Fred T. Rossi will be the guest speaker at the Tewksbury Historical
Society Annual Meeting on Sunday, January 15, at the Zion Lutheran
Church Christian Education Building, 16 Miller Avenue in Oldwick,
08858, at 1:00 pm. Election of officers and the 2022 Year End Financial Report
will take place. The meeting is open to the public. Refreshments will be served.
Rossi, a thirty-year veteran journalist and writer, will discuss
interesting stories that reflect much of New Jersey's little-known
history: How did the teenage Bruce Springsteen get his band into a recording
studio? How did Garret Hobart of Paterson almost become President of the USA?
How did Charles Adams of Westfield imagine his ghoulish cartoon creations?
These are just a few of the anecdotes found in his book, "Jersey Stories:
Stories you may not have heard about people and events in New
Jersey History", which is in its third printing. According to Rossi, the book is
a "kind of Jersey-centric history book". The talk will be entertaining for
everyone and will include history, politics, entertainment, lots of trivia and plenty
of interesting characters and events.
Rossi has his own interesting connection to Jersey Trivia. His great,
great, great, great, great, great grand-father, Gen. Nathan Head, was a colonel
in the rebel militia when he arrested William Franklin, Royal Governor of New
Jersey and son of Benjamin Franklin, for treason at the Proprietary House in Perth
Amboy on June 17, 1776, just before the Constitutional Convention was to convene
in Philadelphia. Rossi is currently a resident of Scotch Plains.
In the event of inclement weather, the meeting will be cancelled.
