Ah, Christmas memories! This one is from 1961 and features a young Chef Jimbo Crowley, his ever-smiling little sister Deborah Ann and his brother John Francis, the future webmaster (always a model of decorum). This was taken at out home at 136 N. Fourth St. Merry Christmas, everybody.

I could SWEAR that is Jerry Lewis in the photo. Lady.......OH Lady!

Great picture, John. Looks like even then you were trying to figure out how to work that camera. I sympathize with your sister, I had "three" older brothers, I must have cried a lot too.. "Merry Christmas, and Thanks for the Memories."

I think she was crying because there was too much starch in that collar!

Strong before our birth are the Sons of the Garden State.

I was hoping for a picture of Orange street
all snow covered, but I'll settle for this
great shot from the past. Merry Christmas everybody.

I have one brother that looks like Ricky Ricardo and the other thinks he is Jerry Lewis. No wonder I cried a lot as a child.

PS- I really hated that dress.

Jim, did you see that? Our sister made a post! A Christmas miracle! God bless us, every one!

And this being the same kind of year
for the "Bailey Saving and Loan". Did another
angel just get his wings?

ALL TOGETHER NOW:

O COMMMMMMMMMMMME ALL YEEEE FAITHFULLLLLL
JOYFULLLLL AND TRIUMPH...................

I heard bells and for some reason I logged on...it's a xmas miracle...While I'm on... Merry Xmas Everybody...sorry I could not make it last Friday...promise next year...Jimbo

OMG that dress. I remember the types well. All itchey and stiff around the collars with the crinoline skirts. Swished when we toddled. My mother used to heavily starch mine. When I sat down the front bopped up so I had to hold my hands on my lap to lay it down. No wonder you were crying. I did regularly too :)

Norman "Jackie" Schultz SRL '61 sitting alone this Christmas morning at dunkin Donuts.
No family, No close friends. Just memories of Christmas past at 110 Fourth Street.

No presents for Jackie. How asd. I wonder how many others are alone at Christmas? .

Sorry to hear that about Norman. There's a song" Nobody ought to be alone at Christmas" I've heard it sung by Holiday Express. How about making Norman an Honorary guest next year at the Christmas party? It may not make up for a lonely Christmas, but at least he'll have good memories of a Christmas party held in his honor, or at least as a favorite attendee. Hopefully all of our other Orange St. friends have had a very Merry Christmas, had their bellies filled, drank enough eggnog to last until next year, and all arrive home safely, to enjoy the New Year.

I just thought of this great moment in time for
the Crowley's. This is a memory to cherish. Mr C
must have gotten a new camera that year.
