HICKSVILLE VIETNAM WAR
ERA MEMORIAL - PROJECT UPDATE
Our full Update for
January, 2021 appears in the Honoring
Our Veterans section
of this newsletter. It is actually a repeat of the
November Update, with the exception of a new donation in January in
the amount of $20.
Given the surge in virus
cases with colder weather and the new, more contagious mutation coming
from England, we expect this will remain the case for a number of future
months, but hope the effect of the new vaccines will give us momentum
again by late spring to early summer of this year.
We are pleased to again
report that our core action team is safe from the virus. We are
thankful for this and hope the same is true for all our readers and
alumni.
While the Dedication
Ceremony remains on hold, please remember that the
Memorial is complete and can be viewed by anyone visiting the Memorial
Gardens located on the south side of the Jerusalem Avenue Middle School.
The project will be
officially complete once we are able to conduct the Dedication Ceremony
at the Memorial.
On
behalf of the Project Team,
Joe

Each month, we
profile a former student that has submitted a biographical sketch of
their life. This month we have highlighted Steven
Ragusea from
the class of 1964. Many of you have not used the opportunity of
sharing precious moments with other classmates. It’s not too late to
submit a sketch to be included in the Alumni
Bio Section (click
the link on the left to go to the bios section) of the newsletter. We
are including a writeable document that you can fill in on you
computer and, after completing the document, forward to editors@hixnews.com
Robert Edward Gleason Wesley 1943-2010
An
accomplished musician, Bob had a radio show in
Along
with a co-host, Frank, the duo made music that the community really
enjoyed.
He
loved music and travelled to local hospitals, nursing homes and assisted
living facilities and performed for the residents free of charge.
His
passing saddened many. Bob “partied hard” over the years and realized
his activities would tell its toll eventually. He survived open heart
surgery only to find himself spending time in the hospital for a string of
illnesses that did eventually cut his life short, too short. I
remember fondly the time he travelled from Dannemora to His
daughter, Heather and granddaughter, Rebecca remember Bob as a warm,
wonderful person who they miss every day.
