magazine Seller gets a New VW Home

Homeless Magazine Seller is So Beloved By Locals, They Showered Him With Love and a New VW Home
By Good News Network-Jan 8, 2019

*** begin quote ***

“I guess I’d never thought about his living situation before and I thought there’s no way that he should be sleeping on the streets,” said Bamford. “So I set up the page and thought it might raise about £2,000 at most. But when I returned from Gambia after Christmas it had raised over £5,000, which was amazing to see.”

The campaign ended up raising over £7,000 ($8,900) in just two months – which was more than enough to buy Knight a plush VW van. A local camper van dealer even sold the vehicle at a discounted rate upon hearing about Knight’s story.

*** end quote ***

I love the charitable acts of private people; rather than looking to the Gooferment.

Thinking back to my time in a military barracks,  I wonder why there can’t be a for-profit “hotel” that offers these “luxurious accommodations” — I know they were luxurious because my DI told me they were — to the homeless as a transition to getting their act together.  It’s probably precluded by Gooferment zoning.  Just like the tiny houses movement.

Sigh!

An Evening with Erez Cohen, Author of Real Estate Titans and Real Estate Developer, Carlos Betancourt
Author Speaker Series and Wharton Real Estate Investment Group

Please join the Author Speaker Series and Wharton Real Estate Investment Group for an evening with Author, Erez Cohen and Real Estate Developer, Carlos Betancourt. In Erez Cohen's book, Real Estate Titans, he shares the advice and learnings of the world's leading real estate experts to create a guide for becoming a savvier real estate player.

Cohen draws on his experience as a research and teacher’s assistant at Wharton Business School with an investment expert—and his mentor—Dr. Peter Linneman. Throughout his career, Cohen has collected first-hand knowledge from meetings with such real estate titans as Ronald Terwilliger, Sam Zell, Joseph Sitt, and numerous others. Cohen wanted to understand how these real estate giants became so successful, so he refined his quest into three critical questions: What inspires these titans to work so hard and reach such extraordinary levels of success? What are the main elements and traits inside of them that propel them to be so grandiose? How have these individuals, who had less resources, succeeded on a much bigger scale than so many of their competitors?

Real Estate Titans contains the 7 key lessons distilled from interviews with several of the world’s greatest real estate investors. These critical lessons offer insight into the mindset, tactics, and habits that each of the interviewed titans possess. Once you implement these key ideas—which you won’t find anywhere else—into your business, it will grow exponentially within a matter of months.

Real Estate Titans offers an insider’s view into several of the most successful investors on the planet. The book’s compelling stories and lessons show why real estate is such a wonderful and important business, and it also offers a roadmap for becoming a world class real estate player.

Erez Cohen is Co-Founder and Co-CEO at Urbium Property Group where he oversees all fundraising efforts, acquisitions, dispositions and asset management. Prior to co-founding Urbium, he worked at Thor Urbana where was directly involved in the acquisition and development of almost 12 million square feet of real estate, with a value of over $2 billion. He also participated closely in all asset management, fundraising and investor relations efforts. Previously, he worked in investment positions at Apollo Real Estate Advisors, the Carlyle Group and Evercore Partners. In over 13 years in real estate, he has been involved in almost $4.0 billion of real estate transactions in Mexico, the United States, and Brazil in the residential, retail, office, hotel and mixed-use sectors.

Mr. Cohen is a Board Member of the Urban Land Institute where he was given the Rising Star Award and serves as a member of the Board of Trustees for an Orphanage in Mexico. He graduated summa cum laude from Manhattan College and received his MBA from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania where he was a Bucksbaum Fellow.

Gerald Dooley
1954 - 2019 Obituary

Gerard Gerry Dooley, 65, a long-time resident of Franklin, MA, died unexpectedly at Brigham and Womens Hospital in Boston on March 2, 2019.

As befitted a man who valued friends and family, he was surrounded by many of his loved ones at the time of his passing. Gerry, the fourth of eleven children, was born on February 26, 1954 in New York City to William and Cecilia (Moran) Dooley. He attended Our Lady of Angels Grammar School and All Hallows High School in the Bronx. He earned his B.Ed. in Education/English Literature from Manhattan College in 1976.

A standout athlete in his youth, Gerry maintained a lifelong interest in sports. After moving to Massachusetts over thirty years ago, he became an avid Red Sox, Celtics and Patriots fan, much to the chagrin of his New York-based family. After spending most of his career as an educator and administrator in the trade school industry, he re- invented himself as a realtor. For the past five years, he was a successful member of the Keller Williams Elite team in Plainville, MA. He was especially gratified to help military families buy their first homes.

