Paul Manton draws parallels from the past to the future in his weekly column.
What are the two most extraordinary historical events you have witnessed in your lifetime? Mine were the end of the Cold War and official dissolution of the Soviet Union on December 26, 1991 and the Apollo XI landing on the Moon on July 20, 1969. The first is a significant example of social progress as the militarized totalitarian U.S.S.R. was dismantled peacefully. The second is a significant example of our technological progress because a man walked on the Moon within a dozen years of Sputnik. In many respects, the building of Levittown represents a hybrid of both technological and social progress provided that it's fairly judged within the context of the times. In 1940, for example, building a score of houses would have been …

The Levittown resident collected coats for a fifth straight year.
Lindsay Gruntorad's annual coat drive was a success this holiday season, as the Levittown resident collected a total of 619 coats. Gruntorad informed the Levittown Patch of the final total via email on Dec. 28. This was the sixth consecutive year she organized the coat drive, which she originally started as a Division Avenue High School student. Gruntorad donated 160 coats last year and set a goal of 200 for this year's drive, which was significantly eclipsed. Gruntorad, who now works at a funeral home in Queens, was profiled by the Levittown Patch in October. The story was later picked up by the Huffington Post. Gruntorad was also recently named one of Patch's "Most Influential People" in 2011.
