I've lived in New Jersey for more than 40 years, but I'll never be a real New Jersey girl. I grew up in Pennsylvania where there was lots of snow, one traffic light in town, and 90 kids in my grade--from kindergarten through graduation. I didn't know anything about The Shore, or baked ziti, or Chanukah until I came to Jersey. But, I've come to love all of that and much more--especially the history. I now know about the Jersey Dutch, strawberry baskets, railroad suburbs, the bridge that saved a nation, and so much more. I've learned that to tell the local stories about regular people I need to read wills, estate files, census records, pension applications, letters, tombstones, newspapers, and anything else I can find. So, that's some of what I want to share with you!

Council to Step up to the Plate?

The Fair Lawn Council will consider expending several thousand dollars for emergency repairs to the Naugle house.  That's a step in the right direction.  The meeting is July 15:  work session at 7 pm; regular meeting at 8 pm.  Naugle house expenditure will be taken up in the work session.    During the regular meeting the "consent agenda" includes an item establishing a Fair Lawn Community Garden Committee.  How about a committee to direct the Naugle house repairs?
