Valley Stream Central AOT's Books

Ed Sassano, VSC Secretary in the class of 1987 told us that the VSC Chapter had 3 thick binders with all the papers and correspondence between VSC AOT and Brooklyn. As well as documentation on the Oceanside and Middletown Connecticut Chapters. Joe Brugnolotti of the Brooklyn Chapter had told me that when VSC was founded in 1955 they were given full documentation from Brooklyn AOT.

Ed passed those books on to the next Secretary as was the tradition. They have not been seen since the late 1980's. Those books are the Rosetta Stone of AOT and they need to be found.

If you have any part of the Valley Stream AOT Books, contact Ed Sassano at Coda5369@aol.com or this website.

"The Oceanside Roster Book"

This is what we in the Oceanside chapter commonly refer to as "The Book". This book was a blank ledger that each and every brother signed upon induction into the Oceanside chapter.

The inside cover had a plastic envelope with a written description of the night that Valley Stream AOT came to Oceanside in the fall of 1957 and inducted the first brothers from Oceanside and effectively founded the Oceanside Kappa Theta chapter.

Page one of the ledger had a heading that read "First Brothers Inducted" and it was dated. Each of the charter members signed their names. Every subsequent induction in our chapter was listed as "second brothers inducted, third brothers inducted", etc, etc. This ritual was a time honored tradition in Oceanside AOT until the closing of the chapter. Every brother that ever was in Oceanside AOT from 1957 to 1984 signed that book upon induction.

Sometime between 1984 and 1985 this book, and many other documents from Oceanside's "suitcase" were "lost".

All that I have spoken to claim ignorance as to the whereabouts of the books. The fact is that these books were in the care of said officers and they had an obligation to keep them safe and available to all Oceanside of AOT alumni.

This green ledger book is the most sought after of all the Oceanside documents and there is no doubt that someone has it. Simply put, we want it returned. Mail it to me, drop it off to The Fishery in East Rockaway, but many alumni from Oceanside have a right to look at and handle that book again and we intend to keep up the search.

The last officers were responsible for those books.

Whoever has it, please bring it to us.
