BELLEVILLE - BELLEVILLE - Never underestimate the tenacity of veterans no matter what their age or condition, or the power of the press to secure change - $2100 of change, that is.
DAV Chapter 22 Commander Joe Fornarotto phoned to say that just two days after their front-page story in Wednesday's edition of The Observer they received some money in the mail.
The story featured their plight with Nunzio Cupo, former commander of the Belleville-Nutley organization. Cupo plead guilty last year to stealing at least $160,000 from the new building kitty. As of press time, Cupo not paid the remaining $85,000 owed the brothers and sisters in arms.
Hopefully, the rest of the back-owed money will be sent post-haste and continue on time.
A Kearny reader, who phoned to say she was aghast that Cupo never received any time for his actions, requested the address of New Jersey Superior Court Judge John C. Kennedy and Essex County Assistant Prosecutor Arthur Margeotes in order to give the pair a piece of her mind about the injustice of it all.
Way to go, Joe and the rest of the Mill Street crew!
