Posted by alfonse ciaccio on March 22, 2007............Mr. Aulogia was indeed a very special person. In fact, he reminded me of the character played by Richard Dreyfus named "Mr. Holland" in the movie "Mr. Holland's Opus". Reminiscent of that part, Mr. Aulogia would do anything to get one of us kids involved in some sort of positive musical activity. I am a professional musician today in large part due to his influence. He always had what we call in music "big ears" for music. But those ears were not employed only in things musical. Those ears also listened to those of us struggling to find our way in life and as musicians. May he rest in peace. I salute you sir.

                  In Memoriam: Vic Schwarz  

It is with great sadness that we share the loss of Vic Schwarz. http://www.clearwater.org/news/vicschwarz.html   Arnold Victor (Vic) Schwarz of Cold Spring, New York, passed away on Wednesday, September 3rd at Hudson Valley Hospital following a 14-year battle with cancer. He was 76 years old. Vic was born on April 21, 1932 in Kingston, New York, to Arnold F. Schwarz and Helene Lawless Schwarz. He was raised in Newburgh and worked in his Father’s pharmacy in Beacon when not attending school. He graduated from Newburgh Free Academy in 1950. Following his graduation from Pratt Institute in 1953, Vic was drafted into the Army and served in Korea as a field photographer in the Corps of Engineers. Upon returning to the United States, he was stationed in Mineral Wells, Texas. After an honorable discharge, Vic returned to the Hudson Valley where he met Linda Schuler when both were singers in the Philipstown Chorale. They married on January 4, 1959, and settled in Cold Spring, New York, where they raised their three children. An accomplished musician, historian, and conservationist, Vic and longtime friend Pete Seeger collaborated to realize their vision of inspiring and mobilizing people to save the Hudson River from pollution and neglect. Their combined vision brought about the creation of the sailing ship Clearwater, a replica Hudson River Sloop that continues to be used as an environmental educational tool. Their activities in support of Clearwater were the beginning of Riverfests and are acknowledged by historians and conservationists as being the birth of the environmentalist movement in the United States, as well as inspiring similar projects around the world. Vic’s interest in bookmaking and printing led to his career as a book designer and hobby of wood engraving and printing. He owned and operated Mt. Taurus Press, a working restoration of a 19th century print shop in Nelsonville, New York, for over ten years. There he created a series of Hudson River prints that became classic representations of his work as an artist and a print maker. Vic returned to his musician-environmentalist roots with his active participation in the formation of the Little Stony Point Citizen’s Association. This grass-roots organization of local people is dedicated to the preservation and care of Little Stony Point, one of the very few sandy beaches along the Hudson River. As president of the Association, one of his proudest achievements was pursuing and obtaining the funding necessary for the replacement of the formerly condemned bridge, which was the only access to the site. The beach is now a very popular recreation area on the Hudson River. When Vic was diagnosed with cancer in 1994, he decided to devote his time to what made him happiest. Vic established a small business as a luthier, repairing and building acoustic stringed instruments. His business as a luthier led many musicians to his door, and Vic became an enthusiastic performer with friends, his group, Acoustic Workshop, and became a fairly regular performer at the legendary Guinan’s in Garrison, New York. As Vic’s declining health curtailed many of his activities, a dedicated group of friends would often gather at Vic’s house to play music with, and sometimes for, him. Vic is survived by his wife, Linda Schuler Schwarz; his son Carl Victor Schwarz of Lake Carmel, NY and grandchildren Tyler and Elliot Schwarz; his daughter Maria Joy Schwarz Rodriguez and son-in-law Oscar Rodriguez of Blue Point, NY and grandchildren Carl, Lauren, Melanie, and Arlo Rodriguez; his daughter Julann Mae Schwarz Cobb and son-in-law John Cobb of Beacon, NY and grandchildren Ethan and Miles Cobb. Vic’s life will be honored in a gathering of his many of friends and loved ones, sharing music and fond memories in his honor. Friends are invited to participate in this celebration of Vic Schwarz’s life on Sunday, October 19th at 2pm at the Garrison Fish and Game Club. Charitable donations may be made in Vic’s name to Clearwater Sloop Restoration Fund in the right-hand sidebar, or by calling 845-454-7673. For information about the memorial celebration, visit the Friends of Vic website or call 631-891-9701.