Gerry was also an active member of the United Regional Chamber of Commerce. Gerry is survived by his high school sweetheart and beloved wife of over 40 years, Maryann (Crea) Dooley, his siblings and their respective spouses, Carol Ann and Kenny Brooks, Barbara and Kenny McLynch, Billy Dooley, Kathy and Brian Waters, Marybeth and Mike Garbellano, Ginny and Neil OKeefe, Chris and Carol Dooley, Sandy (Ricigliano) Dooley, Jeanine Dooley and Marcie Mul, and Annemarie and Phil Moynihan. His passing is also mourned by nephews, nieces, grandnephews and grandnieces too numerous to name but too cherished not to acknowledge.

He was preceded in death by his parents, his much-loved brother, Richard and his sister-in-law, Cathy Burke-Dooley, the late wife of his brother, Billy. It is impossible to fully comprehend the impact Gerrys passing has had on the extended Dooley and Crea families and all who love him. He was the life of the party -- a consummate storyteller, who reveled in making people laugh. He had a youthful spirit, lit up every room he entered, and left an indelible mark on everyone he met.

He put his heart and soul into everything he did, whether it was volunteer activities, his work or his family. He was a second father to his small army of nieces and nephews. Uncle Gerry made everything more fun, held court at every family gathering and made the large family Christmas celebrations even more memorable by making his entrance with the exuberance of Santa, invariably wearing a light up sweater, crazy socks and Holiday Crocs. Gerry was a larger than life, all around great guy and will be sorely missed by everyone whose life he touched.

Visiting hours will be held from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Wednesday, March 6 in the Ginley Funeral Home of Franklin (www.ginleyfuneral homes.com) 131 Main Street, Franklin, MA. The funeral mass will be held at 10:00 am on Thursday, March 7 in St. Marys Church located at One Church Square, Franklin, MA. The burial will be private. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Gerrys memory to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital (www. stjude.org) or Wounded Warrior Proect (www.wounded warriorproject.org).

He was educated at St. Boniface in Elmont, Long Island, Bishop Loughlin High School in Brooklyn, N.Y., and Manhattan College in Riverdale, N.Y., where he graduated with a bachelors in electrical engineering in 1959.

Upon graduation he worked for Hazeltine Corporation in Garden City, Floral Park and Greenlawn, Long Island, and simultaneously attended Hofstra University and Adelphi University. At Hazeltine Don designed many projects for NASA, including the design of the electronics control system for the " moon buggy", the Lunar Rover used on Apollo 15 (A test model of the Lunar Rover is on display in the National Air and Space Museum). He was responsible for the electronic design of the display system for the FAA air traffic control system, the Mariner C Solar Plasma detector on its journey to Mars, the Identification system for the SAM - D Missile system. Don did research in high-speed digital logic, as well as many other interesting projects.

Shortly after college, Don bought a house at candlewood Lake, Connecticut, where he met many people who remained lifelong friends. Don loved waterskiing, sailing, buzzing around in his beloved speedboat, and just being at the lake, year round weekends while living in New York and working at Hazeltine. He was president of the board of directors of Candlewood Knolls Community in New Fairfield, Connecticut, after having served on its board for several years. For many years he still loved returning to Candlewood Knolls to visit his good friends there.

In 1975 Don Met Jean Rolland, and Don moved from the East Coast to be with Jean in Laguna Beach. Before finally settling in Laguna Hills and Indian Wells, together they bought/built four new homes. Don went to work for Ford Aerospace in Newport Beach, where he designed missile electronics on many programs, for the Air Force, Navy and US Army including the design of support equipment for these systems.

After retirement in of 1992, Don became a full time resident of Indian Wells, where he and Jean enjoyed their many good friends. After serving several years on the Board of Directors of the Rancho Palmeras Property Owners Association, Don then served as President for 11 years and was honored to be Chairman Emeritus. He was also on the Board of Directors for the Log Cabin Republicans, and he enjoyed active membership in Prime Timers of the Desert, the Laguna Beach Festival of Arts Pageant of the Masters, Great Autos of Yesteryear, and the Roll-Royce Owners Club.

Don and Jean traveled wide and often, visiting all of the continents (except Antarctica (too cold) and more than 120 countries, making many friends all along the way. Jean and Don became Domestic Partners in May 2000 and were married in June of 2008. He truly loved and enjoyed his friends and relatives, and we will remember him always.

Don was pre-deceased by his father, Bill, his mother Peggy, and his brother Bill (Red). He is survived by his life partner and spouse Rolland Gosselin (aka Jean Rolland), of Indian Wells, and his brother Thomas of Pine Lake, Wayne, New Jersey and Patrick of Lynwood, Washington, and Nieces Kathleen, Erin, Colleen, Christine, and Keri, and nephews Raymond, Kevin, Michael and Christopher.

Services will be at Forest Lawn Cathedral City, 69855 East Ramon Road, Cathedral City, CA 92234. Visitation will be from 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. in the Ramon Chapel on March 10, 2019 and a Funeral Service at 9:00 am in the Ramon Chapel on March 11, 2019.

