The Fk«eport Housing Authority' is announcing this week-that
Seymour Jarmul of Freeport has been retained as Supervisory Ar-diitect
to supervise the instruction and completion of th^-lM units
of Senior Housing being built on South »4ain Street It seems like
a routine annoimcement, but behind it is an infieresting story of
dedication and community interest.
The flrat in a series of events leading up to this relationship
took place in 1987, when Family Service Association requested use
of a large section of unimproved basement area in the Moxey Rigby
Apartment buildings owned by the Freeport Housing Authority,
for development into offices, interview rooms, community areas,
play and storage space, and other needed facilities. The Housing
Authority agreed, but stipulated that Family Service must provide
complete and adequate designs and architectural supervision. There
followed the first offcial contact of the Authority with Mr. Jarmul,
who created the new concept for F.S.A., miide the detailed draw­ings,
and saw the construction through to completion on October
4, 1968. As John Williams, Executive Director of the Housing Au­thority
said: "It was a fine relationship; we worked in perfect har­mony."
It was not until the project was completed and dedicated
that the Authority's board members learned that Mr. Jarmul had
contributed his time and abilities as a cost-free contribution to Family
Service and his community.
In the meantime work,was under way in the designing of 100
units of Senior Housing on South Main Street, the plans being
prepared by E. N. Turano, a N.Y.C. architect with distinguished
public housing design experience. Upon completion of the design
phase, with approval of H.U.D., arrangement was made with Mr.
Jarmul to assume the architectural contract to completion. This
arrapgement, which had the complete concurrence of all concerned,
would bring to this proiect close, on-the-spot, dedicated dir^:tion
of the construction.
The work is now well advanced. Any reader can drive drown
South Main to Raynor, and to Archer, and see the many buildings
taking form. The whole construction "team," architect and build­ers,
is making a determined effort to complete the first sixteen hous­ing
units far ahead of schedule, by late summer, so that some of
the seniors can start enjoying their new homes at the earliest pos­sible
time.
Architect Jarmul was bom in N.Y.C. He attended Columbia U.
(B-A. 1940), and M.LT. School of Architecture (B. Arch. 1968). In
WW. II, from 1941 to 1945, he served in the armed services, as a
Captain. 8th Air Force, and as a Navigator in B-lTa. In 1955 he be­came
a Freeport resident and now lives with his wife Lore, and his
three children, at 11 Virginia Avenue. Mrs. Jarmul, who has a B.A.
degree from Queens CoUege and a Masters degree in Economics
from Brown U., is an author ("A Parent's Guide to Summer Camjffi"
Harper & Row), and is currently Director of Publications for the
Office of Admissions Services of City University of New York.
Daughter Ruth, 21, agraduate of FHS in 1967, is now at Yale.
David, 17, is attending FH&gfnd Nancy, 13, is a student at Dodd

After Racial Unrest
Increasing discord between
blacks and whites caused Freeport
High School to end its day early
yesterday. Difficulties began when
black parents appeared at the
school seeking to meet with the
board in the high school. The
reason for the meeting was the
Wridmy scuffle at the school in
which both black and white
claimed mjuries. The group met
witii Joseph licAndrew, board
president, and two other board
members.
Following this meeting the
black pai^ents were met with
vocal hairassment from gathered
white students who attenqited to
rush a group of Ueck students
on the sdiool steps.^Police, about
40 strong, |ntei«:^ted the niiii
and persuaded white students to
return across the street.
After successfully separating
black and white students each
group left the sdiool separately
ouUng ttie sdiool day.
In a concerted effort to quell
thia unrest, the IVe^ort Board (tf
IkliiSitioh faai,«nounced that Ifr.
