This is the 11th year that Expressive Arts 4-H has celebrated our 4-Hers’ creativity at the annual Rutgers Day celebration. Deadline for submitting registration forms to my office is April 20th. 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. Or perhaps they wish to perform a dance, song, magic, skit, or puppet show. 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 FOR THE RUTGERS ORAL HISTORY ARCHIVES WORLD WAR II * KOREAN WAR * VIETNAM WAR * COLD WAR INTERVIEW CONDUCTED BY SANDRA STEWART HOLYOAK and SARAH MORRISON NEW BRUNSWICK, NEW JERSEY SEPTEMBER 23, 2009 TRANSCRIPT BY DOMINGO DUARTE Sarah Morrison: This begins an interview with 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.
