Thanks to the kindness of Barry C., I was able to enjoy a fabulous article in a 1974 edition of National Geographic. This article titled, "The People of New Jersey's Pine Barrens" by John McPhee brought back vivid memeories of forgotten people.
I actually went to old Tabernacle School with Bub Severs (p.67), grandchildren. I remember his sons Joel and Devon who were good frineds of my fathers. I even recalled ripping the clothies off Bub's grandson, Dewayn in the old School play yard. Right behind where the old School from Friendship sits. We were is 5th grade at the time. (I grew up very tough and fought other girls as well as boys throughout school)
On page 73 shows Fred Brown sitting at his kitchen table at his long gone cabin in Hog Wallow. It reminded me so much of the table I grew up at. Was it Ann Page, red & white black pepper cans? Glass ketchup and mustard jars, A&P cardboard milk containers and dirty ash trays among other little odds & ends. These tables that I was once so ashamed of, now fill me with pride. The last page (77), shows a diry blond haired boy, laughing in back of a junked red pickup. The caption explains who the boy is, Larry Anderson, who would now be 34 years old.. I believe he still lives in front of the Hedger House. It speaks of his father Wilbert Anderson, who I believe might be who Iknow as Webb Anderson. This man would have been good friends with Jackie Wills who is mentioned in the caption as owner of the truck. (I will find out more on Thursday when I have coffee and eclars with Webb's stepson who lives in Jones Mills, Chatsworth.) After I find out more on Thursday, I will post other fond memories of Webb and Jackie Wills of Chatsworth....Suresue...
