Encourage your 4-Hers to be a part of Imagination in Action at Rutgers Day. This is a non-competitive event open to youth grades K-13. 4-Hers can submit art created in their clubs, on their own, or at school.

They may wish to present their entries for county Public Presentations or share their 4-H fair entries. 4-Hers need not be in arts related clubs to participate in Imagination in Action. This is a wonderful opportunity for your 4-Hers to be recognized for their accomplishments. If a 4- Her wishes to display artwork, photography or creative writing, but is unavailable to attend Rutgers Day, I will make arrangements to receive those items prior to Rutgers Day, and return them following Rutgers Day.

Morrison, Rutgers College Class of 1964, on September 23, 2009, New Brunswick, New Jersey. Also present are Sarah Morrison and Sandra Stewart Holyoak. [Editor's Note: Sarah Morrison is Mark S. Morrison's daughter.] Sandra Stewart Holyoak: Thank you very much for coming. I would like to begin the interview by asking you to tell me where and when you were born. Mark S. Morrison: I was born in Manhattan, in New York City, Jewish Memorial Hospital, March 10, 1942. The hospital has since become a condominium, I understand. SH: You started it off right. MM: One of the great mysteries in the family, which I never understood, my parents lived in New Brunswick, it was wartime, yet, they got in a car, Mom and Dad, and went to Manhattan for my mother to give birth. SH: Was there family living close by, perhaps? MM: I don't really know, don't know. The hospital's all the way up in Manhattan, is near Columbia University. It was there. As I say, it's a condo [now]. SH: Tell us about your father, his name and a bit about his family background, if you would. MM: Yes, my father's name, Jacob Morrison.
