There aren't too many of us around who remember the years when the Trenton Evening Times was just that: an evening newspaper. Our delivery man through all those years was Tony Olympio, a very happy man who loved his job and almost always had the paper delivered to our door step on time. It's difficult to imagine an afternoon paper in today's society. Indeed, the afternoon paper, along with the numerous "Extra" and "Late" Editions have gone the way of the passenger pigeon. All of which makes the above graphic very interesting as we look back on the way we used to obtain the daily news.

- Hi Tom & Ralph: Back in Virginia after a visit to Mercer County to see the little Diva; Emily Elizabeth Kuzma perform with her dance school. Took the time to lunch, and dinner with old friends; Bob Maida, Pete Radice,David Pone, Bob Lambert and Michael Kuzma Jr. Can't believe whats happened to our Town! Did see Sacred Heart Church the family parish, which incidentally was also home to the Jim Kerney's Publisher of the Gazette, Times, and the Sunday Advertiser. I can recall up until the late 70's, the times produced the "State Edition" which was mostly yesterdays news, "The late Edition" which was the afternoon, and finally what we all waited for at 4:45 pm, the "The Stock Final" Time to catch up on all the posts I missed. Regards Mike Kuzma

Yes, Tom; Sacred Heart Church is truly an edifice, as is Holy Cross, St. Hedwig's and the other pre WWII churches in the diocese.
ReplyDeleteAll four sisters were married there, made my communion, and was confirmed there, all of the family have been bured there, even my brother in law John Zuccarelli was brought fom Florida for the Funeral Mass there last September.
Give my regards to the Pastor, a really great and accomodating clergman. When I stopped one day to look it over and remember my youth, he approached me, and I told him "I wanted a last visit with my eyes open to see the beauty of it once more."
An interesting aside, the original St.John's was situated on the corner of Market, and Cooper Streets, just a block away. After it was destroyed by fire, Dr. Hertzel's Zion School was buit on the grounds.
Warm Memories, and regards
Mike Kuzma
