Dear John,

   As my brother Ed mentioned to you, I will be going into the Hospital for a long over due new hip on Tuesday. As a result I will be “off line” for a while. Ed has “volunteered” to fill in for me while I am unavailable, to supply you with the Class years that are missing from your finds.

   So, if you send him the “stuff” that I usually get he will try to get you the info.

   Say a Prayer and I will get back on line as soon as I can.

   Best,

   Mike

McEneney, Mike (MC1953)

[JR: Of course, I'm rooting for you to come out the other end of the process better for it. Maybe they can do the eyes on the same trip. LOL! I'm sure Ed is thrilled filling in on the thankless task.

Our granddaughter, Julia aged 16, was taken to the hospital by ambulance yesterday, Lowell General, and from there to Children’s Hospital in Boston.

She spent the day and night in intractable pain. Finally there has come some relief and our daughter, Jeanne, tells us that she is resting, and eating her first solid food in two days.

There have been issues with unfeeling and obstinate residents and such like, too.

Neurologists assigned to her have so far been puzzled. She is scheduled for a brain and spinal MRI tomorrow, and will undergo a series of examinations and tests by GI specialists.

Of your kindness please say a prayer that there will come some diagnosis and plan going forward.

It was brought home to me as I waited that there is that part of being a grandparent which is especially painful, waiting on the sidelines and praying and worrying about two generations of your loves ones.

[JR: Wish this was just an April Fool's joke. Suffering, any loved one's suffering, is gut wrenching. Especially when there's really nothing you can do about it. We, here on Jottings, have the best pray-ers. We had so much practice during exams in certain subjects. Good thoughts in her direction.]

   May She Rest In Peace.

[JR: Thanks, Mike, Phil, and Mike. Much appreciated. Sad news.]

Good Evening All,

Mike Brady,’05 has shared some tragic news with us this evening. Tom McNeil’s (’04) Sister was killed last night when a taxi hit she and her brother sometime after the Parade. Tom’s Sister was a junior at Manhattan College and very proud to be a Jasper. Tom’s older Brother is in hospital in critical condition. St. Patrick’s Day has always been an important day to Tom’s family. They marched in the parade each year and organized an after the Parade party for the New York Court Officers. This is a terrible thing to mark what was always a joyous day in their lives. Please keep Tom, His Sister and Brother, and their family in your prayers. We pray for the repose of the soul of Tom’s Sister and for the full and quick recovery of Tom’s Brother.

Thank you. God Bless.

Phil Colon

BALDWIN, N.Y. (WPIX) – A 20-year-old woman is dead and two other people, including her brother, from Baldwin, Long Island were hurt when a car struck them Wednesday night on Sunrise Highway, Nassau Police said.

According to detectives cab driver Allen Sinetar, 55, of Wading River, was traveling eastbound in his 2000 Chevy when, just before 11 p.m. Wednesday, he struck three pedestrians crossing the intersection of Central Avenue.

Kate McNeil was transported to South Nassau Hospital where she was pronounced dead by staff, said police.

Bryan McNeil, 25, was taken to Nassau University Medical Center where he is listed in serious but stable condition.

Samantha Koch, 20, suffered head, neck and back injuries and was listed in stable condition.

[JR: From the initial reports, it just sounds like a terrible traffic accident. As some one who HAS accidentally hit some one that wasn’t hurt, I feel terrible for all involved including the driver. Truly worth a “prayer request” to all Jaspers.]
