PRESIDENT’S
MESSAGE
By Harry Ivory
These are exciting times for Holiday Village, a
so called changing of the guards, when senior residents are stepping down and the younger residents are filling in. We are looking to the future with
new ideas. Without new ideas and residents, the
community could die on the vine. We need a new
generation to step up, and its beginning to happen
for the future of Holiday Village.
Renee Dorst has stepped down as chairperson
for the Health and Welfare Committee. However,
on the bright side, other residents have voiced their
interest. The BOT will be interviewing to fill Renee’s
responsibilities as chairperson. Hopefully, by the
time you read this Villager, that position will be
filled. Renee has indicated that she is available to
assist in the transition period. Renee scheduled
some outstanding programs for residents, and she
will be missed.
Art Dorst has given his letter of resignation to
the BOT as editor in chief of the Holiday Villager.
Art took on the responsibility some 12 years
ago when the paper needed new blood, younger
ideas and strong leadership. When he took over
the Villager our budget financed the printing. He
turned it around to a self supporting publication.
This has saved the community a considerable
amount of money, for which we are grateful. Thank
you Art for a tremendous 12 years of accomplishments for the residents of Holiday Village. Frank
Marshall has accepted the position as editor. Art
highly recommended Frank for the position.
Neighborhood Watch – Our current
Neighborhood Watch force needs to be increased.
It’s not to say that current personnel are getting too
old – it’s time that younger residents step up to help
keep Holiday Village safe. On July 19th, Mt. Laurel
Police Dept. held a Neighborhood Watch orientation Session. To update you on the latest information, another break-in has been reported. It’s your
community; we need your help.
Dead Trees and Bushes – If you trim your bushes and trees and put them at curbside, that is only
half of the job – the next step is to call the Public
Works Dept. at 234-2070 to schedule a pick-up. The
township does not drive around looking for work –
you need to inform them that foliage is at the curb.
New Appointments to the BOT – Al Bove has
been appointed to the BOT. Al ran during the April
election but failed to receive sufficient votes, putting
him next on the candidates list that the BOT
reviews for replacements. Welcome aboard Al
Bove.
Pat Asher was nominated to fill the second position,
to fill the unexpired term of Carol Carmany. Pat has
considerable Board experience and has served on
the Finance Committee for five years. Welcome
aboard Pat; the community is looking forward to
your experience as a Board member.
Township Meeting with Jennifer Blumenthal
and Director of Public Works Bruce Basim. We
discussed the pot hole situation in Holiday Village.
Thanks to the township for repairing the holes.
Worn street signs are being replaced, and sign
poles are being painted. The curbs broken by
snow plows are being repaired, and, we have
asked the township for a list of its events to post on
our outside bulletin board at the Clubhouse porch.
Moving into the future with “Solar”. To show
our commitment to reducing our dependency on
foreign oil, Catherine and I have contracted to have
solar panels installed on our roof. This is a first for
our community. I hope others in Holiday Village will
join us in going solar. By the time you read this,
hopefully our solar system will be in full operation.
If you drive by our house, you cannot see the panels from Holiday Blvd. You will need to drive down
Whitestone Court to see them.
We are really excited about this adventure and
can’t wait to see it in full operation. It’s not as
expensive as I expected it to be; there are many
monetary incentives from the federal and state governments, reducing the original cost of some
$50,000 considerably. The company installing our
system has three types of programs to help with the
cost of installation. If you are interested, please feel
free to visit at 2 Whitestone Court.
Did you know that it takes more facial muscles
to frown than it does to smile – so smile more and
enjoy the rest of your life – it’s later than you think.

Condo Corner
By Betty Hoffman
“Look for a lovely thing and you will find it.”
Living in Holiday Village is a lovely thing. Our community has so much to offer, if you are a social person or even if you’re not....we have a great
Clubhouse with many activities. If you like to swim
we have a beautiful pool and lounging area, if you
just like peace and quiet we have that also. Looks
like we have it all. So just take advantage of it and
get out there and enjoy your pleasant surroundings.
