Peninsula General Hospital in Rockaway Beach has named a new playroom in its pediatric unit after Randi Press, an 11-year-old girl who was one of seven children killed in the bus crash near Allentown, Pa., on July 15. The bus was taking 52 youngsters and adults of the Hillel School, Lawrence, Long Island, on an outing. Joseph L. Bock, executive director of the hospital, said Randi’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Larry Press, were “strong contributors” to the institution through the Humanities Club of Brooklyn.
