Sons June 03 Issue ISSUE NO. 28 JUNE 03 published by Joe Renna for the Sons of Peterstown Sports Club IT’S TIME TO GET BACK TO BASICS t's ironic how the same technology that has made the world small has also caused Icommunities to disseminate. The necessity to cluster in urban centers is less crucial to survival. Value systems were once rooted in physical, spiritual and emotional interaction. To achieve the same level of community life has now become a challenge. At one time, the family was at the base of the community, but that is no longer true in fact, even the meaning of the word "family” has changed. Today the word “family” refers to parents and their children. Anyone outside that core group is strictly an arms-length relationship. Up to the 1960's, families were extended past the range of second cousins, once removed. What was more remarkable than the family's social bonds was their geographical relationship. Generations were born and raised within city blocks of each other. In most cases, the units of a multiple dwelling were all occupied by the same family. The next tier of the community consisted of relationships between neighbors. Friendships were so tight that they would blend together with family ties. The trust and love between neighbors was just as strong as family. Marriage between different families within the community strengthened ties even deeper. This was the way it was for many neighborhoods, especially the immigrant communities that huddled together out of necessity, before they assimilated or were even given the opportunity to assimilate. Life centered around the family, the Passport photo of Sal Angelo's grandmother Caterina church and work. These aspects of living were so paramount that (Coniglio) Ciaccio, age 39.

When the baby boomers hit the scene, all heck broke loose. subject is inside on page 10. America had another revolution. This time it was social. New freedoms of expression and mobility upset the status quo. There were new ways of living. It was a time to tune out, turn off and drop out. The effect on the communities was shattering, like dropping a bowl of M&Ms on the floor. The core of the communities scattered. In the new order of things, the role that family played was diminished. Today the "me" generation looks out for number one. There is no time left to think of others. Life is defined by personal satisfaction. Peterstown stuck to the traditions that brought it along into the new millennium. Many families have stayed within the geographic boundaries of the neighborhood. Those who didn't are faced with a task of preserving the value structure that was inherent with living there. That would mean leaving the cul-de-sac and making an effort to reach out to the community at large. Getting back to sharing and experiencing life together and helping others. Some people yearn for things to be the way they remember they once were. But they speak as if it is impossible. The reality is that it is possible. There are enough people with the values that made the old neighborhoods so wonderful. The biggest hurdle is to understand the concept that thinking of the welfare of others first, results in the fulfillment of oneself. Mother Teresa said "Do not wait for leaders; do it alone, person to person." By starting with the elders and working on down, it is possible to touch every life in a positive way. But first someone has to get on their knees and pick up all those M&Ms. On May 30, 2003, Carmella Fortunato celebrated her 102nd birthday. On hand to share in the celebration were neighborhood friends from Peterstown, along with her children, her children’s children and their children. Pictured with Carmella is her great granddaughter, Tiana. LETTER POLICY Around About Peterstown welcomes Letters to the Editor at our postal, fax or e-mail addresses.

ON TO GUADALCANAL ISLAND Friday August 7 1942 Today will be a long remembered day. Today the Allies are going to make the first offensive landing of World War 11. I believe that we are all proud to be part of that move. The convoy is now entering the channel between Tulagi and Guadalcanal Islands. Our Cruisers are shelling the shore establishments. Every now and then a blast goes up from the beach, followed by black smoke. Another oil dump has gone up. The Marines are ready and set to go, and the beach guard is standing by. We are all watching the shelling, bombing and planes strafing the beach. There has been very little return fire and little damage done to us. Can it be possible that we are going to walk into this invaluable base without much work? Zero hour is now close by. Much activity now on deck. All boats being rigged out. Now they hit the water. As soon as they let go their lines they come along side the nets. The Marines are pouring down the nets into the boats. Equipment follows them down. The first wave stands off to the assembly area. Now the second wave is loading. Soon they too are off to their assembly area.

  • Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} the Lady Gangster a Sailor's Memoir by Del Staecker the Lady Gangster, a Sailor's Memoir by Del Staecker
    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} The Lady Gangster A Sailor's Memoir by Del Staecker The Lady Gangster, a Sailor's Memoir by Del Staecker. The Lady Gangster is a quick and fascinating read. Del Staecker does an excellent job framing the story of his father's service aboard an armed transport ship during the Second World War. Officially named the USS Fuller, the ship is better known by her apt nickname, Lady Gangster , a name christened by her crew, made up almost entirely of fellow Chicagoans. In addition to being an accounting of his father's service, Lady Gangster is also a heartwarming story of a rapprochement between father and son. A long road trip and a broken radio result in hours of conversation and an outpouring of memories. For the first time, the young son listens to his father's vivid and detailed recounting of his harrowing experiences serving with the Navy in the Pacific Theater. Through his writing, Staecker transports the reader from inside that car where he listens intently to his father's story, to the various locations were his father served. Staecker intersperses his father's reminiscences with just the right amount of family background, comments, clarifications and explanations of wartime history to keep the reader up-to-speed with the historical setting and maritime terminology. The book is well written and includes useful maps, which help orient the reader to the action and keep up with the unbelievably savage fighting and island-hopping through places with names like Guadalcanal, Tinian, "the Slot," Saipan, and Okinawa.

  • The Starfleet Registry
    THE STARFLEET REGISTRY RESEARCHED AND COMPILED BY JOHN W. BULLERWELL Introduction What you hold is perhaps the most comprehensive listing of the NCC- and NX- Federation Starfleet registration numbers ever created. Unfortunately, as comprehensive as it is, it is also confusing, error filled and riddled with mysteries. These numbers are from the entirety of fandom and canon. If you’re looking for a work of completely canon numbers and nothing else, this is not the document for you. Because the majority of these numbers come from fandom, there are a lot of discrepancies, and a lot of replication. There are numerous considerations I needed to make in compiling the list. For instance, I worked under the assumption that a ship with a lettered suffix (for example NCC-1234-C) is carrying a registry ‘tradition’, like the Enterprise. Therefore, if fandom listed a NCC-XXX-A U.S.S. No Name, I assumed the was a NCC-XXX (no suffix) No Name as well. While this is indeed very unlikely, I included them for the sake of completeness, as the original originator likely intended. Also, spellings in this document are intentional. If a ships name was Merrimac, I did not change it to Merrimack, or vice-versa. Again, it is assumed that the originator of the ship’s name/number intended their spelling to be correct. Some vessels had the same names and numbers, but were listed under two different class names. An example of this would be the Orka-class and the Clarke-class. Both classes had the same ships and numbers.
