Curator's Comment
Paul Cascio earned this varsity letter at Manhasset Secondary School on Long Island, where he participated in cross-country, swimming, and baseball. As an adult, he enjoyed bringing his childhood friends together for weekend ski trips and to watch sporting events. Paul’s friend Ryan Cremins recalled watching New York Yankees games together every season. Whenever the baseball team fell behind during the playoffs, Paul would offer up this reassurance to his friend: “Relax, Cremins, we got this. We’ve been doing this for years."
