1916: NEW HOME FOR THE YMHA OF TRENTON

I have been working in the ever-growing "JEWISH" folder in the Hamilton Library Local History Collection files. The above engraving and article tell of the acquisition of the building on Trenton's South Stockton Street.
THE FOLLOWING RECEIVED FROM RALPH LUCARELLA, A LOYAL VISITOR TO MY BLOG:RALPH WROTE:
Hi Tom: I fondly recall the many times we played basketball on the Y.M.H.A. court. in the 30s. I had many friends in school and those I played other sports with who were members. Sharky Rosenthal, the Olinsky brothers, Irv Kern and many others who invited us to play there. I remember the low ceiling in the gym which did'nt allow you to arch your shots at the basket. Thanks for the memory. Regards, Ralph
