Man of the hour

Outgoing Johnston Senior Center Director Anthony Zompa was treated to a special luncheon Wednesday afternoon, attended by a few dozen guests and local dignitaries. Mayor Joseph Polisena, Police Chief Joseph Razza, center coordinator Denise Bell and new Director Matthew Bolton each offered remarks on Zompa's two-decade tenure at the JSC. Polisena presented Zompa with a citation from the town honoring his 20 years of serving Johnston’s seniors, helping take the center from a basement office on Priscilla Lane to the current location on Hartford Avenue. At the conclusion of their brief speeches, guests were invited to pick from various snacks at the front of the room. (Sun Rise photos)
