THIS ARTICLE IS FROM THE HAMILTON TOWNSHIP PUBLIC LIBRARY'S LOCAL HISTORY "AMERICAN-ITALIAN" FOLDER. THERE ARE MANY LOCALLY PROMINENT NAMES IN THE ARTICLE. INCIDENTALLY, MY DEAR FRIEND, BOB IMMORDINO CORRECTED ME MANY YEARS AGO WHEN I USED THE PHRASE "ITALIAN AMERICAN." BOB INSISTED THAT IT SHOULD BE "AMERICAN-ITALIANS." I AGREE AND HAVE CHANGED THE LABEL ON MY FOLDER ACCORDINGLY. HIS CALLING CARD LISTS HIM AS AN AUTHORITY ON "ETHNICANA." HE IS AN EXPERT ON THE AMERICAN-ITALIAN EXPERIENCE, DOROTHEA'S HOUSE IN PRINCETON, AND SPLENDID HISTORY OF HIS HOMETOWN OF LAWRENCEVILLE. HIS MONUMENTAL EFFORTS OVER THE LAST 60 PLUS YEARS GET VERY LITTLE RECOGNITION. CAN YOU SAY, "AGE DISCRIMINATION?"
