Rocks of All Ages Celebrate Homecoming
First came the weather. A
mild fall Saturday with
plenty of sun suggested that
good things were going to
happen as the Rocks o f All
Ages gathered on October
15 for Homecoming 1988.
Next came the game. A
healthy crowd began to
form at 1:30 p.m. at Her-manson
Field at East Rock-away
High School to watch
the current Rocks put Jeri-cho
High School's football
team between themselves
and the proverbial hard
place with the result a 12-6
victory for the Rocks.
The Rocks scored on a 23-
yard pass from Ed Wooding
to Adam Olic and a four-yard
run by Dan Vito who
added 138 yards to his sea-son's
total. Vita also added
13 tackles, a fumble recov-ery,
and an interception on
defense. Safety Kevin Kelly
had two interceptions and
nine tackles as East Rocka-way
forced six turnovers,
four interceptions, and two
fumbles on their way to their
third win against one loss.
Three cheering squads
and a marching band added
spirit to the Rocks and their
fans. Many donations were
made to the Louis Cosenza
Memorial Fund by those in
attendance.
Then came the party. At 5
p.m. the scene shifted to the
Main Street Firehouse and
the East Rockaway High
School Alumni Associa-tion's
Third Annual Home-coming
Celebration. Well
over a hundred "Rock of All
Ages" came to see old
friends and to party as per-haps
only Rocks know how
to do.
In their brief formal
ceremonies. Alumni Associ-ation
President John Bren-nan
announced that the
winner of the 1988 "Alum-nus
of the Year" award,
given for outstanding servi-ces
to the Association, was
Paula Marinaccio DePietro,
Class of 1970.
DePietro, who has served
as Corresponding Secretary
since the Association was
formed in June 1986, was
cited as the Association's
"Tiger in the Tank" for her
high energy level and
dedication.
Later in the evening, after
the Rocks had wined and
dined and danced and remi-nisced,
Association Presi-dent
Brennan returned to
the microphone to an-nounce
the winners of the
raffle: Ann Key Boll won the
Basket of Cheer, while her
husband Harold won a Mys-tery
Bag; Roy Heini won a
$50 Gift Certificate at the
Ex-Clamation Point, while
his wife, Heidi Keil Heinz,
won a Mystery Bag.

Congressman Norman F.
Lent (Republican/Conser-vative
- 4th CD) has received
the enthusiastic endorse-ment
of Vice President
George Bush in his bid for
his tenth consecutive term in
the United States House of
Represenatives.
"Norm Lent has been a
fighter for Long Island in
Washington," Vice Presi-dent
Bush stated in making
his endorsement in the
Nation's Capital. "Whether
it's getting the Long Island
Rail Road back to work or
writing tough environmen-tal
legislation to clean up
toxic waste sites and stop
ocean dumping. Norm Lent
has been there for his neigh-bors
on Long Island."
Vice President Bush cited
Congressman Lent's leader-ship
abilities as Vice Chair-man
of the powerful House
Energy and Commerce
Committee and as the senior
Republican member of the
Merchant Marine and
Fisheries sub-committee.
"Norm Lent's integrity, ded-ication
to his constituents
and his outstanding legisla-tive
accomplishments have
earned him the admiration
of his colleagues in Congress
and gratitude of a nation,"
the Vice President con-tinued.
"it is with a deep
sense of personal pride that 1
express my unequivocal
endoresement of a man 1 am
proud to call my friend. 1
urge all residents of the
Fourth Congressional Dis-trict
to return Norm Lent to
Congress on November
8th."
An eighteen year veterans
of the House of Representa-tives,
Congressman Lent has
been the motivating force
behind landmark environ-mental
legislation, such as
Superfund, which cleans up
toxic waste dumps, the
Resource Recovery Act
(RCRA), the Toxic sub-s
t a n c e s C o n t r o l Act
(TOSCA), and the Ocean
Dumping Ban Act of 1988.
In addition to his Commit-tee
assignments in the
House, Congressman Lent
serves as Chairman of both
the Northeast Gas Congres-sional
Caucas.
"l am extremely honored
to receive the endorsement
of the Vice President of the
United States," Congress-man
Lent stated. "I am
proud to have played a role
in enacting many of the eco-nomic
and national security
programs on the Reagan/-
Bush Administration which
have put our nation back on
a road of peace and
prosperity."
"Under the leadership of
President Reagan and Vice
President Bush, America is
enjoying the longest unin-terrupted
economic expan-sion
in modern history, with
inflation and unemploy-ment
at historic lows. I am
certain that this record of
achievement will continue
under the competent leader-ship
of a George Bush Pre-sidency,"
Lent concluded.
