George Raymond Waldmann Ensign, United States Navy |

| In
the first week of the war a small item appeared in the news to the effect
that a gift of 3 ½ acres for a second park had been deeded by the
Museum, gratefully accepted by Mayor Dow. This was the same land
around ‘pollywog pond’ offered for free ‘temporary’ use back in 1933.
In 1943 the Village Board by solemn resolution renamed this parcel to honor
the first man from Munsey Park, New York, to lose his life in the service
of his country, Lieutenant George Raymond Waldmann. On Memorial Day in
1946 a touching commemoration was conducted by the American Legion at Waldmann
Park to honor all the men of Manhasset, and our country, who would not
return.
