PER CQPY Lynbrook PBA Entl&rses Gragan and Lanning For Trustee Stephen T. Grogan and Leo \Bud\ Lanning, Good Government candidates for the position of Trustee of the Village of Lynbrook, have received the endorsement of the Lynbrook Police Benev- olent Association. The endorsement was made at a Good Govern- ment Party fundraising din- ner/dance held at the Tally- Ho Firehouse on Horton Avenue in Lynbrook on Saturday, February 23. The crowd of over 250 people cheered as PBA President James Fotis announced the news. \The Lynbrook PBA is pleased to endorse Steve Grogan and Bud Lanning in their race for Village Trus- tee,\ President Fotis stated. \The Good Government Party has been effective in their two years in office and Administrative Changes At ERHS PBA ENDORSES GROGAN/LANNING FOR TRUS- TEE.

His home had been in Hartford, Connecti- cut, for many years. His uni- form is displayed on a hand- some manikin seated in a barber chair in Petretti's Barber Shop display in the museum. Del Denton's daughters, Charlotte and Elizabeth, donated their father's Span- ish American War overcoat to the museum. They also gave many other articles that will be mentioned later. William Woolsey of Lyn- brook parted with a family Spanish American War jacket from the 13th Regi- ment in Brooklyn. Mr. Woolsey also gave a collec- tion of photographs of the burning of the old Sand Hole Church in 1912. A young boy, at the time, he had just been given an Autographed Kodak, so the photos are well docu- mented. The \Red Legs\ of . Brooklyn's 14th Regiment were a famous fighting out- fit going back many years. Joseph Mason of Garden City gave his uniform. There is also a youthful manikin in a boy's military uniform, dating back to 1890, donor unknown. In show cases displaying Spanish Ameri- can and Civil War articles is a prized Civil War American flag presented by Charles Helmke of Oceanside, whose grandfather carried the flag in battle. Captain Rose (we do not have his first name) was a Spanish American War Veteran. After his death in his sister's home on Vincent Place, she turned over the Captain's uniform and war memorabila to Guy Thomp- son, another Spanish Amer- ican War veteran who was then East Rockaway Village Clerk. Eventually these trea- sures were turned over to the Grist Mill Museum.
