Connecting With The Past

Larry Wolff recently found at a garage sale a 1978 edition of “Old Brooklyn in Early Photographs 1865 – 1929”

While browsing through the pages he noticed a familiar picture. One that was always on his grandmother’s dresser. After confirming that the photo in the book and the one on the dresser were the same he made some family inquires.

The snappy looking gentlemen in the photo turned out to be his Great-Grandfather, Peter Meehan, born 1859 and born in the County of Leithrim.

He was the driver of the last horse drawn delivery wagon in Brooklyn NY. Peter Meehan delivered residential packages for the “Namm Store” located at Fulton and Hoyt Streets.

The building itself, where this photo was taken, was the Brooklyn landmark “Alhambra Apartment House” located at Nostrand Ave between Macon and Halsey Street.

Renaming of Kings Highway in Hauppauge

Katherine Klahn
Deputy Public Information Officer
Islip Town

Please join me, Suffolk County Legislator John Kennedy and the Ryan family in remembering Sgt. Michael W. Ryan with the symbolic naming of Kings Highway in Hauppauge in his name.

A ceremony was held in front of the HYO Complex, Kings Highway, Hauppauge on Tuesday, September 1st .
Michael passed away from Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma because of his brave work at the World Trade Center in the weeks after 9/11. Before becoming sick, Michael enjoyed his work as a New York City Police Officer, and especially enjoyed his role as Vice President of Hauppauge Football at the HYO Complex, which is why the Town-owned streets in front of the complex will be symbolically dedicated to his memory.
Regards,
Phil Nolan
Supervisor, Islip Town

Town of Islip Photographer
Phone - 467-3300
To reach the complex, you get off at Long Island Expressway exit  56N (Rte 111 - Wheeler Rd).
Go North on 111 for approximately 1/4 mile to Kings Highway.
Make a left on to Kings Highway and go about 300 feet to the field on your right.

(This is near the same general area of the Hauppauge Court complex and motor vehicle.)

Definition of a Veteran
A veteran - whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve - is someone who, at one point in their life, wrote a blank check made payable to
"The United States of America", for an amount of "up to and including my life."

That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.

 Author Unknown

Only two defining forces
have ever offered to die for you;
Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.
One died for your soul;
the other for your freedom.

BLOCK PARTY

On Saturday July 9, 2005, Division 7 hosted a "Block Party" for the delegates of the New York State Convention.

Entertainment in the street was supplied by Jerry Finley,  along with Irish step dancing performed by dancers from the Hunt School of Dance. Additionally our own Roisin Dubh Pipe Band performed as well.

All the delegates were unanimous in that not only did they have a great time but were overwhelmed by the appearance of the statue of Our Lady of Knock.

Division 7 members who worked on providing the support for this occasion should be proud of their accomplishment.
