Event recap:
Local Lore & History Panel with Sandy Schlosser, Gordon Ward & Don E.
Smith, Jr.
Saturday, December 10, 2011 - 6:30p
Last night's Face The Fiction/Local Lore & History Panel/Holiday Dinner
was marvelous! The panel was great - Mr. Don Smith not only
demonstrated his proficient emceeing skills, but also his considerable
knowledge of local history and folklore. Ms. Sandy Schlosser was of
course her usual lovely and delightful self, and Mr. Gordon Thomas
Ward was both intelligent and entertaining. Their anecdotes, ghost
stories and legends were a real treat.
The great food, great friends, and great fun were a grand blend for a
memorable holiday get-together.
The William B. Mawhinney Memorial Ambulance Corps in Hawthorne was
a very nice facility. Kudos to Kelly Burke Rickley, Jo Brown and Ann-Marie
for making the evening run flawlessly - Thank You Ladies!
(Gene McGrath)
Message body We all knew how good Sandy was going to be due to
her prior appearances. It turned out that Gordon was just as interesting,
and Don made a great moderator, which I mentioned to him as he was
leaving. As usual, our Holiday Party was a lot of fun. (Chris H)

Saturday, 1/14/12
Last night's casual dinner/get together at Mahwah Bar & Grill was a
great time with great friends - an excellent way to ring in the new
year. (Gene McGrath)
Much fun was had. Good food and fun conversation. Moshe held
court telling jokes. Thom came all the way from Baltimore for the
event! Gene made some "interesting" observations. This is a great
way to start off the new year and has become one of our favorite
traditions. (AM)
Good to see so many members of the SFSNNJ. Fun & relaxed
atmosphere. (Chris)
