Personalities
ijij^ by Annette Ling i::?
Mrs. Barbara Catherine
Hannan, Grand Regent of the
Court of St. Raymond of the
Catholic Daughters of America
was born on Feb. 14, 1942 in the
North Eastern section of Bronx to
Francis and Irene Hertel who are
still living in their old home
there. Barbara has a brother,
Richard, a resident of Glaston-bury,
Conn., another brother,
Peter, a resident of the Bronx and
one sister, a nun of the Blauveld
Dominican Sisters, Sister Anne
Hertel.
Barbara graduated from St.
Mary's Parochial School and
Saint Barnabas High School and
went out into the business world.
She was an Executive Secretary
with Bigelow-Sanford Carpet
Company for a number of years.
She was active in volunteer
C.Y.O. work when she was single.
She was married in 1964 in her
old church, St. Mary's in the
Bronx to Mr. Lawrence Haiinon
and the couple first settled in Far
Rockaway for three years. They
moved to Monroe St. with the
growth of their little family in
1%7 arid have been residents of
Lynbrook ever since.
They have young Michael, age
4, Jennifer, age 6, a First Grade
student at Our Lady of Peace and
baby Craig, age 16 months and
are expecting a new addition to
their family sometime next April.
Her husband works for the New
York Telephone Company and of
course, he is one of the employees'
out on strike.
Her hobbies are sewing,
cooking and rWding and her
husband likes her Italian cookery
vey much.
This writer has seldom seen or
talked to a more happy or
devoted wife and mother. Her
happiness is a quiet, but deeply
personal thing that shows when
she talks about her husband or
her children. She feels that the
most memorable experience in
her life has been her marriage to
her wonderful husband, Larry.
She cited his qualities of kind-ness,
honesty and most im-portant,
his tremendous love for
his family as some of the factors
which make him such a won-derful
husband. This is her very
own description of him. She
regards her children as the
greatest joy in her life and each
precious hour spent with them as
something to be treasured
forever. How right she is as the
years do go by so very swiftly and
all of a sudden, the little ones are
no longer small, but adults and
she is a very wise lady to ap-preciate
that fact right now when
they are so young. Obviously,
Barbara has found her own
personal fulfillment as a happy
wife and mother and loves every
minute of it. She feels that each
4ay carries memorable ex-periences
for every mother with
normal children, feels that
women's Lib is for women who
feel that they have to be
liberated. All women should be
treated fairly on the job market,
but they lose their femininity
when they go overboard and start
competing with men in every
field.
She enjoys Summer,
vacationing in the mountains
when the family can get away
and beach days, and bar-b-ques
and outdoor roasts with good
friends and even picnics as
marvelous treats during this
golden time of year which is her
favorite season. She likes blue
and her home is furnished in
contemporary style and is neat,
beautiful and functional.
Barbara likes the great change
in the Catholic Church and feels
that it enables more of the
congregation to actually take
part in the Mass instead of one
person reading a Missal, another
saying the Rosary and another
doing no participating at all. She
feels that it brings her closer to
God and her deep and abiding
faith is one of the most striliing
things one notices about her
within the first few minutes of
talking to her.
She is one of the youngest
Grand Regents we have ever met
and is undeniably going to be a
great one, as well. Catholic
Daughters of America, Court of
St. Raymond #673 located in
Lynbrook actually encompasses
Malverne and East Rockaway as
well and is one of the 21 courts in
Nassau County. Court of St.
Raymond celebrated it's 50th
Anniversary last year with a
Communion Supper honoring the
Charter members still living. The
Court spends much of its time
raising funds in various ways for
different charities and projects.
Each year, High School Awards
are given to the child of a C.D.A.
member attending either a
parochial school or public high
school. This year, they donated a
Scholarship for a Teacher of
Exceptional Children. They have
a Vestment Committee which
makes beautiful garments for the
purchase of vestment or priestly
apparel to be given to a
designated priest in memory of a
deceased person, and loved one.
Each time they are worn, the
deceased person is remembered
in prayer by the priest who uses
them.
Barbara's membership in the
Catholic Daughters has meant a
great deal to her as she is a very
devout lady and believes that in
her organization there is no
generation gap and each person
accepts the other for their basic,
"good point." and are able to
work together in the cause of
