Meet Gene Cushman (or Ron)

We are not perfect, much as we would like to be. Reporters encounter many people in the course of the day and names can often become blurred as we move from person to person. It's embarrassing, but it happens.
Sometimes, however, it can also be quite funny.


Take this video shot yesterday by News-Banner Assistant Editor Dave Schultz. The man in the video is Uniondale Town Council member Gene Cushman. It's surprising to me that although Dave calls him "Ron" repeatedly in the video, Cushman remains focused on the most important thing: the new Veteran's Memorial Park they are building.
