One of the busiest hosts was Dirk Van Dongen, president of the National Association of Wholesaler-Distributors. On Wednesday he introduced Jack Kemp...
Between Levittown and the Land of the Neverending Fund Raiser lies East Moriches, where people fish, farm, run "country stores" and "garden centers," teach, practice law, hang dry walls and dig swimming pools for other people.
