I was watching the lift off on CNN and 15 seconds to launch, they suddenly switched to it high up and accelerating. For some reason they skipped the launch.

That's a deerslayer Al!

I think it's off, no? Weather disallows.

Very nice. Magnificent creatures. I've heard they may be on Cedar Creek and the Forked River too, but I've never seen one.

Nice. Threatened specie Guy.

Likely him when he was young. When I picked berries for him in 1968 or so, he was in his 60's seems to me.

Pemberton has nice examples of homes of that era. I went to Pemberton High school, and rode through that town for 7 years to school on a bus. A man named Lyman was mentioned above. I picked blueberries as a teen for 4(?) summers, 2 of them for Lyman Simpkins. Do you see anything about him Guy?

Back then, there were limited treatments for most cancers, if that's what he had. He was likely suffering.

Stimulating my interest in Mr. Gaskill, I found this on a search. He is quoted in this Wiki article about Swarstwood Lake. I didn't know too much about it before, but there is a lot of interesting information in here. Well written. It's really surprising how geologists can put all the early...

That is sad, I'm sorry to hear that. What was his age at time of death? It sounds unusual for a person his age.

Emmor must have felt pretty good about the Armistice, signed just 2 months later. He likely would not have been drafted anyway, but still.

I think it's still being fought over in the courts or within the halls of Government Departments (EPA, Pinelands, Cafra, etc.)

I like that lake a lot, and I like the name. I recall a couple family picnics there. I've lived and swam in Hampton Lakes, Presidential Lakes, Lakehurst, and Bamber Lake. I also swam in Mirror lake and both swimming lakes in Forked River and Harry Wright lake in Whiting too. Fond memories.

People will hire themselves out as junk removers. They remove it alright, but they don't pay a fee at the county dump.
