1986: Remembering the Mercer Messenger

(Note: In the likely event that you read the column in the graphic above, please note that the word "lie" was erroneously omitted from the sentence referring to "un-picked flowers.")

This article was published when Publisher Jack Lacy decided to give a bit more "oomph" to the Mercer Messenger. My column, "The Way We Were," was promoted to a full page, and I sure could use it! There was, is, and always will be tons of interesting material to write about the wonderful township of Hamilton, the city of Trenton, and all of Mercer County. The size of the page precluded inclusion of the complete page. In order to pick up the continuation on page 17, I had to edit, cut, and paste the rest of the column over the graphic.