Lawn Care: Looking pretty good! I have had several compliments concerning our common
grounds...a non ending project. The shrubs and
trees just won't stop growing! If you are wondering
when our landscapers will replace the dead bush
near your condo – it is on the agenda. L&S lawnman will continue to work with us to replace these
bushes. Weather conditions are a large factor. If
we have missed a tree limb that is hanging or a
bush that needs replacing in your area, please call
me @ 778-1997.
Property Inspections: There are 136 condominiums within the community for which rules and regulations are established to provide some aesthetic
uniformity to the buildings and surrounding areas.
Management is responsible for ensuring that the
exterior of the condominium association is maintained is a manner that provides visual harmony
and soundness of repair throughout the communi-

ty, During the latest inspection, it was noted that
some us have taken the liberty to "decorate" the
outside of their unit without proper approval. Some
of these decorations are: artificial flowers, too
many chairs on patios, empty planters on decks,
mulch beds, figurines of all styles and types on
patios and in flower beds. Please keep in mind that
although you may think these articles are attractive, the bottom line is, they are not allowed, without prior consent being given..
Pets: We love our pets, however we must abide
by the rules stated in our manual and Township
law...all pets must be on a leash and you must
clean up after them! Please curb your dog, that
means do not use our green lawns...walk them to
the berm. It’s all in the training! We need you to
do your part in order to maintain our beautiful lawns
and common grounds.
Final Thoughts: Are you having a good summer?
Is it hot enough for you? Just remember that cold
winter we just can't seem to put behind us! Most of
all, let’s remember our neighbors and dear friends
that may be experiencing some health issues at
this time. We wish them restored health. Thanks
to all our volunteers for the great job they do for our
community. How does a luncheon sound? Keep
the date open - Thursday, Sept. 15. Further details
will follow. Have a good summer and be well.
Lost Items
at CLubhouse
The office has advised us that there are a
number of items in the “Lost and Found” box
at the Clubhouse. They include sunglasses,
regular glasses, gloves, hats, keys, etc. If
you think you might have left something at
the clubhouse, come in and take a look.

Elise Magri, Chairpersons
There are many features here in Holiday Village that
makes it a very attractive community. Just look around.
Some of us who haven’t been here from the very beginning seldom think about what the community may have
looked like back then. As with any new construction, as
years passed additional shrubbery was added by the
homeowner who just enhanced the beauty of their homes
and surroundings.
Some 26 years later, we can see that there have been a
lot of changes in the landscaping of our homes which
although similar are often landscaped very differently from
each other. Over the years, many mature bushes and
trees have had to be removed and replaced. Something
to keep in mind when replacing shrubs and trees, certain
types of shrubbery as well as trees do require pruning and
cutting to keep their beauty so it is really important to think
about your selection carefully if you are looking for low
maintenance.
"That’s the thing about a human life –
there’s no control group, no way to ever know
how any of us would
have turned out if any variables had been
changed."
— Elizabeth Gilbert
When preparing for your new landscape additions, keep in
mind an important safety note: high shrubbery could
become a hiding place for intruders. Instead of shrubs that
grow higher than four to six feet near windows, planting of
decorative low and slow growing shrubs below the windows can help to improve the beauty of the house in addition to eliminating any hiding places. Also, it’s best to keep
the limbs of trees about four to six feet from the ground to
further eliminate hiding places.
For safety sake, get to know your neighbors. Good neighbors can be relied on in times of emergency or crisis. If
something is wrong, they will dial 911 for you. In dire situations, good neighbors will even offer to drive you to the
hospital or help put out a fire.
Just ask one neighbor in particular, who thanks the man
who’s been his neighbor for the past 10 years for saving
his life during a recent fire. As for Bob Taylor, his neighbor,
his response is: “It’s just what anyone would do if it happened to them.” In our small community, we really do have
to stick together.

