7:00 p.m. - 9:45 p.m. - at New York Athletic Club in Manhattan for ceremony installing Ray Kelly as Grand Marshal of St. Patrick's Day Parade. Great evening and a well deserved tribute to Ray Kelly.

Thursday, January 14th
2:00 p.m. - 3:45 p.m. - at Nassau Supreme Court to swear in District Court Judge Terry Murphy and Long Beach City Judge Frank Dikranis. Terry is a neighbor and friend, Bosnia & Iraq veteran an an experienced lawyer. Terry, his wife Terry, and their three boys are great people. His father George is a former state legislator and Supreme Court Judge.

Frank Dikranis is a skilled lawyer who years ago was in the NYPD and had my father as an instructor in the Police Academy. Terrific life experience. Will be an excellent judge.

Ceremony went well. Terry and Frank gave very good speeches. Fr. Camp gave invocation. Larry Elovich also spoke well for Frank.
