2009-12-25 It truly is "A Wonderful Life" - Just ask Donna and Geoff .  Hope you enjoy the Chellis version of "It's a Wonderful Life".  A special thank you to Geoff for sharing the video with us.  A few memorable quotes from the original "It's a Wonderful Life":
Clarence: Remember, George: no man is a failure who has friends. Zuzu Bailey: Look, Daddy. Teacher says, every time a bell rings an angel gets his wings.
George Bailey: That's right, that's right.
George Bailey: Attaboy, Clarence.
Clarence: Strange, isn't it? Each man's life touches so many other lives. When he isn't around he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he? Little Mary: Is this the ear you can't hear on?
[whispering in his bad ear]
Little Mary: George Bailey, I'll love you 'til the day I die.

 I retired a decade ago (!) from the Army and am now teaching at the National War College in Washington and helping my buddies in the White House and the Pentagon as time permits.  Anita says that National may be as close as I will get to heaven.  It is a great job.  I am still writing frequently, usually in Armed Forces Journal or blogging on national security on the National Journal website.

 God bless all who read this.

 Joe and Anita Collins"

A message from Nick (Susan and Tony’s son) - The Eagle Scout project I plan to do is to replace the church bell stand at the United Methodist Church in East Northport.  Currently the unstable wooden frame and base may cause the existing bell to fall, break, and possibly injury someone.  I plan to honor and preserve the bell’s historic character by constructing a new frame.  To help fund my project I am planning a car wash on April 25th (rain date April 26th), 9AM - 3PM,  at Pep Boys, 6350 Jericho Turnpike, Commack.  For additional details please click here to see my flyer.

2009-03-24 St. Baldrick’s Update - We did it!  Mikee, Brian, Geoff and I had our heads shaved!

As you know, we went bald to stand in solidarity with kids fighting cancer.  Even more important, though, we did it to raise money for life-saving research.

Last year, the St. Baldrick’s Foundation funded childhood cancer research in a big way – over $15 million in grants!  These funds went to pediatric cancer experts who are looking for cures today, as well as to young Fellows and Scholars who will be the experts of tomorrow.

If you are interested in supporting this most worth cause please see the 2009-02-20 Breaking News item below.

Hope you enjoy the photos of us fulfilling our St. Baldrick’s commitment.

    EXTREMELY URGENT NEWS

A member of our family is need of our assistance and prayers.  Please see below for more details concerning Bruce Wojno (Terri's (nee Nolan) husband).  If you are unable to attend the Benefit and want to help by making a donation, I am sure it would be very much appreciated.

Benefit for Bruce

Bruce Wojno, former Marlton resident for 20 years, and current resident of Shamong was diagnosed with Abdominal Mesothelioma in October 2008. Abdominal Mesothelioma is a rare asbestos cancer, with only 100-500 reported cases per year. Currently there is no cure for the disease and he has undergone surgeries and experimental medical treatment, which is not fully covered by insurance. Bruce is a father of 6 children and grandfather of 3, and another on the way.  He has always been active in the sports community, volunteering his time with the Cherokee 5th Quarter Club and coaching the Seneca youth football team for the past 5 years.

In an effort to defer Bruce's medical expenses we are holding a benefit:

When: Saturday, May 2, 2009

Where: Pic-a-Lilli Shamong, NJ 08088

Time: 2:00 - 6:00 pm

Tickets: $40.00 per person (include food, drinks & entertainment)

BREAKING NEWS

I am again having my head shaved in a fund raising effort for the St. Baldrick's Foundation for kids and their families with childhood cancer.  You heard it right - I'm shaving my head in solidarity with children who have cancer and typically lose their hair during treatment, while at the same time raising critical funds for childhood cancer research!  In the US, more children die of childhood cancer than any other disease.  It's getting very close to St. Baldrick's Day on Saturday, March 14th at Napper Tandy's Pub in Northport** and I haven't heard from many of you.  I would appreciate if you could do me a favor and make a donation in any amount to this worthwhile cause.  Please make a donation on my behalf to support childhood cancer research so that all children diagnosed with cancer will have a better chance for a cure.

To make a donation, please visit my St. Baldrick's web page and click on "Donate Online" or "Download a Donation Form" to send in by mail.  Or you can just make out a check to the "St. Baldrick's Foundation" and send directly to me at 2 Loret Lane, East Northport, NY 11731-1612.  Make sure you write "Shavee ID: S-330596" in the memo section of your check.  Thank you in advance for your support!

2008-10-08 Our Hawaiian/California Vacation - September 24 to October 8, 2008 - Thea and I celebrated our 35th Wedding Anniversary, Thea's 55th Birthday and her well deserved retirement with a wonderful trip to California and Hawaii.  It was our third attempt at such a trip and I think we both agree, it was well worth the wait!  We took many photos to help us remember this wonderful experience.  (See Photo Gallery for photo links)

Received the following message from a proud Mom and hope you enjoy the video - "You’ll love the link I’m sending along to you.   Jon was on a half hour NESN (new England sports network) show on spear fishing.   Of course he caught the only keeper.  After the show they took the fish to a local gourmet Narragansett restaurant and cooked and served the film crew and participants.   Please share this with Uncle Tom and Aunt Lydia, Thea and Mike, Joe and Diane – don’t know if Aunt Lucy and Uncle Mike do e-mail, but hoping you have a group e-mail set up for them.  Love to all, Your favorite cousin in Rhode Island, Pam"  Enjoy the video!

On July 13, 2008 the Norton Family and several dear friends gathered in Northport Park for the dedication of our beloved Dad's Park Bench.  A very special thank you to Bro. Fran for helping make a special day even more special with his kind words and blessing. (see photos)

God Bless the USA

The Gratitude Campaign

Have you ever seen one of our military walking past you and wanted to convey to them your thanks, but weren't sure how or it felt awkward?  Recently, a gentleman from Seattle created a gesture which could be used and has started a massive movement to get the word out.  Please take just a moment to watch.... The Gratitude Campaign and then tell your friends!

You can send a message to the troops that will be printed out on a post card and given to somebody stationed in Iraq or Afghanistan.  You can be sure they would much rather be home for the holidays.  But since they can't, take a minute to let them know we haven't forgotten about them and we appreciate all they are doing for us.

Click on the link below and thank the brave men and women who are serving our great Country!

In God We Still Trust

In March, 2005, this song was performed at a Diamond Rio concert.  They received an immediate standing ovation, and continue to do so every time they perform it!  Sadly, major radio stations wouldn't play it because it was considered politically incorrect.  Consequently, the song was never released to the public.  If this song speaks to your heart and you want to share it with friends and loved ones, please do.  Then let us cease being the silent majority and join together - not as a particular political party, but as Proud Americans!      Diamond Rio - In God We Still Trust
