    Nick Sunday Papers Accession Number: 2017.014

    Collection: Nick Sunday Papers Accession Number: 2017.014 Finding Aid Date Range: 1934-2017 Bulk Date: 1993-2003 Creator: Nick Sunday Number and type of containers: 21 letter-sized flip-top boxes Storage Location: PCHS Library and Archives Aid Created By: Ursula Romero (volunteer) Biographical Information: Nick Sunday was born in Paterson, New Jersey in 1947. He spent much of his life studying art, and in the 1970s began creating Xerox art under the name Dark Dusting. In addition, Sunday collaborated with his wife, Joy Sikorski, on several children’s books including the Paterson-inspired Squeaky Chalk, published in 2000. He continued to study and create art throughout his life, attending SUNY Albany in 1974, Skidmore College in 1978, and graduating from Hampshire College’s school of communications and computer science in 1984. Throughout his life, he maintained an interest in art and graphic design, occasionally offering classes on various art techniques to local children. Nick Sunday was an independent historian and researcher whose focus was primarily on the history of Paterson and its surrounding areas. To that end, he established the Jennie Tuttle Hobart Museum in 1993, the name of which he later attempted to change to The Paterson Museum, and which was eventually disbanded in 1995. In 2000, he established the Alexander Hamilton National Memorial. He created frequent newsletters pertaining to Paterson history and culture throughout the mid-1990s and early 2000s, titled Mary Ellen and Salamander, and often appeared in local newspapers discussing the history of the city. One of Sunday’s primary interests was the city plan for Paterson which was originally drawn by Pierre Charles L’Enfant.

    February 24, 2020 Cash On Delivery! Stunning Three-Pointer from Half Court Puts Ghosts into Passaic County Tournament Final Eastside will face Kennedy on Saturday It was number three, Joshua Cash, whose three points at the buzzer put the Eastside Ghosts over the top for a win over Paterson Charter School 59-56 in the Passaic County Tournament semifinals on Saturday. “Definitely the biggest shot of my life,” Cash said to sportswriter Darren Cooper of The Record. “I knew once we got the rebound, they would all retreat and once I got across half court, that’s when they came at me. I had enough time to get off a shot and I hit it.” Cooper reported that Cash’s game-winning shot quickly became known as “Cash on Delivery” among the many fans who packed the gymnasium at the Kennedy Education Complex. A jubilant Eastside Coach Marquise Webb embraced Cash after the team’s victory as fans celebrated on the hardwood. Later Saturday, the top-seeded Kennedy Knights beat Passaic 63-52. The two teams will face off against each other in the tournament final on Saturday, Feb. 29, at noon at Wayne Valley High School.
