At the Glen Cove School Board meeting of Nov. 21, School Superintendent Dr. Larry Aronstein announced that Glen Cove will be host to County Executive Thomas R. Suozzi's inauguration for his second term of office. The ceremony is slated to take place at the Wunsch Auditorium. Dr. Aronstein said that he was pleased to receive a call from Mr. Suozzi the day after the election with the request. While the Wunsch is in a state of some disrepair, Dr. Aronstein said the district will be sure to have it looking as good as possible for the event. Dr. Aronstein said the inauguration promises to be quite exciting, with local celebrities and well-known politicians, performers and others in attendance. FULL STORY

As it is with any commemoration involving veterans, a large crowd of men and women, in and out of uniform, came to the post office to be part of the celebration. Also on hand were postal officials and city officials, as well as Barbara Ann Ransweiler-Hartcourt, great-great niece of Sgt. Major Daly, and her son T.J., the great-great-great nephew of the Marine. Mina DeGuzman, supervisor of customer service at the Glen Cove Post Office, introduced the keynote speakers for the day. First up was Thomas F. Rosati, who remarked that a large percentage of postal workers come from a military background. He praised our fighting troops, calling them a beacon of hope and adding, "I applaud all Marines as well as members of every section of the US Armed Services." FULL STORY
