People Looking for People
We've taken a new approach to this section. It's been re-organized by Henry Lichtenstein as an online spreadsheet. Rather than publish the list here, it's now available below. If you have found the person you are looking for, please let the editors know so the name can be removed from the list. If there's someone you're looking for, just send your request and we'll be happy to add it to the list. If anyone knows these folks, send an email to:

HUGE CONTRIBUTION TO VIETNAM ERA MEMORIAL FUND!!
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Joe Platt, a classmate of mine (HHS 1964) and neighbor, for his most generous contribution to the Hicksville Vietnam Era Memorial Fund in the amount of Seven Thousand Dollars ($7,000.00). With this most generous contribution, we have surpassed our funding goal and can start construction at the memorial site where the already cast bronze plaque will be dedicated and mounted.
I must add that Joe did not serve, but was compelled to help the fund bring recognition to those who did during an era in our country's history that was tearing us apart from within.
Please do not stop the contributions for there is a lot of work to be contracted, plus maintenance of the site and study grants to students of the community - all of which will take additional funding.

HICKSVILLE VIETNAM WAR ERA MEMORIAL - PROJECT UPDATE
November was a tremendous month and our biggest single month ever, with 6 new donors, plus 3 repeat donors bringing in an additional $9,391! The tremendous generosity this past month of Joe Platt, HHS 1964, was a huge help to November receipts. Please see the home page article written by Jay Tranchina, a Project Team member, regarding Joe's contribution.
In addition to Joe, it was great to see excellent contributions from 5 other new donors, along with our repeat donors.
We have now exceeded our $25,000 goal with $28,788 in total contributions. For those of you who have not yet made a contribution, you still have time to be part of the Memorial. Details on where to mail your donation check are shown in the complete Project Update, which appears in the Honoring Our Veterans section of this newsletter. As always, should you have any new information to report for either the Confirmed or Unconfirmed Lists of Names, particularly to fill in missing data on the Confirmed List, please email me at
On behalf of the Project Team, I'd like to wish each reader of HixNews a Wonderful Holiday Season, along with Happiness, Prosperity and Good Health in 2018!
Sincerely,
Joe Carfora, HHS 1962
