1978: A CHRISTMAS GREETING FROM THE JACK RAFFERTY FAMILY


Herewith a Christmas greeting from former Hamilton Mayor Jack Rafferty's family as it appeared in the late, great, Mercer Messenger 30 years ago. Along with the acquisition of Kuser Farm, Sayen Gardens, and other historic endeavors, the Rafferty administration was responsible for the establishment of our Hamilton Local History Collection. Fortunately for we citizens, Jack Rafferty and his administration had an intense interest in local history. Many years ago, I approached Mayor Rafferty with the concept of a beginning a Local History Collection. Jack, along with Business Administrator Joe Belina, and Mayoral Aide Mo Rossi were much interested in beginning to collect, restore, and preserve Hamilton's magnificent historical heritage.
