Generally Speaking: Loss of two prominent leaders
Theresa Rosen was truly an outstanding community and civicleader. I have very fond memories of the outstanding work she hasdone on behalf of several organizations. I had the pleasure ofbeing with her at three recent major events, all in June: The 60thanniversary of the Bay Ridge Community Council at the El CaribeCountry Club where I snapped her photo with Assemblywoman NicoleMalliotakis, the 131st anniversary luncheon of the Society of OldBrooklynites, and then in Washington, at the Justice Department forthe 51st annual ceremony in commemoration of Charles J. Bonaparte,founder of the FBI and the nation’s 46th attorney general.

Ironically, with the announcement of the death of Hugh Carey,Theresa’s son Richard reminded me that his mom was an accomplishedpianist, a song writer and composer. She wrote a campaign jinglefor Carey when he was running for governor, entitled, It’s allabout you, Hugh Carey.