Knights of Columbus: Contradictory to MC’s Lasallian Mission
Posted on March 5, 2019 by The Quadrangle in Opinions & Editorials
by Rose Brennan, A&E Editor

*** begin quote ***

As many of us are likely aware, the Manhattan College chapter of the Knights of Columbus is being reactivated. It has been well-advertised, especially at weekly Sunday masses, which I attend, as I am a practicing Catholic. I was led to believe that the Knights of Columbus was simply a social group for Catholic men, and I was not opposed to it. In fact, this was originally supposed to be an article about the reactivation of the chapter.

So last Sunday, I picked up a few pamphlets for some preliminary information about the organization before I endeavored to write an article about it. I read some of them, and I was absolutely disgusted.

In one of the pamphlets distributed to students, possible activities for the Knights were listed. Most of the activities were harmless, and good-natured, but some of them were titled “Life Programs,” and this is where my support for another Catholic organization on campus completely dissipated.

Sister earned a BS in Spanish from the College of Mount Saint Vincent and an MA in Education from Manhattan College. She later received NYS teaching certification for N – Grade 6 and Spanish Grades 7 – 9.

Sister Rosemarie spent close to sixty years in the schools of the Archdiocese of New York, with all but one year in elementary education. She taught at the Academy of Mount Saint Vincent, Bronx; Holy Cross Academy, Manhattan; Seton Academy, Yonkers; and Immaculate Heart of Mary, Scarsdale. In 1954 she was missioned to Saint Mary of the Snow, Saugerties, her alma mater, where she taught for six years. Sister Rosemarie then returned to Manhattan to teach at Our Lady of Mount Carmel and Saint Francis Xavier. In 1968, Sister returned to the Bronx to serve at Saint Barnabas and Nativity of Our Blessed Lady. From there Sister Rosemarie went to Saint Joseph School, Florida, N.Y., where she
taught for the next thirteen years. In 1994, Sister volunteered at Saint Peter, Yonkers, for the next eight years, providing various services for the children and school administration. In 2007, Sister retired to
Saint Patrick Villa, Nanuet, but with declining health, she joined the sisters at Convent of Mary the Queen in Yonkers. In 2014, she was among the first group of sisters to form a retirement community at what is known today as Kittay Senior Apartments in the Bronx. It is here that she died Ash Wednesday, March 6, 2019.

Always kind and compassionate, Sister Rosemarie will be remembered by the many students she taught, as well as their parents and families. Sister’s sense of humor, generous heart, and love of community life are memories for those with whom she lived. She will also be remembered for her hobbies of solving jigsaw puzzles and crocheting afghans.

Sister Rosemarie was a dedicated Sister of Charity who served God with humility, simplicity and charity. We rejoice with her now as she is welcomed into the loving arms of our God whom she served so long and so well. Rest in eternal peace, Sister Rosemarie.

I remember Sister Anthony at Holy Cross Academy. She was a lovely, kind and loving person, always willing to be of assistance to those in need. I have thought of her often over the years, since, with happy memories. She was truly a Sister of Charity to her fingertips.

May she rest in peace and joy, in the arms of Jesus, her Spouse.

PRAYERSREQUESTED: Colon, Philip J. (MC1962) prays for three

2019-Mar-08

Good Evening All,

I ask for your prayers for three Intentions.

Please keep the prayers coming for Cathie McEneney. Cathie continues to improve and thanks you for your prayers. Please keep the volume up. Your prayers are much appreciated.

Please keep My Sister-in- Law, Joann in your prayers. She had her surgery this week to remove a small growth from her other lung and is in pain but it is being sent by treated with medications to help her heal and eliminate the pain. Over the past several years (7 or 8) Joann has had surgery and has been in remission from Ovarian Cancer. This time, the Cancer showed up in both her lungs. The MDs are confidant that this can be eliminated and we pray that they are right. Before each surgery, Joann has asked Peggy to please make sure I have her on the Manhattan College prayer list. Over the years our prayers have given Joann and her Family a wonderful outcome more than once. Thank you all.

i ask for your prayers for My Sister-in-Law, Eileen. Thursday Morning at about 5:30 Am, she was in great discomfort and took herself off to a local Walk in Clinic thinking that was the best way to relief. They were closed and on the way back home just steps from her home in Sayville, Eileen passed out, smashed into her neighbors truck, totaled her car and ended up in the Emergency Room at Southside hospital and immediately was admitted. Our Son Scott who lives nearby immediately got to Eileen organized 911 and the Fire Department, who were really caring and fast responders. Eileen is in ICU, Pneumonia among her ailments and being treated and tested. We pray for her complete recovery.

Thank you. God Bless.

