Nathan's
OHS
CLASS OF 1960
(and
www.1960sailors.net)
IMMORTALIZED AT
NATHAN'S
IN OCEANSIDE
On
a beautiful day in our home town, Saturday, June 28th, 2003, at its annual arts and crafts fair held on the grounds of the former School No. 1, the
Oceanside
Chamber of Commerce kicked off a new program to name a local
business of the month and declaring June to be "
month in Oceanside." In the brief ceremony held
shortly after noon, on
behalf of the Class of 1960, I presented* to
, a beautifully framed, specially
adapted, print version (illustrated below) of our own
web page entitled
"A Tribute to and Brief History of
in Oceanside, New York."
On
Tuesday, July 1, 2003,
corporate Director of Operations, Bruce Miller, accepted the
tribute award on
behalf of corporate management. It is now hanging permanently in
the newly renovated
in our little town, thus immortalizing our
class. The item
is inscribed as illustrated at the right.
So,
the next time
you visit Oceanside, look for this item hanging in
,
and naming our class as its source. 
And don't forget to tell me if your e-dress changes
― PLEASE!
