This is just one of the many graphics that Google nuked when I imported Picasa. I have just been going through the lost graphics and am very very very gradually restoring them. I have copied and pasted the numerous comments that were posted when this post appeared a few years ago. I have also "nuked" the original with that dreaded black triangle with the exclamation in the center.

As regular followers and visitors to this blog are well aware, "Local History With A Personal Touch" is proudly printed on the regular home page graphic when one clicks on www.glover320.blogspot.com. Even though it isn't on my current Kuser Park summer program, it will return when I change back to my regular home page graphics. Our own Ralph Lucarella is a card-carrying member of "The Greatest Generation" who all of us love and respect. Ralph has added immeasurably to the history listed on this blog with his retrospective looks back to his younger years as a local boy growing up in what was and still can be the greatest city in New Jersey.

THANKS AGAIN TOM FOR ALL THOSE MEMORIES AND TO THE GUYS WHO ALSO HAD THEIR GOOD DAYS IN THE YEARS PAST. I REALLY BELIEVE SPORTS HAD A LOT TO DO WITH MY STILL BEING AROUND AT 94 YEARS OLD ON MY NEXT BIRTHDAY. COMBINE THAT WITH BEING A LETTER CARRIER AND ALL THOSE MILES OF WALKING THAT WAS PART OF THE JOB. I HOPE MY LUCK HOLDS OUT AND WE ALL CAN LOOK BACK TO THE YEARS OF OUR YOUTH . REGARDS AND BEST WISHES TO ALL.
