Vince Lombardi Hackettstown?

I was recently reading "When Pride Still Mattered," a biography on the great Vince Lombardi. In one of the early chapters, it was mentioned that, "(Lombardi) took his (players) out to Hackettstown, New Jersey, for a two-week training camp and installed a new offense, merging the Notre Dame box with a version of the T formation."

I tried to do a Google search and got no hits. Does anyone know about this? Or has anyone been told a story about the time Vince Lombardi came to town for a football camp? This seems like a pretty big deal, especially the fact... More

Disturbing email from Brightspeed

I received an E mail from Brightspeed stating that in three days they're debiting my account for this months bill. I never authorized them to do so as I always have paid by check. I would think it would be illegal to just debit an account without permission. I will try to contact them tomorrow but just wondered if anyone else received the same E mail. Maybe this is some sort of scam but it looks like it came right from Brightspeed.

Now, I have a cat dying of cancer. Lost four other cats over that span, but I do not believe any of them died of cancer. Apparently, Warren County is near the top for cancer deaths among humans in the state, which surprises me. So, do we have a problem with cancer in this area, or am I just angry due... More

Memorial Day

I read the recent the thread lamenting the reduced posts on H'town Life. So here is my first new post (there will be more).
The Memorial Day parade has been an institution in town for well over a century. While the more recent St. Patrick's Day parade is a fun event, it seems to have overshadowed the Memorial Day parade and I have witnessed a dwindling attendance and participation in the latter.
I invite you to do some research and learn the origin and true meaning of Memorial... More

Question about the group

Is this the same forum where we all used to meet up for drinks and such. I recognize some names. And I can't remember my handle as it has been since around 2007.
