  • Peterstown NJ October 2014
    PRICELESS ISSUE NO. 96 OCT/NOV 14 Published by Joe Renna for the Sons of Peterstown Sports Club THE FELLOWSHIP OF KINDRED MINDS he Peterstown community mourns the passing of Rusty Harris. A look at his life Treveals the essence of what makes the community so special. His love of family and devotion to the church was balanced by a zest for life and sports. Unique was the bond he had with friends, where the welfare of others was put above his own. The Baby Boomers developed in the Me Generation, self-absorbed and independent. Not so for the Boomers of Peterstown, in fact, quite the opposite. Caring and relying on others was typical of the immigrant population and first generation Americans in the first half of the 20th century. It was a necessity for survival in a sometimes hostile environment. It was no different in Peterstown, The Burg, a tight knit Italian Neighborhood in Elizabeth, New Jersey. It was one of the communities defining attributes. The Baby Boomers of Peterstown took the concept of unity that their parents and grandparents taught them to a greater level, bucking the trend in all other segments of society. The youth of the new millennium could not comprehend the code the guys and gals from the Burg lived by, a value system that puts others above yourself. Rusty Harris epitomizes those values and the greatest example of (above, l-r) Debbie and Russell Harris his unselfish concern for his friend came in the final years of his life. were married on November 17, 1973.

  • Elizabeth New•Jersey Community & Business Resource Guide
    ELIZABETH New•Jersey COMMUNITY & BUSINESS RESOURCE GUIDE Greater elizabeth Chamber of Commer Ce : elizabethC hamber.Com STAY A WHILE When most think of “tourist destinations”, white sandy beaches or snow covered mountains with idyllic landscape or even major metropolis cities are usually what come to mind. But if you take a few turns off the beaten path…you’ll discover something much more interesting and refreshingly unique. Elizabeth, NJ from first glance, doesn’t seem like a common tourist destination. However, Group Tour Readers Choice Awards rec- ognized Elizabeth as one of Top 5 Emerging Destinations in America back in 2016. More recently in 2018 Successful Meetings (a national meeting planner publication), awarded Elizabeth, NJ as one of its TOP 10 Meetings Destinations of the NorthEast. Even the New Jersey Travel & Tourism Industry Association is looking to Elizabeth as an ideal model for the future of tourism trends in the state. Being awarded two Tourism Excellence Awards, one for digital outreach and the other for its partnerships, Elizabeth really sets the precedence as New Jersey’s Newest Destination. When taking a deeper look at Elizabeth, you’ll discover that it has all of the elements to create a truly unique and memorable travel experience. Travel elements vary from diverse cultural dining cuisine, high-end outlet shopping, to authentic American history, trending nightlife, and amazing hotels to rest at in between all of the activities! Not to mention, Elizabeth is only 30 minutes outside of New York City, so travelers are able to get two destinations for essentially the price of one! How can a traveler beat that offer? During the course of three years that the Elizabeth tourism initiative has been active, the perspective of the traditional “tourist des- tination” has evolved.

  • SCISCIONE in ONE of a THOUSAND PICTURES Hotographer Paul Fusco Took Over a Thousand Photos of the Mourners Who Lined Pthe Tracks of Robert Kennedy’S Funeral Train
    PRICELESS ISSUE NO. 76 JUN/JUL 11 Published by Joe Renna for the Sons of Peterstown Sports Club SCISCIONE IN ONE OF A THOUSAND PICTURES hotographer Paul Fusco took over a thousand photos of the mourners who lined Pthe tracks of Robert Kennedy’s funeral train. Elizabeth Police officer Joe Sciscione and daughter Eileen appeared on an HBO documentary to reflect on the tragedy that occurred as the train passed through the Elizabeth, NJ station when two people died. The body of Robert Kennedy was taken by train from his funeral at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York to Arlington National Cemetery, Washington, DC. The train route was lined with hundreds of thousands of people, packed along the track in urban hubs and dotted long the rural settings. For the photojournalist Paul Fusco, who was on board, the scene was breathtaking and he began shooting as he left the tunnel leaving New York and kept shooting for the length of eight-hour journey. Fusco’s work resulted in a portfolio of over one thousand pictures. HBO has produced a documentary of the event featuring interviews with people who appeared in the photos. The subjects were just faces in a crowd that stretched 225 miles forty three years ago but producer Jennifer Stoddart found dozens of them to reflect on that solemn day. The photos taken as the train passed shows the platforms on both sides of the tracks packed (above) Paul Fusco’s photo of the Elizabeth with onlookers. The crowd overflowed into the parking lots.