chAT wITh volUNTEERS
In an effort to recognize all volunteers, we continue
with the Distribution Group, a really important part
of our Communication System in Holiday Village. This
team began for the Sept/Oct Edition of 1988. Until
then, The Villager was mailed six times per year. We
recognized that there were many villagers walking,
especially those on the Neighborhood Watch
so…”How about deliver as you walk?” Bulk mail
postage now, would be 12 times a year equaling
approximately $5,000 per year. Volunteers have
saved many $$!
Initially, papers had to be picked up at printer, folded,
stapled and labeled by a group then divided into
areas by Bea Moser [she and Len moved here Apr
’87.] and me; then about 2001 Dot Nemeth took over.
At the present time Distribution Mgrs. are Sandy
Keiss and Lucy MacPherson, both on The Villager
staff.
Sandy Keiss, moved here Nov ‘87 and has been on
this team about four years as well as being a columnist and a flag captain. Sandy also volunteers at
Cherry Hill Food Outreach weekly.
Lucy MacPherson and husband Robert moved here
Sept 2000. She has delivered off and on for five
years and been co-manager three years. She is also
a contributor with the Blanketeers group.
The following is a list of the Distribution Group, to
houses there are 23 distributors and for Condos
there are six. May I introduce to you alphabetically
those who deliver The Villager every month?
Barbara Boecklen & Charles, moved to HV in Feb.

Ann is active volunteering for many worthy causes
here as well as outside the village.
We should especially appreciate these volunteers
as they distribute this newsletter in all kinds of
weather – snow/ice/heat/cold/rain while saving us
much postage money! The words, “Thank You,”
pales in comparison to their contribution.
Anne Rourke, HV in Nov ’86; has been delivering

Committees; pool monitor and continues on the Linen
Committee of Lady of Good Counsel church in
Moorestown [that’s washing and ironing the linens

Boardwalk in 1941 after the New York World’s Fair
ended a two-year run.
FRoM RAbbITS To RIchES
By Don Rosser
For several centuries, a desolate barrier island just off the southern
shore of New York City was known only
for its rampant rabbits. Finally, a clamshell bridge accessed the place, and it
became a world-famous summer
resort.
Because discoverer Henry Hudson sailed for the
Dutch, the island was originally part of the colony of
New Amsterdam. A 1639 map identified the isle as
Conyne Eylandt. Today, Coney Island’s beach extends
from the gated community of Sea Gate for five miles
to Oriental Point, surrounded by Coney Creek,
Gravesend Bay, Lower New York Bay, the Atlantic
Ocean, and Sheepshead Bay.
The coneys cavorted unmolested until 1829, when
a developer built the causeway of clam shells over
mud flats on Coney Creek, complete with a toll house.
He also built the Coney Island Hotel.
Because of the long trip through Brooklyn, development was slow until the mid 1860s, when a streetcar
line reached the causeway. After the Brooklyn Bridge
opened in 1883, day-tripping by Manhattanites
increased sharply. Barrooms, bordellos, and the
boardwalk soon arrived, along with horse racing and
prize fights.
John Jeffries won the world’s heavyweight title there in 1899 from J.J. Fitzsimmons. The
Preakness was run for 15 years at the Gravesend
track.
However, the golden age didn’t arrive until the elevated Sea Beach rail line opened in 1915. On the
other side of Brooklyn, the Brighton Line was finished
soon thereafter.
Manhattanites could now reach
Brooklyn beaches in under an hour for a nickel. Both
lines ended at the Coney Island- Stilwell Ave. station,
the largest elevated train terminal in North America.
