You had mentioned in an earlier post that the salad dressing is being sold online. Did you happen to notice if that is available at the store as well? Now I definitely have to go and get a steak sandwich and gorganzola salad for myself!! Thanks for the info.

Having grown up in Greenwich I know Manero's well. It was a nice casual place to go and have a good meal. It is really missed! The property was sold and I believe condos are to be built there. I think what happened is as the older generation passed on maybe the younger generation wasn't interested in carrying on the restaurant. Also with the prime property they probably got an offer they couldn't refuse. As for the store that opened, I was told it is run by the same guys who worked in the butcher shop at the original Manero's so they have many of the favorites like the gorganzola salad and the garlic bread and of course the prime meats. I haven't had a chance to check it out yet, but with all this talk about Manero's my mouth is watering for some of those old favorites so I might have to go there soon.

For me it was a stong desire to help people and to do something I could feel really proud of and would be so rewarding. I'm starting much older than most going into this field, but I didn't go into it for the money and I love being a volunteer with both an ambulance corp as well as a FD with their EMS. Better late than never right?

I am a volunteer with WEVR (Westchester Emergency Volunteer Reserves) and we were at the drill to act as victims. This was the first drill I participated in. In no way am I being critical of what any of the EMS people did especially since I am one of them, but from my point of view as a victim it appeared as if there was no sense of urgency and being on the far end of the disaster area it seemed to take a very long time before anyone even got to triage us. We heard afterward that the victims at the beginning of the crash area where the emergency people were entering were being triaged 2 and 3 times. I can't understand why they didn't sent EMS people to various locations of the disaster area to tend to more people. After finally getting triaged we were then left again for quite awhile in the hot sun before anyone got back to us. I was then moved to another location by 4 firefighters and placed back on the ground. I was then moved to a stretcher and moved again and the large laceration on my arm still had not been treated. Things just seemed somewhat unorganized, but it was still interesting to watch the various agencies working together to get things done. As for the other shirts you may have seen they might have been the ones given to the WEVR members and they do have the WEVR logo on the front.
