District Board of Education wishes to reach out to former graduates of Hicksville High
School as well as caring business owners scattered all over Long Island and New York
City for their support of the internship program described below. Please get the word out
and seriously consider giving a HHS senior an opportunity to gain valuable knowledge
and work experience.
As the District expands its program to provide the greatest amount of students with this
opportunity, it is seeking additional local business and organizations who have an interest
in offering internships. If you or your firm or organization is interested in offering an
internship to a High School Senior, please contact Board of Education Trustee Mike
Beneventano at mbeneventano@hicksvillepublicschools.org
Thanks so much for posting this! I grew up in Levittown, just across the town line from
Hicksville, where my Dad was a school music teacher for 30 years (Burns Ave. and also
Dutch Lane and WoodlandBill Burakoff
So I am getting on a crowded train this morning and as I went to sit
down, a young woman moves to the center seat and tells me her husband, who is four
people behind me, is sitting there. I say I don't think so, you cannot save seats. Husband
calls me b word and tells me to get a life. She decides she can't even sit next to me and
gets up. Middle seat empty. - more room for me. I had to be 30 years older than this man,
do you think he should have given me the seat? I'm not being sexist, I've gotten up for
both older men and womenLynne Lombardi 1971
This happens so many times on a subway train and metropolitan bus. I find the really
young adults do not give their seat for older adults. People not much younger than sixty
are the ones that stand up and offer up their seat for a person with a cane or older than
they are...SADScherich Cates Rhonda
I was once on the subway and a young boy about 10 years old offered me his seat. He
was with his grandmother and she motioned to me to say yes. She said that so many
people say no thank that she sometimes asks people to say yes because she wanted him to
learn it was a good thing and if people kept saying no, he'd stop asking. It was so nice to
see someone trying to teach a child manners in this day and ageLynne
They should have graciously offered you a seat. I think this is another example of how
our society has lost certain, kind values. My father would always offer a seat to any
woman standing. If she said, "No thank you, I've been sitting in the car for hours," he still
would not sit down. He was uncomfortable sitting if a woman was standing. And this
went on into his 90s. (He lived to be 92)Jean Haughey

The Martin Owners Club is the official owners and players Club and operated by C.F.
Martin & Co., Inc. Members and enthusiasts enjoy the musical expression of guitar and
desire to be affiliated with the Martin brand. A question posed by C.F. Martin, How old
were you when you got your first guitar?
I was a bit older but one year at Scout camp, Bob Martin
brought his guitar (he was just learning) to Wauwepex. I got hold of it and armed with the
chords to House of the Rising Sun, I played it incessantly! By the time our 2 week
campout was complete, I was hooked and never looked back. I'm thinking this was about
1968 or 69! That Christmas, after asking Santa, I got a used , Gretsch Tennessean in red
just like George Harrison and the rest is history!...Peter Lamia 1972 (shown

Since I knew Fran Decabia, I read his bio and
then started looking through the list of folks who submitted bio's. I thought I gave you,
or whomever was running this section of the newsletter, my bio a long time ago, but can't
find it anywhere. Do you recall it? If not, I'll submit it.
Also, got a real kick out of all the comments on your "breadless sandwich". Given what
you build it with and all that cheese, you're very lucky if constipation hasn't set in. Given
all your layers of meat and cheese, I would humbly recommend the ELF diet...Eat Less
Food...but, it certainly a lot less FUN!! All the bestJoe Carfora 1962

Most people don't know that back in 1912, Hellmann's mayonnaise was
manufactured in England.
In fact, the Titanic was carrying 12,000 jars of the condiment scheduled
for delivery in Vera Cruz, Mexico, which was to be the next port of call
for the great ship after its stop in New York.
This would have been the largest single shipment of mayonnaise ever
delivered to Mexico.
But as we know, the great ship did not make it to New York.
The ship hit an iceberg and sank, and the cargo was forever lost.
The people of Mexico, who were crazy about mayonnaise, and were eagerly
awaiting its delivery, were disconsolate at the loss. Their anguish was
so great, that they declared a National Day of Mourning, which they
still observe to this day.
The National Day of Mourning occurs each year on May 5th and is known,
of course, as Sinko de Mayo.
President Trump took a moment during his Florida rally to invite a very excited
supporter onto the stage and let him speak. Gene Huber, the man in question, is a West
Palm Beach native who apparently waited 13 hours in line to get in the hangar for
Trumps rally on Saturday. Trump said he saw Huber while watching TV coverage earlier
that morning. You can watch the moment via CNN.

