WPCNR Post Road Rambler. By John F. Bailey. July 16, 2004: Revellers and well-wishers to George Gretsas, including Mr. Gretsas mother and father attended the posh Gretsas Fairwell at Laguna  on Post Road Thursday evening. Most City Commissioners attended, as well as a great many county legislators with whom Mr. Gretsas used to work. The program was highlighted by a slide show chronicling the achievements of Mr. Gretsas during his six-and-a-half year career as the City's Executive Officer. Mayor Joseph Delfino extolled Mr. Gretsas talents saying how hard he worked for the city, and told the gathering that he, Mayor Delfino would be taking over the day to day details of Mr. Gretsas job "for the time being." Gretsas was given a proclamation and a key to the city.

At one point when a slide was shown of the former Main and Mamaroneck fountain then the new Renaissance Plaza fountain was shown, the audience spontaneously burst into applause and tears could be seen, according to one observer in the eyes of many of the Gretsas faithful. The CitizeNetReporter was denied entrance to the affair by the Mayor's Office, even though your reporter was willing not to eat or drink any of the vituals provided as part of the $35 admission fee.
