Street Name Ensures Historian Will Not Be Forgotten
 Family, friends, elected officials and other well-wishers gathered on Saturday, Oct. 24 for a cemerony to co-name 109th Street between 86th Street and Jamaica Avenue in Richmond Hill as “Nancy Cataldi Way.” A founding member of the Richmond Hill Historic Society where she acted as president for over a decade, Cataldi, who died last November at the age of 55 of a brain hemorrhage, was an outspoken preservationist who launched an unrelenting campaign to save Richmond Hill’s Victorian homes and maintain the character of her community. As shown above: (front row, left to right) City Council Member Elizabeth Crowley; holding sign, Cataldi’s brother and sister-in-law Michael and Michelle Cataldi; brother Albert Cataldi Jr. and father Cataldi Albert Sr. City Council Member Tony Avella is shown at back right.
