LaGuardia College names academic hall for Maltese
By Joe Anuta

*** begin quote ***

Educators at LaGuardia Community College dedicated an academic hall last Thursday to former state Sen. Serphin Maltese, a man who worked with lawmakers across the aisle and who has a lot in common with the students at the college.

“Serph Maltese is old-school,” said Sen. Michael Gianaris (D-Astoria), who spoke at the dedication. “He goes back to a time when things were bipartisan and cooperative.”

Maltese, a Republican, was elected in 1989 to the 15th Senate District, currently held by Sen. Joseph Addabbo (D-Howard Beach), and represented neighborhoods ranging from Howard Beach up through Maspeth and Middle Village.

Now his name sits permanently above a doorway on the fourth floor of a converted warehouse at 29-10 Thompson Ave. in Long Island City that used to house the Sunshine Biscuit Co.

Bannan, Alfred J. “Al” [MC Connection Unclear RIP]

[JR: Jasper, I doubt it. Attendee, maybe. xFaculty, possibly. I could use a little help here? The University doesn’t have his CV up; can’t find his book publisher’s bio’ Amazon shows the book cover only. Argh! Frustrated. Spare a prayer for a good man. I’ve written my own obit; how about you?]

Dear John,

Thanks for sending this on. Don was a dear friend of my brother Ed and as a result of our family as well. Ed was able to make the wake even though we had lost contact over the last few years.

   May He Rest In Peace.

Mike,

Just trying to make a difference to our fellow Jaspers. “Doing obits” is a sad duty, but I missed my best friend in high school’s passing for lack of such a notification service.

DuBois, John [MC1968 RIP]

Long story short, he went underground due to the draft. I followed my conscience and went to the USAF. He got involved in underground railway and drugs; I got a security clearance. The “undeclared civil war” of the time divided us. I could have gotten the 70′s version of “Rendition” and brought unwanted attention to him. So we shook hands and went our separate ways.

Many times I’ve thought of “what could have been”. I would have liked to been able to go to his wake. He died in a traffic accident a few years later, but I didn’t find out until nearly a decade later.

Makes me sad. And, mad. Mad that I missed it. And, mad at all the politicians and bureaucrats that sold us down a rat hole. A lost generation. So many lives cut short, ruined, and unalterably changed.

I just shake my head. What could have been.

So, I’m glad when my efforts can make such things as reconnection possible. It’s nice to hear it. Keeps me plugging along.

Thanks,
fjohn68

[JR: Without Mike's help, I'd have been overwhelmed with Jasper Jottings years ago. I still get a lick out knowing that this makes a difference. And, I can't understand MC's short sightedness in its "social media strategy". They fail to understand the basic premise of networking: "First seek to help; then, be helped." Here's hoping that you, my fellow alums, find this helpful. Else it's just a very sad monologue. Your email contributions make it not so sad.]

MALTESE FOR ELECTION BOARD
Monday, August 9, 2010 6:16 PM EDT

*** begin quote ***

Former politicians really never stop serving their constituents.

Ex-State Senator Serf Maltese wants to be of service again. This time around he is running not for just one seat in city or state government, but to run all the elections in the city as executive director of the Board of Elections (BOE).

In a letter to George Gonzalez, deputy executive director of the Board of Elections in the City of New York, Maltese said that he had the confidence and backing of his Queens County Republican Chair, the Honorable Phil Ragusa, and the Queens County Republican Commissioner, the Honorable Judith Stupp, as well as Senator Marty Golden.

Walsh, Joe (MC1958)

Time for me to preach!

POINT#1

http://reinkefaceslife.com/2010/02/27/service-your-isp-email-address-is-a-trap/

http://reinkefaceslife.com/2007/07/14/productivity-changing-email-addresses/

Now MC again gave out “lifetime” email addresses. And, I know the good folks who did it. BUTT (there’s always a big but) you should ALWAYS own your own email address. You might trust MC, but they might be sold out to SUNY by the Gooferment. (Yeah, I know my tin foil hat is on too tight.)

Note this is different than buying email service from say Yahoo. At Yahoo, you become FriendOfBrotherJasper @ yahoo dot com, that’s the same problem as FriendOfBrotherJasper @ Your ISP dot com.

You need to OWN the part after the @!

And, I don’t particularly care what you call yourself. Or who handles your mail. Go buy FriendOfBrotherJasper dot whatever. Then use Google to handle the mail or the Service Provider. http://www.1and1.com/?k_id=9113251 but there are many other domain registrars. Mine is just the one I recommend.

(Disclaimer: If you use that link and sign up, I probably get a dime of your something a lot less than 20 bucks. This monumental inducement has not prejudiced my recommendation. But there some new FTC rule about blog payola so there I’ve disclosed this tremendous conflict of interest. Argh! Gooferment diktats!)

That name FriendOfBrotherJasper dot whatever is yours for as long as you pay the annual ten buck registration fee.

And it will never change.

POINT#2

You can control your own Yahoo subscription.

To subscribe send an email to: Distribute_Jasper_Jottings-subscribe@yahoogroups.com with your name and class year.

To unsubscribe send an email to: Distribute_Jasper_Jottings-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com.

Minimal effort on everyone’s part.

We now resume your normal entertainment broadcast with the program already in progress.
