Anthony's World - Summer 2017

Summer 2017

1.    Belleville Sons Honor Roll
July wraps up our individual sign dedications to the Belleville servicemen who died while in service. Please join us at one or both of these scheduled events in Belleville, N.J:

JULY 8, 2017
Edward J. Zuczek, 11 a.m., Gless Ave. at Meacham St., Killed in Peacetime; 
Raymond DeLuca, 11:30 a.m., Meacham St. at Memphis Ave., KIA Vietnam.

JULY 15, 2017
Giavanni Bocchino, 10 a.m., Lake St., KIA WWII; 
Nicholas Del Grosso, 10:30 a.m., Mt. Prospect Ave. at Belleville Ave., KIA WWII; 
Frank H. Metzler, 11 a.m., Joralemon St. at Reservoir Place, KIA WWII

The project that began more than 15 years ago, to identify and remember the fallen soldiers from Belleville, 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 research continues as we learn more about these Belleville Sons from their families at street sign dedications. Order your updated Belleville Sons Honor Roll.

2.   Walk and Talk with the Author
Sunday, 8:30 a.m., Aug. 20, 2017 – Anthony will lead the Walk & Talk through Nutley parks. 

Enjoy a refreshing walk from the pre-opening Nutley Farmers Market through Nutley parks along the Third River to Kingsland Park and back while Anthony discusses Nutley history, the Nutley Sons Honor Roll, and growing up near these parks in the 1960s and the good old days he’s written about in Greetings From Belleville, and his other books. Bring along your copies for him to sign. Some books will be available for purchase on site.

3.    Nutley Sons Honor Roll
Our research continues on 140 fallen Nutley Sons. Check out the latest in edition of Nutley Sons Honor Roll.

4.    Book Projects
Anthony is juggling book projects. One project is Nutley Notables Volume 2, the follow up to Nutley Notables. Another project involves research into murder, mayhem and major crime in a safe Jersey town.

5.    Other Stuff
Anthony continues to shoot photographs around town during his walks. There’s a Facebook page for that. He also created a Facebook group for Nutley photos, old and new. He also moderates Belleville and Nutley groups.

Well, that’s it for this issue of Anthony’s World Update. Follow Anthony’s World on Facebook and Twitter. For anyone who’s read this far, check out this page of links where you can read many of Anthony’s online pieces.
