Elderly Staten Island Residents Mingle At "Senior Prom"

NEW YORK, NY - APRIL 02: Jenny Casalino, 85, who lost her home to Hurricane Sandy, dances with her boyfriend Salvatore Russo, 91, at the "Senior Citizens Senior Prom" on April 2, 2015 in the Staten Island borough of New York City. Russo said he served in the U.S. Navy during WWII and was one of the first to storm the island of Guadalcanal in 1942, one of the fiercest Pacific battles between U.S. and Japanese forces. "He's my war hero," Casalino said of Russo. Some 100 senior citizens, many of them affected by Hurricane Sandy in 2012, came to the event, organized by students in the National Honor Society as well as non-profits Where to Turn and Beacon of Hope NY and held in the New Dorp High School cafeteria. The storm destroyed the seniors' Friendship community center, which still has not been rebuilt, and organizers held the event as a way for them to get together and socialize.
