essential member of Schreiber High School's indoor track team; and

year, and one of the top recruits as well, Torr Marro joined the emerg-
ing lacrosse program at Princeton University, where he starred for four
years with the Tigers at what was the beginning of the Princeton NCAA
lacrosse championship dynasty of the 1990s and through the millennium;
and
WHEREAS, Torr Marro was named Ivy League Rookie of the Year in 1990,
was a key figure on Princeton's first Division I NCAA national champion-
ship in 1992, and as team captain in 1993, he attained All-American
status as a senior, and played in the North/South All-Star game; and
WHEREAS, The members of the Princeton lacrosse team voted Torr Marro
as the winner of the Albert F. Howard award, given annually to the
senior member of the Princeton varsity lacrosse team who has shown the
greatest improvement in lacrosse during his undergraduate years at
Princeton; and

period of constructive involvement, Torr Marro has stood constant in
dignity, good grace and humor; and
WHEREAS, With him throughout have been his wife, Andrea, and their
three children, Luke, Justin and Tanner, all of whom feel privileged to
be a part of his life and rejoice in his achievements; and
WHEREAS, Rare indeed is the impressive dedication shown by an individ-
ual for the benefit of others which Torr Marro has displayed throughout
his life; and
WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body that those who
enhance the quality of life in their community and have shown a long and
sustained commitment to the maintenance of high standards in their
profession, certainly have earned the recognition and applause of all
the citizens of this great Empire State; now, therefore, be it
