New manager
Jerry Sisk, Vice-President and
General Manager of The Station
Complex and Choo Choo Inn, has
announced’ the appointment of
former Yankee Stadium restaurant
boss, Ted Furey, to manager of food
services at the Wilkes-Barre land-
mark restaurant.
Sisk, in making the announce-
ment, noted that Furey’s experience
with the Yankee organizaiton not
only included the food service man-
agement of the 900 seat Stadium
Club and the exclusive ‘Yankee
Club” restaurant, (which carries an
annual membership fee of $1500)
but that he was also responsible for
the coordination of food services at
the Yankee training stadium in Fort
Lauderdale and overseeing the
operations of both 600 seat restau-
rants in George Steinbrenner’s Hol-
lywood Greyhound track, the larg-
est track of its kind in the world.
During his six years of service to
Steinbrenner, Furey was appointed
‘food service coordinator’’ for Pope
John Paul’s 1979 Papal visit, for
which Furey was personally
selected by Steinbrenner to act as
the liaison to the Vatican for all
arrangements including security.
The Six weeks of intense prepara-
tions led to what is the largest
single event in the history of
Yankee Stadium. On the day of the
solemn event, he was chosen to
personally attend to His Holiness.
Furey said the event was a moving
and momentous experience for him
in that he not only enjoyed the
stimulating conversation of the Pon-
tiff, but also received His personal
blessing.
The Lackawanna County native
was responsible for coordinating the
service for regular dinner parties
for such dignitaries as former Pres-
idents Ford and Nixon, foreign nota-
bles and cabinet members, and die
hard Yankee fans such as Kirk
Douglas, Cheryl Tiegs and Cheryl
Ladd, Joan Kennedy, and the cast
of “General Hospital.”
Furey is also the proud owner of
fwo world series rings from the
Yankee victories of 1977 and 1978.
Furey pointed out that the cherished
rings are given not only. to the
players and coaches, but to all
managers in the Yankee organiza-
tion.
Furey’s notoriety as an excep-
tional manager and maitre’d earned
him full page feature articles in The
New York Post and The Daily
News. He said his reputation for
exceptionally trained staffs will
soon become common knowledge in
the Pocono Northeast through The
Station, adding that The Station will
restaurant for its exceptional prepa-
ration and presentation of its food
and wines.
At “The Station’’ he will be work-
ing together with their food service
consultant Robert C. Parker, who is
an author and retired Maitre’d to
the U.S. Senate and also with “The
Station’s Executive Chef, Robert
Astegher, formerly New York’s
Waldorf-Astoria and Rockerfeller
Center’s Swiss Pavilion.