Sermonizing from many pulpits and the advent of
family vacations doomed the bordellos. Instead,
Coney Island became famous for its rides and amusement parks. The first carousel started whirling in 1876
at five cents a ride, the first scenic railway in 1884. The
Wonder Wheel -- 150 feet high with gondola seating for
144 -- debuted in 1920, and in 1925 came the six-storyhigh roller coasters, the Thunderbolt, Tornado, and
Cyclone. The 190-foot Parachute Jump moved to the
The splashy amusement park, Dreamland, opened
in 1901 with rides, a popcorn stand run by Marie Dressler,
and a one-armed lion tamer. A million new-fangled
electric light bulbs outlined the property. Dreamland
lasted until 1911, burning to the ground when one of
the bulbs exploded. An escaped lion added to the
excitement until a cop put 24 bullets into its head.
Luna Park, with its Shoot The Chutes boat ride,
reigned from 1903 until a third fire destroyed the place
in 1946. Apartment buildings now grace the site.
Steeplechase, with wooden horses racing on downhill
rails, opened in 1897, survived a 1907 fire, and
endured through 1964. A minor-league baseball stadium now occupies the site. Astroland, with 22 adult
rides, opened in 1962, but feuding owners called it
quits in 2008.
Other Coney landmarks included Feltman’s
Restaurant, ( 1874-1946) with singing waiters like
Jimmy Durante , a Beer Garden, and its culinary
invention, the hot dog, which sold for 10 cents, and
Nathan’s Stand, opened in 1916 and selling red hots
to this day, originally for a nickel.
Coney’s popularity dwindled after World War 11. Up
to a million day-trippers still fill the beach on summer
weekends, but most go home by sunset. With the
spread of cars and freeways, families vacation elsewhere.
The abandoned Thunderbolt (1925-1983)was
demolished in 2000 because it blocked someone’s
view. The Tornado was taken down in 1977, along with
the tiny domicile under it -- the shaky boyhood home of
Woody Allen in his film Annie Hall. The Parachute
Jump is now a landmark, not a thrill. Also gone are
most of the hotels and bathhouses.
Various schemes for revival have surfaced. The city
moved its famous aquarium from Manhattan’s Battery
to Coney Island in 1957, but electric eels lacked the
appeal of belly dancers. The city built 30 high-rise
apartment buildings for low-income families, but that
produced gang wars. Casinos were proposed but
never constructed. The latest hope was to stage the
2012 Olympics at Coney venues, but New York failed
to win the bid.
– 10 –
There’s now a mini Luna Park, which opened in
2010, and a new Dreamland has replaced Astroland.
Coney still has bumper cars; an annual film festival; the
Brooklyn Cyclones, a farm team for the N.Y. Mets; a surf
romp on New Year’s Day for ”polar bears;” and the annual float-filled Mermaid Parade.
The Wonderwheel still turns, and the Cyclone – with
its 60-degree drop -- still makes grown men scream. It’s
one of the oldest wooden roller coasters still operating,
but it’s busting many budgets. When it opened in 1925,
the ticket was 25 cents. Now it’s $8.
Coney Island today has over 51,000 permanent residents. They can boast that their Brooklyn enclave is still
more famous than the Coney Island in Cincinnati, and
even the one in Ireland. But -- as with the rabbits - the
magic is long gone.
**************************
A LITTLE OFF CENTER
Remember, please that I am just the
messenger; the recent sign at
Barrington Lumber Yard reads:
“Women who seek to be equal to men lack
ambition.” [I cannot resist sharing.]
Here’s another dream sequence that I have to share.
Perhaps, because of having been on a Gluten Free
diet, I awakened dreaming of bread - rye – marbleized,
unseeded; pumpernickel; whole wheat. I’ve seen how
bread is baked, and pretzels are made but, I was also
wondering how crackers are made? Guess I have to
check it out on the Internet, but I’ll wait until I’m sure
they’re back on my intake list.
By the way, the “Singles Committee” photo albums
from 2003 to ’07 have been located by our great
Maintenance guy, Rich. I’ve been wondering if there
are any gals or guys interested in having this activity
begin again. I have the names of a few singles who are
interested; if anyone would like to revive this form of
camaraderie here in Holiday Village, let me know. If
you are interested in seeing the albums, be in touch for
those also. My phone # is at front of this paper as well
as in the Vilager Directory.
