Jack Farley was two years ahead of me at Holy Cross. His family lived in old Harbour Green - near us in Massapequa. He was a favorite of my mother who taught in the district. In college Jack was the kind of guy who we called "a good man", as in do you know Jack Farley? "a good man" was the affirmative reply. Friendly, smart, captain of the lacross team. He was drafted in 1967, went to Vietnem, lost a leg, survived, became a lawyer and a judge on the Court of Veterans Appeals. After retirement he has devoted himself to counseling wounded soldiers at Walter Reed Army hospital in D.C.
