Hello readers, and welcome to another edition of Around Town.
Notable Passing
Stephen Huston, director of recreation for the Parkchester South Condominiums for decades, passed away recently, according to his daughter Chanel Huston.
My father held his position for over 25 years, fiercely dedicating his life to helping underprivileged children reach their potential through the implementation of many outreach programs in our neighborhood.
During his career, he help to mentor generations of Bronx children onto the right path of adulthood.
His many awards and recognition are evidence of his efforts: New York City Hall of Fame, as well as awards from the U.S. Congress, the mayor, and the NYS Legislature, among many others.
