Jay Francis Korth, Village At-torney
of the Incorporated Vil-lage
of Lynbrook is product of
Brooklyn, N.Y., where his be-loved
mother, Julia, still resides
in Flatbush. His mother and his
late father, Charles had two sons
and his other brother, Charles,
Jr. is a travel agent in Man-hattan.
Jay attended Brooklyn Public
Schools and graduated from Boys'
High School in a record 3 1/2
years. He attended St. John's
University until his college
studies were interrupted by
World War II. He served from
1942 until 1946 with the 7th Air
Force in the Central Pacific
Theatre of War and was stationed
at Hickam Field for two years
with a Signal Base Company.
He was commissioned a First
Lt. in the Advocate General's
Dept. of the Army. While in
Hawaii, he played a good game
as shortstpp for the Hickam All-
Star Players, a champion base-ball
team. This baseball outfit
managed to gain quite a good
status during the few off-duty
hours of the men in Hawaii.
Upon his return to civilian
life, he won a War Service Re-gent's
Scholarship in New York
State competitive examinations.
He received his Master's Degree
in Law from New York Univer-sity.
He met his beautiful, petite,
auburn-haired wife, the former
Grace Miller at St. John's Uni-versity
where she was majoring
in Education. Mrs. Korth did
teach for a while before her
marriage. The Korth's have three
handsome and talented children.
Lorraine, age 14, is a Fresh-man
at St, Agnes High School,
Donna Marie, age 8, is in the
3rd grade at Our Lady of Peace
School, and his son, Jay Thomas,
age 7 is a second grade student
at the same fineparochial school.
One outstanding thing about
Jay F, Korth is his deep pride
in and great love of his family.
Each accomplishment ofhischil-
. dren makes him so very happy
and thrilled that it is easy to
see that he would easily win
, anyone's nomination as Father of
the Year if theyknow the Korth's.
Jay believes that his wonderful
children are God's greatest
blessing to both he and his wife
and his pleasure in them is an
exceptional thing to see. The
Korth's live on Charles St, in
Lynbrook and have been Lyn-brook
residents for 17 years.
Jay was Trustee* of Lynbrook
Sept., 1958 until April, 1967, and
now he is serving Lynbrook once
more as Village Attorney, He has
been admitted to practice before
the U.S. Supreme Court. He loves
his profession and the way God
has blessed him and is one of the
few people who if they had to live
their life over again would like
it to be exactly the same. He
believes that a career in law is
both rewarding and fulfilling to a
high degree and one is called
upon to use one's best efforts
in this challenging profession
every day of one's life.
He still loves to play baseball
and a game of golf when he gets
Jay Francis Korth
the time. He enjoys semi-clas-sical
music and good food. He
particularly enjoys his wife's
cooking and her classical great
American Roast Turkey with her
own dressing is one of his
favorites. He feels that his suc-cess
in life are greatly due to
the love, understanding, and great
companionship of his own pretty
wife, Grace. He spent a good
fifteen minutes praising her
abilities as a home-maker, a good
cook and great personality. He
enjoys oil painting and did one
of an American Indian Chief that
was hung for exhibit in Mineola,
The highlights of his life are
the time when he was playing
with a championship baseball
team in high school, being ad-mitted
to the New York Bar to
practice law and passing the New
York Bar Exams on his first try.
His war-time experiences that
stand out in his memory are fly-ing
around the extinct volcano
peaks of Mauna Loa and Mauna
Kea in Hawaii and his friendships
with men in the service at the
time.
He is a compact 5 ft., 9 1/2
inc., 175 lbs. and seems to never
change very much except that the
Irish twinkle in his eyes get a
little bit deeper as the years go
by. He has larfe expressive blue
eyes, "Irish Eyes" like in the
song, and a great courtliness
and charm of manner, though he is
essentially a very quiet and re-served
gentleman.
He and his family have a great
interest in Americana, both in
places and history and they have
recently come back from a trip
to Williamsburg, Va. which has
been perfectly restored in the
authentic colonial manner start-ing
with 85 original old homes
and it now spreads out over one
mile and is certainly worth seeing
according to Jay's reports. He
liked it so much, he wants to go
back again to see it a bit more
thoroughly. Stamp collecting has
also been one of his hobbies for
many years and he specializes
in old American stamps with a
few rare foreign ones in his col-lection.
The Korth family always
takes a vacation that is geared
to American History and to a
greater knowledge of it.
Jay Francis Korth is a quiet
but extremely witty gentleman
with a fine sense of humor and
a keen mind that absorbs a great
deal. He makes a very loyal friend
and a person truly worthwhile in
anyone's circle,
