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:

We have an organized online spreadsheet that presents our current membership: available below. If you wish to add, subtract, or modify an entry on this list, send an email to:
HICKSVILLE VIETNAM WAR ERA MEMORIAL - PROJECT UPDATE
In December, two new donors and one repeat donor brought in an additional $200, bringingtotal donations to $17,922. Total donations are now about 72% of our $25,000 goal to build, place and maintain the Memorial.
With 170 donors, we have still received donations from less than 10% of theHixNews readership. So, if many of you who have yet to donate can spare as little as $10, we can easily achieve our goal. Please remember, all donations are tax deductible.
An alphabetical list of donors through December, along with details you will need to mail your donation, can be viewed in this month's MEMORIAL UPDATE in the Honoring Our Veterans section of the newsletter. In addition, this month there's a paragraph summarizing donations by year and the average received each month, since we began accepting contributions in October, 2014, the month the Project acheived tax exempt status from the IRS.
No new names were added to The Confirmed List of Names in December, so the total remains at 1,910 names. When you visit this month's detailed UPDATE, please remember that clicking on the two links near the bottom of the page will bring you to the complete Confirmed and Unconfirmed Lists of Names as of the end of December. And, If you have any new information to send us, please email it to me at
Happy New Year and Wishing each of you All Good Things for 2017!!
On behalf of the Project Team,
Joe Carfora, Project Coordinator, HHS 1962
Dear Classmates:
Following are some more of the many notes Bill Walden has received with your donations. These end of year notes, in particular, show how your fellow classmates feel about this project. They also make it clear that any amount you can spare will help us see the Memorial to a successful conclusion, with it's construction in the War Memorial Gardens at the Jerusalem Avenue Middle School (formerly our junior high and our high school before that).
