JNews: McEneney, Mike (MC1953) ids Keenan, John [MC1951] in NYT

Dear John,

   Today’s (9/16/09) NY Times at page A18, under the National Briefing piece, reported that Judge John Keenan, ’51 sentenced a convicted Al Qaeda supporter to Life in Prison, stating that he was “a clear threat to public safety”. It looks as if the Judge has been busy lately!

   Mike

[JR: Thanks, Mike. Much appreciated. And, it sounds like he's defending us.]

John: Mark, aka Phase and I spent 4 years hanging out in the Quad…1972 – 1976. His wife Ellen and my wife Kate were classmates at CMSV class of 1977. Tim Ryan

Dear John,
   Tim is correct! I guess that I do need those new glasses (or should clean the ones I have!).

All the gory details

*** begin quote ***

I haven’t always been this way. I was once made of sterner stuff. As an R.A. in college I was the go-to girl when ever there was an incident on campus which required an unlucky someone to go to the hospital. It was such a frequent occurrence, that I knew which emergency room within a 20 minute or so radius of Manhattan College would have the shortest wait at any given time of day. The local ambulance crews and I were all on a first name basis.

*** end quote ***

Stagnaro, Melissa [MC????]

[JR: As an ex-first responder, this was pretty funny! It’s amazing what people will tolerate by way of injury before they will go to the ER or the doc.]

# # # # #

Dear Jasper MS: Last blog post was pretty funny. When I was on the first aid squad for 12 years, one of the duties of the “#3 Man” (often a woman or maybe a “cadet”) was to watch the various bystanders for “timbering”. :-) Like the “expectant father” in the delivery room. “TIM … BEEEERRRRRRR!” fjohn68

p.s., what is your class year?

I graduated in 1997.

PRAYERSREQUESTED: That Jasper’s child

*** begin quote ***

The great news is that Dr. Steinherz came out to see us after the procedures and said that preliminarily, “Everything looks good!” We were delighted! :)   Thank you so much for your continued prayers – they mean so much!

*** end quote ***

[JR: OK, the "sanitary injineers" prayer appeared to have worked. Now we need the ChemE's to pray for propofol to be extra effective. (I'm just making this up. I have no idea of anything after "looks good".) Seriously, with some many children sick, extra prayers are useful. As you can tell, I'm pulling for her. Anyone who likes bad jokes is worth it.]
