PLAINVIEW RESIDENT Arthur Frank [L], of the
Grumman Aerospace Corporation, receives congratula­tions
from Dr. Renso Caporali, Grumman's vice president
- development. Arthur and fellow employee Allan Nathan
[C], were recently awarded certificates of appreciation
by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration
[NASA] in recognition of their work toward the develop­ment
and design of a Manned Remote Work Station
[MRWS].
Arthur and Allan conceived a manned remote work
station that would enable astronauts to perform construc­tion,
servicing and maintenance functions in space. Their
idea evolved from the "cherry'picker" concept employed
by many utilities to service power lines and by fire com­panies
to combat high rise apartment fires.
The MRWS will be a pressurized cabin about 10 feet high
by seven feet in diameter and will operate in cherry-picker
fashion. It will enable astronauts to perform con­struction
tasks from within a protected environment.
Grumman space engineers have blueprints for other
futuristic projects made possible by the MRWS. Having
solved some of the problems of building in space, the pos­sibilities
of Utilizing new fabrication techniques seems
limitless. Incredibly, many of them will be feasible by the
late 80's and early 90's.
John W. Raber, Chairman of the Board of The Green
Point Savings Bank, announced the promot­ion
of Alexander Monaco to Assistant Mortgage Loan
Officer.
A graduate of St. John's University, Mr. Monaco joined
"The Green Point" in 1977 as a management trainee
assigned to the Comptrollers Department. Within a few
months he was transferred to the Appraisal Section of the
Mortgage Department, and shortly thereafter advanced
to the position of Appraiser. In 1978, Mr. Monaco was pro­moted
to Senior Appraiser, in which capacity he served
until his recent advancement to Assistant Mortgage Loan
Officer.
i^ Mr. Monaco resides in North Massapequa. j

Woman Assaulted &
Robbed; Thief At Large
A young Bethpage resident was robbed as she
parked and locked her car in front of her home on
the night of January 15th.
The victim was driving along Hicksville Road
toward Boundary Avenue when she noted that
she was being followed. She drove through the
streets trying to lose the car and as she
approached her home on Lillian Lane she no
longer believed she was being followed and
parked in her driveway. She was approached by
a man who grabbed her pocketbook from her, hit
her over the head and took off. The purse
contained a wallet with her license, $17 in cash
and a paycheck.
The complete description of the man is a black
male, 5 ft. 10 inches tall in his mid 20's with a
slim build and a short afro haircut. He wore a
dark jacket and slacks.
The victim did not suffer any serious injury
and the case is being handled by Det. Hall of the
8th squad.
