CONSTRUCTION
                                 Charles Fels

After living in Oceanside for 31 years, Susan and I moved to
The Cryder House in 2005.

My degree is in accounting, a field that I pursued after
graduation.  I then spent in excess of 35 years in the retail
business in which I owned and operated a high volume men's
and women's footwear establishment.

I am committed to maintaining the high level of this building
for all concerned.  At the same time, I am also committed to
fiscal responsibility.

Neal and his wife, Carol, have been married fifty-four years
and have three children and eight grandchildren.

Neal is a retired teacher and was a football and basketball
coach at Bayside HS.

Neal and Carol own and run children's day camps, sports day
camps and work with the New York Institute of Technology
program for handicapped children.  They also plan to work
with a program in sports for autistic children.

My wife, Kathy, and I moved into The Cryder House in July, 1993.  Up to that time, I lived in
either Brooklyn or Queens for my entire life.

In 2004, at the urging of several of my neighbors, I ran for and was elected to the Cryder
House Board.  I was reelected in 2007 and elected Board President in 2008.

In 2006, I retired after having worked at the Social Security Administration for 35 years.

I have two daughters, two sons-in-law, two granddaughters, and two grandsons, all of whom
live relatively nearby.

MEET OUR
NEW SHAREHOLDERS
Maurice Chayt

Born in Brooklyn at the Brooklyn Womens' Hospital, which thereafter failed and closed.  My first
failure.

I attended public schools through college, starting at CCNY and graduating from Brooklyn College
with a brief educational stint overseas in the U. S. infantry in between.  I subsequently graduated
from Harvard Law School with the assistance of the G. I. Bill, since this one was not tuition free.

I co-founded  the Brooklyn College Alumni Lawyers Group of which I eventually became President,
instituting a program of student meetings with attorney graduates of either CCNY or B. C.

In 1955, I co-founded a law firm with former classmate, Murray Weinstein, who later served as a
State Assemblyman.  The firm now is known as Weinstein, Chase, Messinger & Peters, PC.  I
retired in 1996, continuing as counsel to the firm.  Meantime, I had married Elaine, a Barnard
alumna and we have two daughters, one of whom traded her own J.D. from Berkeley Law for an
Mrs. - and our grandson.

Professionally, I joined and still am a member of the Brooklyn Bar Association, with the title of
Past President, and the New York State Bar Association, where among other titles, I was a Delegate
to its legislative body.  I also became Chairman of the Network of Bar leaders, a coordinating body
then consisting of 25 metropolitan bar associations, now about 37, including the City Bar
Association and all of the county bar associations in New York City.  For 3 terms, I taught law at
Brooklyn College to aspiring lawyers and accountants in evening or weekend classes in my spare
time, until it conflicted with my elections as President of the Brooklyn College Alumni Association.

In 1994, we moved to The Cryder House from Manhattan, having previously lived by the beach in
Rockaway Park, where in my spare time I was active in and then President of the Democratic Club,
and Jamaica Estates, where I was both civicly and politically active.

I now am serving my second term on the Cryder House Board, using my training on insurance
issues, including most claims, and giving in-house legal advice to whoever listens.  Additionally, I
have been serving on CHAC and showing films in the club room.