We must inform you of the recent passing of Russell
Conner and Lillian Hortz. Our sincere condolences to
Russell’s wife Mary, and Lillian’s daughter Beverly
Mering, as well as family, neighbors, and friends. They
will be missed.
Holiday Village experienced a traumatic event June
11th with the house fire on Fairfax Drive. We are so
thankful that there was no physical damage to any of
the persons involved. However the mental trauma has
to be tremendous for all. We are extremely thankful to
Bob Taylor and his remarkable quick actions that
saved at the least two lives! [Please read “Heroes In
Our Midst” in this edition.]

It is important for me to mention what a loss it is to
have Renee Dorst retire as chair for the hard working
Health & Welfare Committee. This group has been at
it for many years. Makes me wonder if the article
expressing our appreciation of how much they do, [that
I wrote] is what made them realize they should be
tired! Who is going to step up to take over? Please
recognize we now need to revive several committees:
Health & Welfare; Neighborhood Watch and Singles.
On the other hand, we are thankful to see that Frank
Marshall will be working with Artie Dorst as Co-Editors
of The Villager, until Frank is comfortable to take full
reins. Then Artie and Renee will be in full retirement
following many years of selfless dedication. Thanks so
much!
A reminder to all Villagers: Please be sure that all
accesses to your property are locked properly at all
times. That means - the windows, doors, etc. If you
have alarms, use them! We really need our
Neighborhood Watch to again become more active.
We do not want to be seen as an easily accessible
area for robbery.
To all residents who seem to be having more illnesses
return, are going for rehabilitation, visiting more doctors, feeling more ailments - cheer up you are not
alone! It seems the older we get, just waking up in the
morning is a WOW, and positioning yourself to remove
your body from the bed is a real achievement. So say,
“Thank you God” and put a smile on your face so that
whoever sees you has to think – “What has she/he
been up to?” Take care of yourselves!

FISh TAlES
By Mariann Hornlein
The trip back from Williamsburg was
smooth and without incident. However,
another trip was not so lucky. In 1990, Eddie and I were
asked to crew a 40-foot sailboat in the Annapolis-Bermuda
race. Unfortunately, the race started while school was still
in session, so Ed became the navigator-cook on the way
over, and I flew over and cooked on the way back. I arrived
in Bermuda late in the day and went straight to my B&B
and to bed. When I woke up the next morning, I found the
B&B filled with families of racers, and no one was talking
about the winners. Instead, everyone was talking about the
last boat in, Ba-Su-J, my husband’s boat. I heard comments like “There were only three of them” (the average
boat had 10-15 crew), they are all old men!” (The average
age on the other boats was 30, on Ed’s 59.) “They didn’t
have any electronics for the whole trip!” This is the story of
that trip.
Originally, Ba-Su-J had a crew of four. Ed at 56 was the
youngest. The other three were 58, 60, and 64 (the owner
and captain). They arrived at Annapolis on Friday night,
spent Saturday in various briefings and getting settled
aboard, then left early Sunday morning. The day was
sunny, breezy, and they had a wonderful sail. That night
was sort of scary, because they were in a heavily traveled
shipping area, but Ed said the comments of the commercial ship captains about the “windwalkers” were hilarious.
They reached the entrance to the Chesapeake Bay about
7 a.m. and entered the Atlantic Ocean. They sailed
smoothly for about five miles when the 58 year-old
announced in a shaky voice. “I can’t do this. I just can’t. Put
me on a boat going back. I just can’t do this!”
Can’t do this!!! Put him on a boat going back—they were
all going towards Bermuda, and a naval destroyer would
not stop to take someone to Norfolk Naval Base because
he was freaking out! And, he was. Ed said he was white as
a sheet and shaking. So, they did the only thing they could.
