As promised,
we’ll be short and post only when there’s news to share.
NUTLEY SNAPSHOTS - In
Plain View
During
the summer Anthony Buccino completed his second photo book, NUTLEY SNAPSHOTS In Plain View. Volume one in a series of photo collections
to showcase the all-around beauty and some of the history of the northern New
Jersey township of Nutley. This book is available only in print. Nutley
Snapshots is Buccino’s sixth Nutley book.
Voices of Nutley
Anthony Buccino, Preserving Nutley’s Place in History, an interview, was published in the Voices of
Nutley site by NutleyKia.
Walk and Talk with the Author
Anthony
Buccino led the successful Walk & Talk through Nutley parks in July. Nearly
two dozen walkers joined him for a refreshing walk from the pre-opening Nutley
Farmers Market through Nutley parks along the Third River to Kingsland Park and
back while Anthony discussed Nutley history, the Nutley Sons Honor Roll, and growing up near these parks in the 1960s. Many of the
views along the walk revisit photos in NUTLEY SNAPSHOTS.
Did
you know Buccino created and maintained web sites for Nutley
Historical Society and the Kingsland Manor for more than a dozen years? That helped him
talk history on the Walk and Talk.
Belleville Sons Honor Roll
July
wrapped up our individual sign dedications to the Belleville servicemen who
died while in service. We had great turnouts from family and friends of these
soldiers and sailor: Edward J. Zuczek; Raymond DeLuca; Giavanni Bocchino; Nicholas
Del Grosso; and Frank H. Metzler. At these events, many family members present
additional information, news clippings and family photos of the servicemen. We
try to include this new information when we update our Belleville Sons web site
and the print and ebook editions Belleville Sons Honor Roll.
The
Belleville and Nutley sons began more than 15 years ago, to identify and
remember the fallen soldiers from Belleville and Nutley, N.J., is having
long-term effects. In nearly two years, Belleville has dedicated more than
two dozen street signs to
fallen soldiers from the Civil War, World War I, World War II, Vietnam War and
the Cold War. Our thanks for all their help and support with the dedications go
out to Belleville Historical Society President Michael Perrone, the group’s
members, local veterans groups, Belleville Councilman Kevin Kennedy and
Belleville Board of Ed trustee Tom Grolimond.
Book Projects
Earlier
this summer, Anthony Buccino issued the print edition of Jersey City Snapshots. The ebook was first published in 2012.
Anthony
is juggling book projects. Besides updating both Sons books, research continues
on Nutley Notables Volume 2, the follow up to Nutley Notables. Another secret project involves research into murder, mayhem
and major crime in a safe Jersey town. And, in the meantime, Buccino is
curating photos for Snapshots volume two.
Social Media
Anthony
continues to shoot photographs around town during his walks and on field trips.
There’s a Facebook page for that, where he’s posted more than
1,000 photos in the past year. He also created a Facebook group for Nutley photos, old and new. He also is the admin at You
Know You’re From Belleville
and You Know You’re From Nutley and other groups.