I'm super proud of my son Ben, who stepped up this evening to stop a thief at Heidelberg
restaurant in NYC! Way to go, Ben!! Patti Hughes
Michael Mariani I'd love to hear more. Heidelberg is one of my favorite places? Was it at
the bar or in the restaurant?
Pattie Hughes One of my favorites, too. It was in the restaurant. Some fool walked it, and
grabbed the cash off a nearby table, then walked out. Ben went after him, it took a couple
of minutes till others understood what was going on. They got the money back and held
him till the police came. It was over within 15 minutes. And, being the great
restaurant/bar it is, Ben and I were given a shot on the house! lol!! Typical night in
Yorkville.

On November 18, 2016, Bette Harrison Germain and Mike Germain lost their son Chad.
I found out recently that a poignant story developed between Chad and a young boy who
lives in Florida.
Germain Chad Joseph., of Hicksville, L.I., on November 18, 2016. Beloved son of
Michael F. Germain and Elizabeth J. Germain. Dear brother of Scott Harrison
Germain & wife Patti and Michele Germain Vice & husband Jon. Cherished
lifelong friend of Daniel Patrick McCarthy. Devoted uncle of Nicole, Allison,
Michael, and Kathryn. Sergeant Chad Germain was a thirteen year veteran of the
Hempstead Police Department Patrol Division as well as a veteran of the United
States Marine Corps (Operation Desert Shield) while serving aboard the USS
Eisenhower. Sgt. Germain was a highly decorated police officer who received the
Meritorious Service Award. Chad was following in the footsteps of his father, Sgt.
Michael Germain, Old Westbury Police Department (retired).
Chad was loved and adored by many.
Chad shown here with sister Michelles children Katy &
Michael
Taken a week before Chad passed.
One of the many who loved Chad was an 11 yr old boy, Jack Fleming, from South
Florida with autism who is on a mission to say "thank you" to all law enforcement
officers. This inspirational young man has made it his mission to thank all law
enforcement officers for their sacrifice and service. Hes not letting autism hold him back
from bringing smiles and sharing random acts of kindness.
Jacks dad, John, was a NYPD officer who now serves with the Juno Beach Police. After
arriving in Florida, Jack decided to make a difference taking baked goods, gifts and cards
to police departments, grocery stores, and random Love Every Officer (LEO) locations
in the community.
My cards say, 'Dear Officer, you're a hero. I stand beside you and support you. Love Jack
Fleming and Be safe.'
Chad, a 1989 graduate of Jericho High School became good friends with a classmate,
Caryn Wasserman and the two maintained their friendship over the years.
The friendship that Chad had with Jack was a friendship nurtured because Caryn often
talked about Chad and his job with the Hempstead Police Department.
When Chad heard about Jack thanking police officers in Florida for their work, Chad
would text him and praise him. RememberJack is only 11 years old. Chad said, Caryn
is an amazing woman who is Jack's biggest advocate.

A note from BetteJack continues to help fill the hole in our hearts with his acts of
kindness and support of our First Responders and our Military. This is the epitome of his
tribute to Chad. Chad loved being a Marine and loved being a police officer with the
Hempstead PD. Thank you Jack! You continue to make him proud. The send off that
Chad received overwhelmed Mike and me. We have learned what an amazing friend he
was to so many and what an impact he had on all who knew him. Jack Fleming has
helped fill some of the hole in our hearts. #chadstrong
Ingredients
3 eggs
2 Tablespoons Medium Tostitos Salsa
2 Tablespoons Sour Cream
6-10 Leafs of Fresh Spinach (tear or cut into smaller pieces)
2-3 Strips of Cooked Bacon (tear or cut into smaller pieces)
2 Pieces of Smoked Ham (cut into smaller pieces)
2 Pieces of Smoked Turkey (cut into smaller pieces)
2 Pieces of Swiss Cheese (cut into smaller pieces)
Crack eggs into a Medium Size bowl, add some salt and pepper and whisk.
Dump all the remaining ingredients into the egg mixture and mix together.
It is now ready for the frying pan.
I use my new Red Copper pan that is incredible. Nothing sticks and when the mixture is cooked, you
dump onto a dish and the pan is totally empty when done. Cleanup is a breeze!!!
Should be enough for two unless you eat a really hearty breakfast!!!

Hello I went online and noticed that there is a 50th class
reunion scheduled for the class of 1967 but there isnt much other information provided.
There is a link to download a flyer about the planned reunion but I got an error message
when I tried to access it. Would you be able to provide some information about when the
reunion is planned to take place? I am considering whether to attend the reunion and
being able to plan for it is important. Thank youRichard D. Sutphen 1967
FYI: I am currently retired (since July, 2016) from the University of Kentucky where I
was a professor of social work for 23 years.
