Notes about people
by Jerry Van Marter Presbyterian News Service
Presbyterian Disaster Assistance (PDA) has announced the appointment of Richard Cozzone as the new PDA Presbyterian Village coordinator. Cozzone will oversee the operation of five volunteer villages across the Gulf Coast from Gautier, MS, to Houma, LA, outside New Orleans. He succeeds Elizabeth Little, who is returning to North Carolina after 15 months of service in the gulf region.
Cozzone, who first got involved with PDA and gulf relief as a volunteer from the Presbytery of the Western Reserve, has served as both a volunteer village manager and a worksite assignment manager for PDA. A Presbyterian elder, he has been active at all levels of the PC(USA). He is a retired teacher and administrator in the Ohio public school systems.
Cozzone will have a busy fall. A new cadre of Young Adult Volunteers arrives in early September to assist with the management of the villages. In addition, PDA is in the midst of creating a sixth volunteer village, this time in Orleans Parish of New Orleans at the former Eastminster Presbyterian Church. The new village is being called Olive Tree.

Services were held Aug. 27 in Louisville for William J. McAnulty, 59, the first African-American judge to serve on the Kentucky Supreme Court. McNulty died Aug. 23 of brain cancer less than a year after being first appointed and then elected to the state's high court.

Throughout his life he was an active supporter of the Presbyterian Community Center in the Smoketown neighborhood of Louisville, one of the city's poorest. McAnulty served as a judge for more than 30 years.
