When longtime Northport teacher John William Hosie (Bill) passed away last November the Retired Teachers of Northport received donations to create a scholarship in his name. It was decided that the scholarship would be given to the graduating son or daughter of a current member of the United Teachers of Northport. The chosen recipient was Robert Cusack, son of Stephanie Cusack, a third grade teacher at Norwood Avenue School. The scholarship was presented at the United Teachers of Northport Retirement Party on Friday, June 10, by members of Bill’s family. His daughter, R-UTN member Cynthia Gorman, honored her father and Robert Cusack at the event.Hosie_Scholarship2From left to right: Nancy Hosie Pierce, Stephanie Cusack, Robert Cusack, Sylvia Hosie, Dave Hosie, Cynthia Hosie Gorman.
