SUMMARY:FIGHTING 69TH HISTORIAN TO SPEAK
DESCRIPTION:69TH REGIMENT HISTORIAN AT IRISH SOCIETY MEETING\nWhy is t
 he 69th Infantry Regiment, of the New York Army National Guard, so clo
 sely associated with the Irish? How did it get the name “Fighting Si
 xty-ninth?” When did it “invade” Garden City?  Those questions 
 and others about the storied unit of Corcoran, Meagher, Donovan, Duffy
  and Kilmer will be answered at the March 11 meeting of the Irish Cult
 ural Society.  The meeting convenes at 7:30 p.m. in the Garden City L
 ibrary, 60 Seventh Street, across the street from the Garden City Hote
 l.  This meeting is free and open to the public.\nThe speaker at the 
 meeting will be the 69th’s Regimental Historian, Bert Cunningham. Th
 e remarkable story of the 69th is one filled with more than 164 years 
 of action, color, and heroism.\nA former officer with the 69th, Mr. Cu
 nningham spent forty-three years in the field of marketing and public 
 relations on Long Island, and also served as an adjunct assistant prof
 essor at Hofstra University. Now, as a volunteer, he is part of the 69
 th’s Regimental Headquarters, which is charged with preserving the h
 istory, heraldry, artifacts and records of the 69th.  The evening wil