They turned back and headed for Deep Creek, a marina
just inside the Bay entrance. They never actually stopped
the boat. They got all of his belongings together, radioed
ahead, slowed down and while one steered the other two
helped him ashore into the hands of the waiting people,
threw his bags onto the dock, and they took off. Of course,
they now had no chance of winning, or even coming in
near the top. This escapade had cost them over five hours,
disastrous in a race.
The first two days went great. The weather was good and
when they hit the Gulf Stream, the temperature went up
and they started wearing lightweight cotton pajamas for
clothes. Then---the morning of the third day, they lost all of
their electronics! In 1990, LORAN was the chief method of
navigating, with GPS in its infant stage for civilian use. The
loss of their electronics essentially meant the only way
they had of finding Bermuda was by dead reckoning, using
the stars and, when they got close, Radio Direction Finder.
Assuming they got close enough to use it! Bermuda is a
mighty small island in a very big ocean. They decided to
continue and Ed pored over his charts.
Maps, or charts as they are called for use on water, show
currents, their direction and speed. In the Gulf Stream,
some of these currents, composed of cold water mixing
with the warmer water, swirl and form “cold-water eddies,”
which became Ed’s nickname. He tracked these eddies
and used them, along with his knowledge of the stars, to
navigate, and four days later they were able to locate
Bermuda on the RDF, directly in front of them! They were
the last boat to arrive at the Bermuda Yacht Club, and
found that the winning boat was “Cheers,” a 65 foot sailboat crewed by 20 Harvard students. (It seems when
Cheers passed another boat called Confrontation, Ollie
North’s lawyer’s boat, one of the crew leaned over and
asked “Do you have any Grey Poupon?” The crew of
Confrontation became so upset, they left Bermuda immediately after they arrived, not bothering to stay around for
the various ceremonies.)
I went immediately to the Yacht Club where Ed was staying, and found that Cheers was being virtually ignored,
even by its own crew. Everyone was congratulating the
three “old” men who crewed Ba-Su-J and shaking their
hands. They were especially attentive to Ed, who had navigated without any electronics and had hit Bermuda right
on the nose. (Of course, sailors had done the same for
centuries, but most of these men had never sailed without
at least LORAN.) As the last boat in, they won the cook’s
trophy, so named because the cook would have had to
make supplies last and cook longer than any other one. I
still have the beautiful pewter bowl.
Jim, the owner of Ba-Su-J, had a friend of his fly over, and
he replaced the generator, which had gone bad. We
stayed in Bermuda a few days longer than expected, then
started home. Ed stayed navigator, but I became the cook.
It is a very interesting experience to turn the water on and
place the cup way over to the side, because with the boat
heeled over, the water comes out of the spigot at a severe
angle!
Originally, I was scared to death! I have pictures of me
clutching one the stanchions tightly with a wide eyed
expression of utter fear on my face. After all, we were in a
40 foot sailboat out in the middle of the Atlantic, and the
swells were 20 feet above us, a wall of water just waiting
to crash down on us. Of course, they never did. We simply
sailed smoothly up and down and I soon lost my fear.
Then, we hit a strong breeze, coming from about 4 o’clock
from our bow, and hit hull speed, 8 knots, and held it for six
days. It was, beyond a doubt, the most fantastic experience of my life. It was like sailing suspended in space, blue
sky above, blue water underneath, sun and stars and clear
skies.
– 12 –
A few years earlier, I had stepped across the cockpit, landed on the ball of my foot; my heel went down and tore my
Achilles tendon in half. It took three months to heal and
even after months of physical therapy, I still had only 80%
use. I had to plan every move when I knelt down or did
anything that required moving my foot. When we arrived
back in New Jersey, after eight days of the boat moving in
every direction, I had regained complete use of my leg. I
highly recommend a long trip in a small sailboat as physical therapy!

