I recently posted a "then" and "now" photo of what I thought was the old Woodruff farm house which was on the site of today's Trenton Country Club. As you can see buy the correction I received from Mr. John Case, I am apparently in error. The revised graphic above dated March 15, 1931, was the source on which I predicated my assumption that the two buildings were the same. Many thanks for the correction, John. It is important that we be accurate in re-telling history. I have deleted the erroneous post and replaced it with the one above, and also retained the comments which were in the erroneous page.JOHN CASE WROTE:
Thanks Tom this is interesting . I would think that the building you refer to as the original is not a photo of our club .. Trenton Country Club
201 Sullivan Way

HI TOM.....MY BROTHER CHUCK BELONGED AND LOVED HIS GOLF ALONG WITH THE DINNING FACILITIES. HIS DAUGHTER VANESSA HAD HER WEDDING RECEPTION THERE. I WAS TOLD, IN THE EARLY DAYS, THAT IT WAS HARD TO JOIN UNLESS YOU CAME OVER ON THE MAYFLOWER. MOST OF THE ITALIAN DOCTORS FROM THE BURG BELONGED BUT I'M TOLD THE JEWISH DOCTORS HAD PROBLEMS. THAT WAS THE BEGINNING OF THE GREEN ACRES COUNTRY CLUB IN LAWRENCE TOWNSHIP, WHICH ALSO TURNED OUT TO BE A FINE COMPLEX. I RECALL MANY KIDS FROM THE BURG WERE CADDIES AT BOTH CLUBS, WHICH HELPED DURING THE TOUGH YEARS.
Hi Tom. (out of about 2500 posts)
ReplyDeleteI think I mislabeled like 4 or 5
posts over the course of time and
was corrected by my readers.
I put Diamonds on the wrong street
by mistake, posted the incorrect
building for Trenton Catholic,
The incorrect Church for Sacred
Heart and 2 other errors. They
were all corrected by me and most
of them were found by my readers
the day they were posted.
I make no claim of perfection but
strive for accuracy and will change
or delete items if needed, just as
you have done here:)
MACK: IT'S NICE TO HEAR THAT BOTH OF US HAVE ERASERS ON OUR PENCILS! I AM SURE I WILL MAKE MISTAKES IN FUTURE POSTS, BUT LIKE YOU, THEY WILL BE HONEST MISTAKES, AND WHEN WE ARE MADE AWARE OF ERRORS,THEY ARE IMMEDIATELY CORRECTED, BY THE WAY, A GREAT PHOTO OF THE ARENA! WELL DONE.
ReplyDeleteSTAY COOL.
