Websites bring Nutley History to life

By Hasime Kukaj

NOTE: Funny thing about when this piece ran, my web sites went down when my host shutdown without notice. By the time I relocated everything, all the buzz, if any, had gone.

Buccino Publishes Nutley Notables Profile Collection

A New Book for Nutley History Lovers 

Nutley Notables: The Men and Women Who Made a Memorable Impact on Our Home Town, Nutley, New Jersey 

by Anthony Buccino

Nutley writer and author Anthony Buccino has published Nutley Notables, the Men and Women Who Made a Memorable Impact on Our Home Town, Nutley, New Jersey. 

Buccino published more than fifteen books including four essay collections, three military history books and seven full-length poetry collections.  He has been called ' “New Jersey’s ‘Garrison Keillor” or something to that effect.’ His poem  At The Vet has been nominated for the Pushcart Prize.

The township of Nutley, New Jersey, has accumulated a wealth of celebrated and eccentric people who over-shadowed the salt-of-the-earth folks who lived here, raised their families and built the town into the place that Norman Rockwell only dreamed of illustrating for the cover of the  Saturday Evening Post. This new book profile nearly 200 townsfolks,  some you may know and many you will not forget.

Nutley History Series Begins

• Free Weekly Program for Students and Adults
 NUTLEY, N.J. -- The first session of a new historical program "Celebrating America, Celebrating Nutley" begins Tuesday, Aug. 5, at 10:30 a.m. in the Public Affairs Building. Anthony Buccino of the Nutley Historical Society will present the opening session.

Anthony's World is Back in Business

Since at least  mid-September certain of our web sites have been down or inaccessible or both. In the last few weeks a few more of our web sites went down.

Turned out The Nutley Sun did a great story on web sites preserving local history and included information about our sites Old Nutley and Nutley Sons Honor Roll. That's about the time we noticed the pages were gone. Disappeared. Invisible.

One of many entertaining books you should own.

Also disappeared were Anthony's World, Uncle Tonoose and Travels With Tonoose, and there was no way to get them back, no way to contact the web host and yada, yada, yada.

Well, finally, this past week or so, we were able to relocate and recapture most of the sites. It doesn't look like Uncle Tonoose and Travels with Tonoose will be back any time soon.

You'll still have the archives at Uncle Tonoose the blog. You can waste a lot of time enjoying years worth of posts there.

So, we're glad that Anthony's World is back, along with Old Nutley and Nutley Sons Honor Roll. Please have patience as we wade our way through thousands of pages checking links and looking for photos that didn't get posted along with the pages.

Meanwhile, if you'd like to support the web sites, please buy a book or two for yourself and a few as gifts - thanks.

Bringing Nutley history to life

We want to thank The Nutley Sun for including our OldNutley web site in a story about preserving the town's history. 

The Old Nutley web site crashed the day the story ran. We've included the link in the event we can get it up and running again.
