O’Connor] Date [June 26, 2015] Completed: Spinzia, Raymond E. and Judith A. Long Island Image Collection, c.1900s-1996. Facsimiles, c.1862-1960s. 1.8 cubic ft. Judith A. and Raymond E. Spinzia are former Long Island residents, currently living in Pennsylvania. They were raised in Huntington and Garden City, N.Y., respectively. They have one daughter, Kathryn Raynes. While living on Long Island, Raymond was a high school history teacher and later a school librarian; Judith was a biology teacher and the historian of St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in Islip, N.Y. Among other things, the couple also lectured on Long Island history, served as history consultants for a local cable television channel, were consultants for a Japanese television network for a documentary on Louis Comfort Tiffany, and contributed materials to the Arts and Entertainment Network’s Biography series for its presentations on the Vanderbilt and Tiffany families. They were also featured in newspaper articles and on local radio and television programs. In addition, they authored Long Island: A Guide to New York’s Suffolk and Nassau Counties, as well five books concerning Long Island’s prominent families and their country homes and estates. The collection contains slides, photographs and negatives that span the years 1987-1996. The majority of these images, which were taken by the Spinzias while they were doing research for their abovementioned comprehensive guide to Long Island, depict many of Long Island’s cultural and historical sites, as well as many other places of interest on the Island. A number of these images were used by the Spinzias as part of presentations that they made to various groups. The collection also contains facsimile photographs and slides that span from c.1862-1960s. Included are images that depict many of the interesting places on Long Island, as well as others that document subjects such as aviation history, hurricanes, United States and Long Island maritime and naval history, the Vanderbilt Cup Races, and the life of architect Stanford White. Also included are images of a number of notable Long Island historical figures. (Note: Not all of the facsimile images are of Long Island, but, in the majority of instances, they are related to Long Island history in some way.) These materials were also used in presentations given by the Spinzias. Also included in the collection are slides and photographs that document St. Mark’s Episcopal Church before, during and after the fire that ravaged the main church building in December of 1989. The church, the construction of which was financed by William K. Vanderbilt, contained a number of stained glass windows that were created by Louis Comfort Tiffany himself. The slides that the Spinzias took of them while researching a book on the church were invaluable to the restoration experts who worked on the fire damaged windows. In addition, the collection contains Long Island postcards that span from the 1900s-c.1980s, and which cover a variety of topics and subjects, including beaches, communities, historic houses and sites, lighthouses, monuments and statues, and windmills. Also included are a small number of New York City postcards. Of particular interest in the collection are slides of the Tiffany stained glass windows that can be found in churches across Long Island. (This was a favorite topic of research for the Spinzias.) Processor’s Note: The facsimile images referred to above are taken mainly from a variety of print sources, many of which are unidentified. We do not hold the original images in our collection. Sources: Delatiner, Barbara. “More Tiffany Treasures Found on L.I.” The New York Times 24 Feb. 1991: 11. New York Times. ProQuest.

THESIS Presented to the Graduate Council of the North Texas State University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of MASTER OF ARTS By James E. Geels, B. A. Denton, Texas August, 1975 Geels, James E., The German-American Bund: Fifth Column or Deutschtum? Master of Arts (History), August, 1975, 183 pp., bibliography, 140 titles. Although the German-American Bund received extensive press coverage during its existence and monographs of American politics in the 1930's refer to the Bund's activities, there has been no thorough examination of the charge that the Bund was a fifth column organization responsible to German authorities. This six-chapter study traces the Bund's history with an emphasis on determining the motivation of Bundists and the nature of the relationship between the Bund and the Third Reich. The conclusions are twofold. First, the Third Reich repeatedly discouraged the Bundists and attempted to dissociate itself from the Bund. Second, the Bund's commitment to Deutschtum through its endeavors to assist the German nation and the Third Reich contributed to American hatred of National Socialism.

  • STUDY GUIDE the Little Prince
    Jr. The Little Prince By Rick Cummings and John Scoullar Based on the book STUDY by Antoine de Saint-Exupery GUIDE Synopsis During their two weeks together in the desert, the mysterious and regal Little Prince tells a world-weary Aviator about his adventures through the galaxy, including how he met the Lamplighter, the Businessman, and the Geographer; and about his strained relationship with a very special flower on his own tiny planet. From each experience the Little Prince gained a unique insight, which he in turn shares with the Aviator: “It is only with the heart that one can see rightly. What is essential is invisible to the eye.” Ultimately, the Little Prince and the Avia- tor return home—each with a new understanding of how to laugh, cry, and love again. Children and Grown-ups Discussion: The Little prince says that the aviator at first “talks just like the grown-ups.” What are the differences between grown-ups and children? Why might the aviator miss be- ing a boy? Other Worlds Objective: Students use imagination to create other worlds. Discussion: The Little Prince has come from another planet. What do you think his planet is like? If you could create a planet, how would people there live? What would they eat? How is it different from Earth? What would they travel in? How long would it take to get here? Activity: Have students think of a name for their planet. Have them explain why they gave it that name. Using paper mache and paints, have students make a model of their planet or make a model of the spaceship they would use to travel to Earth.

  • Glen Cove, NY
    Glen Cove, N.Y.: An Old Gem Poised for a Comeback Slide Show | Living in ... Glen Cove, N.Y. Where the wealthy once summered on the North Shore of Long Island, development is again booming. September 27, 2017 Living In By MARCELLE SUSSMAN FISCHLER For 43 years, Lorraine Wendt, 79, loved her five-bedroom house on more than two acres in Lloyd Neck, N.Y. But as a widow, she wanted to downsize, though she couldn’t decide whether she preferred to be on the water or in a town. In Glen Cove, a seven-square-mile, ethnically and economically diverse city on the North Shore of Nassau County, she found both. “It’s city, but country, and it’s on the water,” said Ms. Wendt, who plays golf with a friend at the municipal Glen Cove Golf Club . “This is the most perfect, idyllic situation I could be in.” In July, she put a deposit on a $700,000 one-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath unit with views of Glen Cove Creek and Hempstead Harbor at the 167-unit Beacon, a condo complex under construction at Garvies Point . Twenty-two units have been sold, said Joseph V. Graziose, 55, a lifelong resident of Glen Cove and senior vice president at RXR Realty, the developer. A mixed-use development on a cleaned-up Superfund site, where infrastructure and foundation work is underway, Garvies Point will have 569 condominiums, 541 rental apartments, a 1.1-mile waterfront esplanade, an amphitheater, three marinas, shops, a restaurant and cafe with outdoor dining, a dog park and more than 27 acres of open space and public parks.
