I've covered Iona University basketball since 2010, thru the eras of coaches Tim Cluess and Rick Pitino. On-site I reported on their NCAA games - in 2019 in Columbus Ohio vs North Carolina, and in 2023 in Albany vs. UConn.
I annually present the Lt. Eugene Evans - Lt. Col. Eli Page Howard Jr Leadership Award to NYC area college athletes.
In 2010, due to my long association with military organizations, including Chaplains and Veterans group, I was tasked with helping the Association of Jewish Chaplains of the Armed Forces and Veterans Affairs to help create a Jewish Chaplains Monument on Chaplains Hill in Arlington National Cemetary. Despite the heroism and sacrifice of Jewish Chaplains in American's wars, there had never been a monument for them. Today the Jewish Chaplains Monument stands proudly besides the others. At present I am part of the effort to restore and update the Protestant and Catholic monuments. We also hope to update and improve the access to the Chaplains Monuments.
