...because when you think of Jersey City postal service, you think "great public servant."

Quote:
It was a special event for public dignitaries. Frank Guarini was a great public servant. He represented the old U.S. 14th congressional district which was the entire area of Jersey City. Today J.C. is broken up into 3 districts represented by those that live in other towns that share the small area of J.C. Three cheers for Frank Guarini and the U.S. post office that bears his name.

They blocked off the street and sidewalks in front of the post office on Washington Street. The public is not invited to this party. Customers have to use the side entrances to enter the post office. It is like parallel universes.

Post office being named for Guarini

Monday, June 16, 2008

Today at 11 a.m., the main post office in Jersey City at 69 Montgomery St. gets named for former New Jersey congressman and state senator Frank J. Guarini.

Born in Jersey City and a graduate of Lincoln High School, Guarini, now a real estate investor, served in Congress from 1979 to 1993, where he was a member of the powerful Ways and Means Committee and the Budget Committee.

Elected to the New Jersey State Senate for two terms, he served on the Appropriations, Environmental and Transportation committees.

As a lieutenant in the Navy Reserves, Guarini saw active combat in the Pacific Theater aboard the USS Mount McKinley.

Guarini holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Dartmouth College and a Juris Doctor and Master of Law degrees from NYU School of Law.

Scheduled to join Guarini at today's dedication are U.S. Sens. Frank Lautenberg and Robert Menendez, U.S. Rep. Albio Sires and Jersey City Mayor Jerramiah T. Healy.
