The January meeting of the board of directors was a momentous occasion, with museum President Paul Basile and his fellow civilian officers making room for a whole new cadre of leaders with extensive military background. Basile passed the gavel to retired Army Col. Renato Bacci. Joining him at the top are retired Navy Com. Joseph Troiani (first vice president), retired Army Major Lorenzo Fiorentino (second vice president) and Army veteran Mark DiSanto (third vice president). Filling out the ranks are curator Steve Corbo as treasurer, Basile as secretary and Eugene Giudice as parliamentarian. Basile will also serve as executive vice president, continuing his organizational role behind the scenes. The new officers were sworn in by longtime community leader Joanne Spata.
