As an historian, how I wish there were more folks like the Fisher family who appreciated the important part their family played in the history of our area. In the above "The Way We Were" article I published a letter from Mrs. Laura Fisher Beebe, whose fascinating reminiscences of growing up in early Villa Park provides an interesting and historic look back at one of Trenton's legendary neighborhoods. For over 50 years, I have been imploring those families with senior citizen parents and grandparents to record, either on paper, or via audio recording, memories of the neighborhoods in which they grew up.