    Tompkins, Frances Pelella  passed away on June 15, 2012, in Kennewick, Washington, after a courageous battle with cancer. Fran was born on July 11, 1932, in Poughkeepsie and grew up in Newburgh, along the Hudson River in the lower Hudson Valley of New York State, where she learned the meaning of a hard day's work. She worked on the family farm and at a young age understood the business of chickens and cows, fruit growing and vegetable gardening while always looking forward to that trip to the river to catch fish. It was later in life when she realized how hard that work was and how it paid off. Fran's work ethic and sense of loyalty was instilled in her three children, whom she raised as a single parent during their adolescent years, and worked a full time job. She encouraged her kids to work hard, enjoy sports and have funbut not until the house and yard chores were done. Fran supported her children's dreams and never held them back from doing what they wanted to do. She also enjoyed family and extended family barbeques, trips to the pool, and a friendly game of cards. If you have ever played cards with Fran, especially pinochle, you know how passionate she could become about it. Her kitchen table was open to family and friends who wanted to play and enjoy a good cup of coffee. There was always a pot of sauce with pasta, salad and Italian bread. And her children's friends were always around where they were part of the family. In 1980, Fran followed her children to the Tri Cities, where she worked for Burns and Roe and then later Energy Northwest as a document control clerk until she retired in 1997. During these years she enjoyed cooking from her garden, family get togethers and following her grandchildren's school and sports activities. For several years Fran was a season ticket holder at the Tri-City Americans hockey games and loved watching those players who made it to the NHL. She was an avid NHL hockey fan for over 40 years and enjoyed the 2012 Stanley Cup right to the end. Fran loved living in the TriCities, following grandkids and celebrating every holiday with family. Shopping the fresh markets and annual trips to the Oregon coast with her family were especially fun and enjoyable. Fran enjoyed living at her retirement complex where she organized a birthday club and kept at it for 7 years making sure every member had a card on their birthday and a special dessert during their monthly birthday celebration. Fran is survived by her three children, Debbie Pelella-Pettit (Ron) of Richland, Marianne Banta (Tom) of Kennewick and Mark Pelella (Gina) of Norwalk, Connecticut; grandchildren, Jason Webb (Abbie) of Bothell, Wa, Kristine Webb of Richland, Jasen Banta (Jennifer) of Kennewick, Amber Stoner of Mountlake Terrace, Wa, Nick Banta of Kennewick, Nicole Caruso (Stephen) of Washington D.C., Alexandra Pelella and Mark Pelella II of Norwalk, Connecticut; and five great-grandchildren; sisters, Shirley Lacey (Mel) of Kennewick, Susan Fishel of Mesa, Arizona and Terry Thom (Keith) of Bradenton, Florida, and numerous nieces and nephews. Fran was preceded in death by her mother, Elizabeth Tatman, and step father, Carl Tatman. Fran's strength helped during her valiant fight with cancer. Even during those tough days, Fran stayed strong and made friends with all those who treated and cared for her. She is and will be missed. In lieu of flowers, memorials can be sent to Lower Valley Hospice and Palliative Care 3920 Outlook Road, Sunnyside, We 98944, in memory of Frances Pelella.

   Zutty, Nathan L. "Cap"  chemical industry inventor and senior executive, died Jan. 1, 2008 at his longtime home in New Canaan, Conn. He also lived in Oak Bluffs. After taking his doctorate in chemistry at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute at the age of 24, he joined Union Carbide (now merged with Dow Chemical) in their research and development division, quickly rising to become vice president of research and development for Carbide. Mr. Zutty was a prolific inventor, holding 20 U.S. patents and numerous foreign ones in the polymer and plastics field. During the Viet Nam War, he moved rapidly to help the Pentagon solve a serious problem: dust kicked up by helicopters and other vehicles was damaging mechanical equipment at Cam Ranh Bay. He and colleague A. T. Anderson came up with six products for dust control. Four of them headed the list of all candidates submitted. One was given the go-ahead, and shipments to Viet Nam began within a matter of hours. Mr. Zutty subsequently held several senior executive positions, including chairman of Union Carbide Europe and president of Solvents and Coatings Materials. Born in Brooklyn, N.Y. on Nov. 24, 1933, he was the son of the late Lester Zutty and Blanche Kammerling Zutty. He was predeceased by his wife of 31 years, Jone Latterner Zutty. Survivors include his daughter Kathrin Petterelli of Manlius, N.Y.; his son Max Zutty of Bedford Hills, N.Y.; three grandsons, ( Name removed at 1st grandson's request ), John Petterelli and Ty Zutty; a brother, Lawrence Zutty, and a sister, Judith Apfelbaum, both of New Jersey; and close friend and companion, Marina Draginsky of Stamford, Conn.
