2010SayvillePreProm

After a threat of a thunder storm, it was decided to abandon the regular "Islip Grange" venue and move to the portico of the Sayville Middle School. As it turns out, the weather held up and in fact got quite steamy. All of the seniors and their dates were looking so good! All dressed up with a great place to go - the Senior Prom! A very memorable event - we hope that everyone had a wonderful time.

"Atta Pepper 2010" - the 7th annual fishing outing to benefit the "Albert J. Schaufler II Memorial Foundation." Al Schaufler spent his life providing encouragement and support to everyone he met. The foundation continues his efforts by providing scholarships and financial support to some very worthy individuals and organizations. Al's loving pat on the back followed by an "Atta Pepper" was confirmation that one was doing the right thing and trying his best. Everyone who participated in any way just received an "Atta Pepper" from Al. It was a great day!

Lots of rain this weekend, but the sun shined brightly on this great fund raising event.  The cute kids, the families, the teams of walkers, the volunteers, the entertainers, and the speakers all contributed to making this a memorable day.  I felt honored to be able to capture so many of their images in these photographs.  Please enjoy the photos and visit www.autismspeaks.org to find out how you can help this worthy cause. 

Sayville Sr Prom 2009

These are the pre-prom portraits taken at the Islip Grange on June 25.  The Sayville PTA organized the event, and rented the carriage that makes the perfect prop for these photos.  All of the ladies and gentlemen were so impressive in their evening garb, and they were absolutely terrific to work with.  We wish everyone a very enjoyable summer and great memories of their Sayville High School careers.  Congratulations!

After a late start, the rains came.  The fish liked being wet, so everyone else joined them.  Thanks to some very considerate planning ponchos were provided to all participants.  The camera took a bit of a bath, so this abbreviated version will have to do for this year.  Overall, a very enjoyable day that benefited a very worthwhile charity.  Atta Pepper!

Once again, thanks to Mike, we had great seats to see the Yankees beat the Washington Nationals.  This time it was a come from behind victory.  As much as I miss the old Stadium for nostalgic reasons, the new Stadium is really magnificent! 
Damon didn't quit catch Dunn's home run, but Melky stole a double as he slid across center field with the ball barely in his glove.

It was "Sunrise Drive" night at Citibank Park.  The LI Ducks played the Newark Bears and won in come-from-behind style.  The highlight of the evening was the presentation of the colors by our Cub Scouts and the rousing rendition of the National Anthem by the Sunrise Drive Select Chorus.  The rain held off and everyone seemed to have a great time!  Thanks to the PTA for putting it all together.

A day like I remember as a kid.  Parade through town followed by a pick-up game at the local ball field.   What a great way to start off the summer.

YankeesVsToronto_Aug30,2008

 Final season at "the old" Yankee Stadium.  This game on Aug. 30 was only 12 from the final game.  Our friend, Mike gave us some excellent tickets - box seats between home and third.  Weather-wise it was an excellent day, but the Yankees managed to turn a 6-2 lead into a 7-6 loss.  Farewell to a grand old facility - forever "The Stadium!"
