The section of JLyon Place
extending from Merrick Road to
Ross Plaza was c^icially re-named
"Columbus Drive" by
Lynbrook Mayor Francis X
Becker — appropriately enough
on Monday, October 12th, Col-umbus
Day,
Mayor Becker pointed out that
a great number of Lynbrook's
residents are of Italian ancestry
and many have made tremendous
contributions to the community
over a great number of years.
He said, "We feel that the re-
> naming of this street \vill be a
token of our appreciation for their
loyalty to the village," He pointed
out also that no problem would
be created as far as a postal
address was concern since
there were no homes on that
particular section of Lyon Place.
The Mayor was asked if they had
been influenced by the fact that
two of the Trustees — Bill Buz-zeo
and Larry Florio — were of
Italian ancestry. "Come to think
of it," he quipped "I seem to
recall that our Village Clerk,
Joe Vitelli was at the meeting
when it was first discussed."
Asked why this particular
street had been chosen. Mayor
Becker replied that in addition
to creating no postal problems,
it was in the heart of town al-most
adjacent to the new Village
Hall which will be dedicated on
Thursday, October 29th.
Present for the dedication
were: Judge Mario Pittoni, As-semblyman
John Thorpe, Daniel
Carrano, Lynbrook PBA Presi-dent,
Henry Gavin, Grand Knight
of the Knights of Columbus and
many others.
Personalities
Annette Ling
Mrs. Doris Lowenborg is serv-ing
her second term in office as
Grand Regent of the Court of St.
Raymond of the Catholic Daugh-ters
of America.
Doris has a warm, vibrant
and dynamic personality and is
truly a handsome woman with
erect carriage, lovely thick
blonde hair and blue eyes and
sunny smile. She is one lady
who thoroughly enjoys her role
in life as wife and mother and
homemaker par excellence. Some
of the aims of thfe NationalWom-ens'
Liberation Movement make
her chuckle, especially since
serving up a good and satisfying
meal to her beloved family seems
so much more satisfying than
competing with males, driving
a truck or being anything but a
true female.
Doris and her husband, Ozzie,
who is a Physical Trainer have
three fine children. Her beauti-ful
blonde eldest daughter. Tana,
agie 15 attends Sacred Heart
Academy in Hempstead., Tana
put in a total of over 100 hours
of volunteer work as a Candy
Striper at Mercy Hospital this
past Summer. She is talented
and resembles her mother a great
deal. Victor, her eldest, is 18
and a student at Long Island
Agricultural Institute in Farm-ingdale
majoring in Liberal Arts.
Victor is a great fishing fan.
Daughter, Kim is 7 years old
smd a student at Our Lady of
Peace School.
The Lowenborgs love Lyn-brook,
U.S.A. and have lived
here many years, but each Sum-mer
they go to their favorite
spot in the White Mountains of
New Hampshire to a small rural
village called Ossippe on Lake
Duncan. Although they have been
going there for over fifteen years,
they still hear grumbles such
as the time Doris won at "Beano'*
which is what they call "Bingo"
in New Hampshire and a local
murmured, "Those dem for-
MRS. DORIS LOWENBORG
eigners, again," referring to
Doris and her family. New
Englanders take at least 50 years
or so to take to new comers in
certain parts, so Doris figures
she just has to be patient for tiie
next 35 or so.
The crowning highlights of her
life have been the great happiness
she felt at the birth of her three
children, with each one adding
to the joy of both she and her
husband.
The Lowenborgs have a pocket
size toy black poodle who owns
the family lock, stock and bar-rel
and is called Cuddles. Cud-dles
was bought on the way to
get a Chinese Dinner when the
entire family fell in love with
her on sight and postponed buy-ing
a needed appliance and went
home minus the Chinese Dinner,
but blissfully happy with the small
bundle of love and affection. Cud-dles
is one of the most affection-ate
little dogs to be found in Lyn-brook
and the absence of any
member of the family and their
return is greeted with such leaps
of delight, each returned member
feels that they have come home
from as far away as remote
Africa.-

Robert Pryer^ Volunteer Fire-man
fcom East Rockaway died
at 6 PM Saturday in South Nas-sau
Community Hospital, Ocean-side
as a result of injuries suf-fered
in a fall from the fire truck,
traveling to the scene of a car
fire.
Nassau County Police said that
Pryer apparently lost his grip
while the truck was responding to
an abandoned car fire call at
1:19 AM on East Boulevard and
Cook Street in Bay Park. Police
said that he was found about 1:30
AM at the comer of Sachem St.
and Carmen Avenue, about 20
blocks from the scene of the fire,
A spokesman for the fire com-pany
gave the following account of
the incident, Pryer was sitting
next to the driver when the truck
was getting ready to leave the
firehouse. When Captain Donza
arrived, Pryer moved to the back
of the truck. When the fire truck
arrived at the scene of the call,
the Main Street Co. already had
tlie tire under control, and the
Liberty Hose Co, prepared to r e -
turn to the firehouse. It was then
Captain Donza noticed that Pryer
was missing,
Donza and another fireman r e -
traced the route of the fire en-gine
and found the injured fireman
lying on the right side of Carmen
Avenue, An ambulance was called
and Pryer was removed to the
hospital.
The death of the fireman in the
line of duty, was the first in the
75 year history of the East Rock-away
Fire Department, Pryer
was a volunteer for five years,
"He was a tremendous helpful
fireman," Capt, Donza said.
"Volunteer fire Departments de-pend
on people. Just like any other
volunteer organization there are
a few people who carry it, Pryer
was one of those people in our
organization."
Robert Pryer is survived by his
wife Sandra. He will be buried
with a captain's rank conferred
posthumously by the department.
