Zia <AnimagusGirl@aol.com> USA - Wednesday, October 09, 2002 at 07:34:37 (EDT) The town looks great, the schools are going down the drain, put back the Tech Program at the High School. Not everyone will become a Doctor/Lawyer/Computer Tech.... Those classes were the best, it allowed a little bit of wined down time, while learning an important trade or just how to down things for your self and responsibility. I learned a lot from Mr. Weida and Mr. Borbon for wood shop and mr. parker in auto shop.

Adelay (Bopp) Idler <pidler@earthlink.net> Elk Grove, Ca USA - Friday, September 13, 2002 at 11:38:31 (EDT) Live on Summit Ave from birth (1945) till college years (1965). Fielding, SOJH and CHS (class 1963). My father started the local Chrysler-Plymouth dealer on Valley Steet (Tenent-Robinson). I remember helping with the christmas model railroad displays in the showroom. My dad made his employees bring foster kids from somewhere in Irvington to see the display and have a big dinner. I was in school at Fielding when the tire building caught fire. My dad started a stock brokerage firm in 1955 called Parker, Robinson & Kristeller. He sold the C-P dealership to Wigder in 1956. Instead of growing up as a showroom brat (loved the cars), I became a boardroom brat (not as much fun). Wound up making a career on Wall Street anyway. I used to walk to SOJH along the RR tracks every day, usually taking the time to flatten some pennies under the trains. So many memories. Glad to see my class trying to do a 50 year reunion. I'll be there. Bill Bill Robinson <bdatabill@aol.com> Franklin, NC USA - Monday, September 09, 2002 at 11:29:29 (EDT) Hello !

(local Historical society?) We are taking a trip to your town this weekend. My family (BROWN and BALL) originally comes from the Maplewood/South Orange area, being one of the first settlers there. I was wondering if you had any further information about our BROWN family. My (x8)grandfather John Brown(e) lived in South Orange in around 1667. All of my grandparents lived in this area til the late 1800's when my great grandfather left Orange for Holyoke, Massachusetts. The line went: John Brown(e) his son Joseph his son Joseph his son Job his son Job his son Aaron (I am named after his wife Dorcas) his son John Smith his son John Newton (who moved to Holyoke) his son Wilford Chapman his son Donald Freeman, who is my 93year old father. He is very interested in family history, and we are taking the trip to Maplewood/Orange THIS weekend. I JUST found your website, so have given little time for planning. We will be staying at Les Saisons Saturday, August 10th through Monday Aug 12. My father is quite active (a retired Prof. of Anthropology). He plans to walk through both villages, and to visit this old cemetaries listed in his genealogy. Any help would be appreciated!

Ice Skating all winter for a tag that cost a quarter, watching by brother play baseball (no girls allowed then), scavaging for returnable bottles and heading to the candy store for an exchange. Red string licorice and pistachios were my favorites. Where is Mr. Denk now. A few years ago my sister and I were compelled to return, drive around, lunch in the village, and visit Tuscan School. They have added a cafeteria. In my day we walked home for lunch and returned. Ah what memories I have of growing up in such a lovely town. My family moved me when I was 14. Now more than 30 years later I find myself searching this website. And I still think Maplewood is grand.

He was our unsung hero as he constructeds sets of more and more complexity for each show. My particular favorite was one for "THE RED MILL" when he built a working large windmill on the stage at SOJHS. It was big enough for several of the characters to stand on the middle level! He was a good teacher too; tough but FAIR!!! He was a good friend. G. H.
