Letter to the Editor: Enjoyed the Growing Up Gloucester Article

Bill

What a nice human interest article. It was especially interesting for me me since (1) Walt Butler and I developed the playing rules (everyone plays a quarter etc), I coached Orlando\’s (a few of my players were Stan Booth, Bob Weichman, Franny Hass, Jake Miller etc., Also both my sons (Tom & Scott) played in the league with other teams, and I later refereed high school and college basketball with Alan\’s dad Sam (Mester). Hal Merritt and Franny Powers two excellent high school basketball referees donated their time each weeks in working the games bro bono..

 The league was a great diversion for the kids, the parents were tolerable as fans 🙂 and the kids were great to work with.. They reflected the Gloucester generation that possessed values that was an honorable bi-product of those families that endured WW2 and Korean Wars.. (Note: Korea will always be for war to me, when you have close to 50,000 deaths and thousands of wounded)

In closing I hope you keep up human interest articles such as you have, and as a guy who was born and raised in the city I find them thoroughly enjoyable.. Might even be time for another nick name submission. Just kidding but I remember that generated a great deal of interest with former and present Gloucesterites

Letters: FISHING SHOULD BE ALLOWED AT FREEDOM PIER

 

I just read the article from Ken Doyle about not being able to fish from Freedom Pier. Now I don\’t know how other Gloucester CITY residents feel, but no fishing is just not right. We have two, what used to be nice piers, and Gloucester City cannot take care of them?


These areas are not that old. Come on, how does the city expect people to come here to live if the two places that should offer some type recreation for free to the residents, especially senior citizens, cannot be taken care of?

Letters: A BIG THANK YOU!

We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the Gloucester City Fire Department for marching \"Thank-You-4-Early-Payment\" in our 4th of July parade and taking part in our ceremonies honoring Jim, John & Tommy at the Sylvester, West memorial. We would also like to thank the Bellmawr Fire Department along with other organizations and individuals who took the time in placing wreaths, flowers or other symbols of remembrance at the Memorial at King’s Hwy and Station Avenue.

Ever since the monument was dedicated in December of 2007, the Fire Department has been stopping at the site during the 4th of July parade in a brief ceremony to place the flowers that the Chief of Department carries with him during the parade and two wreaths honoring Chief Sylvester and Deputy Chief West. Several hundred people surrounded the memorial on King’s Highway that day as we paid tribute to these great men. We invite everyone to join us each and every year.

We would like to thank all of those that assisted in the events throughout that day, including the Officers and Firefighters of the Atco Fire Department of Waterford Township who volunteered to cover our fire house, in station, while we were at the Gloucester City Parade on Tuesday night and during our activities on July 4th.

Last but certainly not least, a very special thank you to the American Legion Post 150 for allowing the Mount Ephraim and Gloucester City Fire Department’s Honor Guards to lead the parade this year.

 The Officers and members of the Mount Ephraim Fire Department