Colon, Philip J. (MC1962)

JNEWS: Bruns, George [MC1966] ABA star; now winning coach

Manhasset coach George Bruns has fond memories of Coliseum

Bruns played there with the ABA Nets in the 1972-73 season and now is returning with the Indians, who are competing for the Long Island/Southeast Regional Class A championship.

The rise of the Manhasset boys basketball team has been one of the feel-good stories on Long Island this season. Having improved from 9-10 a year ago to 19-3, and having won only their second Nassau title in 22 years, the Indians — led by 73-year-old coach George Bruns — will face Wyandanch on Sunday night at NYCB Live’s Nassau Coliseum in the Long Island/ Southeast Regional Class A championship game.

For Bruns, walking into Long Island’s basketball cathedral will be filled with nostalgia and memories. It will be the first time he’s been in the building for a basketball event in more than 45 years.

The Coliseum, you see, was home for the most exciting time in his basketball life: when he played for the 1972-73 New York Nets of the ABA, coached by Lou Carnesecca.

“Things happen in funny ways, but I expect that it will jog a lot of great memories for me,” Bruns said during an interview at the Floral Park home he and his wife, Elene, have shared since 1970. “I wasn’t there long but, for my time in basketball, it was great times.”

What has paved Bruns’ road back to the Coliseum is a scrappy team of overachievers who dedicated themselves to making the most of this season in the wake of last season’s disappointment. The Indians competed together in summer leagues at Hofstra, in Hicksville and in Hempstead and bought into Bruns’ vision for what it would take to be winners.

“They are one of those teams where the whole is greater than the sum of their parts,” he said. “I am proud of them, but they should be proud of themselves . . . They find a way to win on the day they play.”
Long road to Coliseum

It was a much more circuitous route to the Coliseum the first time. Bruns was the late-blooming, fundamentally sound point guard at the since-repurposed St. Augustine Diocesan High School in his native Brooklyn. He was a walk-on at Manhattan College and ultimately improved into a starter who would, as a senior, make the 1966 all-Metropolitan team.

PRAYERSREQUESTED: Colon, Philip J. (MC1962) prays for McCarthy Family

2019-Mar-09

Good Evening All,

Tom McCarthy has shared an Update on his Parents, Katie and Tom, who have been in our prayers. Tom, his Parents, his three Sisters and the McCarthy Family thank you for your continued prayers and good wishes. It has meant a great deal to them.

Tom's Mom, Katie, has been doing well with extended recovery since having the stroke back on Nov. 27. After a week at Westchester Medical Center and 6.5 weeks at Burke Rehab in White Plains she transitioned to home care for a few weeks and began outpatient therapy this past week. She’s a trooper and is keeping spirits up (lots of laughs) despite still having some mobility issues (still using a cane or walker) and challenges with speech (mostly caused by the aphasia and difficulty finding the right words).

Tom's Dad, Big Tom did unfortunately get some bad news about dad just this past Wednesday. You may recall he was declared in remission a few months back, but there was a suspicious spot revealed in a recent PET scan. They did a biopsy to determine if it was indeed cancerous or just necrotic tissue/remnants from treatment but it was confirmed as the former. His doctors are devising a treatment plan likely to start immediately (next week) and include more chemo and possibly immunotherapy. On the plus side, it is localized and has not spread or metastasized and his doctor isn’t classifying it as terminal. There are some unknowns and the McCarthy's know that Big Tom is in for a tough couple of months but they are remaining positive. Please keep the volume up for these good folks. Thank you Tom. Thank you all. God Bless.

Colon, Philip J. (MC1962)

From Tom, my three sisters and I are fortunate for a fantastic support network of our aunts, uncles, and family friends and we certainly say our prayers of thanks.

From Tom, thanks for the continued thoughts and best wishes for the McCarthys and prayerful healing for Mom and Dad.

All my best,

Tom

ENDNOTE: Time to end the "(pseudo) War on (some) Drugs"

2019-Mar-09

pd-dea-raid-four-properties-arrest-17-suspects/


[JR  Triggered by a drug raid near my shore bungalow.: ]

IMHO, time to end the "(pseudo) War on (some) Drugs" and put the effort into treatment like Portugal has.  Otherwise, it's hopeless problem. 

They can't keep drugs out of prisons; so how insane to expect to be able to keep it out of the general population.

At least if addicts could buy their drugs at WalMart, Walgreens, CVS, and other pharmacies, then the drugs would be cheap and clean. And, addicts could get into treatment easier and cheaper than today.

We emptied the mental asylums and the politicians and bureaucrats promised to have local resources that never came.  Now we have crazy people roaming the streets and doing drugs.

We learned nothing from (alcohol) Prohibition and a lot of people died or went blind from tainted booze.  The drugs cut with rat poison are killing people.

The medical establishment gets folks hook on opioids and when it cuts them off, the folks move to heroin or worse.  Argh!
