 | DEED FINALLY CATCHES UP 
							   Sometimes it takes time 
							for our past deeds --- good or bad --- to catch up 
							with us.    
							Such was the case with Vince Fiorino, former 
							publicity director for the Hollywood [FL] Chamber of 
							Commerce and widely known public relations man in 
							southeast Florida.He got a medal lat week, an oak leaf cluster for his bronze star 
							--- from World War II when he was in the 508th 
							Parachute Infantry. Regiment in Germany.
 The citation, signed  May 13, 1965 gave no reason for the 
							20-year  delay. It merely stated that  the 
							cluster was awarded "for meritorious achievement in 
							ground operations against the enemy during the 
							Rhineland Campaign."
 Surely it couldn't have taken the federal government that log to 
							find Fiorino --- if a publicity man can't make 
							himself and his whereabouts known, he's in the wrong 
							business.
 "Oh, yes, the note from Vince disclosed that he now is regional 
							sales manager for WEAT-TV, Channel 12 in West Palm 
							Beach.
