TEENAGE HERO: Sixteen-year-old Roy Vaccaro of Baldwin
receives much deserved recognition for "selfless and heroic action"
from Hempstead Town Presiding Supervisor Francis T. Purcell[left]
and Hempstead Town Councilman Leo F. McGinity. Roy was cited for
saving the life of 16-year-old Erin McGarry after the girl fainted and
fell into a backyard swimming pool. Roy dove to the bottom of the
pool, brought Erin to the surface and reveived her with artificial
respiration. "We recently began a campaign to make pec^le aware of
the safe use of home swimming pools in Hempstead Town," noted
Purcell, "but nothing we could ever do would come close to the
example set by this truly heroic young man."