Around the house
with Shirley Solton
This was one of those lazy days of summer, warm, but
not unbearable, low humidity, light breeze and nothing
that had to be done immediately. Looking around outside, I saw some plants could be replanted, and some
mums put in other places. It was after a rain, and the
ground was soft, so out came my kneeling bench,
gloves and a trowel, and I went to do some gardening.
I don't work until I drop anymore, as soon as I feel
tired, I rest. I have two trusty rockers on my little front
porch, available for a pleasant rock to soothe the soul
and joints. I have the beautiful sight of my split-leaf
Japanese maple right in front of me. It has grown so
large and has been heavily laden with branches and
leaves until this spring. The heavy winter snows seem
to have damaged many branches and the shape of
the tree has changed.
I removed many dead branches that broke off in my
hands leaving large empty spaces in the tree. There
are still branches with leaves falling lightly over the
frame, and it's very pretty. There are branches at the
bottom heavy with leaves that should be trimmed, but
I don't have the heart to cut them off and out.
The tree trunk is now exposed through the open
spaces and it's lovely to look at, twisting and turning.
It has a definite oriental appearance, and I've planted
an assortment of impatiens at its base. I put a deep
dish of water there also for the birds to drink and
bathe, and I change the water daily.
As I sat and rocked the other evening, a sparrow flew
in and took a long bath, fluffing its wings about 6 times
for a really good soaking. I sit still so they won't fly
away. I don't know if it's the same one, but I have birds
coming daily for their drink and dunk. It's become a
nightly ritual for me to sit and watch the birds and the
planes. I think I told you to watch the planes on their
way to the Philadelphia airport. They go by seconds
apart. Haven't seen many fireflies, but I may go in too
early.
A relaxing way to end the day, try it some time.
Senior Laff
A senior gentlemen, not in very good shape, was working out in the gym when he
spotted a shapely young gal across the room. He asked the trainer that was nearby,
“What machine in here should I used to impress that sweet young thing over there?”
The trainer looked him up and down and said, “I’d try the ATM machine in the lobby.”

hERoES IN oUR MIdST #7
READER’S
CORNER
By Peggie Stark
Through the years we have interviewed six other residents using the above captioned title. They were all due
to military service, in foreign lands. Thus, in my eyes they
were heroes. In this, you will read about one who saved
two lives 6/11/11 in Holiday Village. The resident is Bob
Taylor. He and his wife, Betty had just returned home
from a party in Yardley, Pa. He parked on the street in
front of their home and when getting out of his car, heard
a loud crash as a car side-swiped another car and then
reversed onto a driveway and hit the garage door causing the gas tank of her car and the tank of car inside the
garage to explode, as well as the gas line to the house.
[This home is two doors from his.] Bob yelled to Betty to
call 911; ran to that vehicle and got the lady out, helped
her across the street. He then ran to the neighbor’s and
banged on his door. [He is hard of hearing and did not
hear the explosions.] Thankfully, Bob was able to get him
away from the fire too, unharmed.

ThE oThER dAUghTER
By LISA GARDNER
In 1977, Russell Lee Holmes, a convicted serial killer is
put to death in Texas. In 1977; a nine-year-old girl is
abandoned at a hospital in Boston. Russell Lee Holmes
took with him to the grave the identity of his only daughter. The little abandoned girl had no memory of who she
is, no memory of anything prior to waking up in the hospital emergency room. Could there possibly be a connection between the two? This is the question raised by a
sleazy tabloid reporter 20 years later, a question that will
cause heartache, confusion and murder in the family of a
prominent Boston cardiologist Harper Stokes and his trophy wife, Patricia.
Prior to these two seemingly unrelated events, Harper and
Patricia Stokes had lost their four-year-old daughter to
murder and their lives appeared forever changed,
changed that is, until Harper decides to adopt the abandoned child left in his hospital. They name their daughter
Melanie and raise her in a loving, lavish, neatly ordered
environment; an environment that could be forever fractured if the explosive truth of Melanie’s first nine years is
ever revealed.
In THE OTHER DAUGHTER, Lisa Gardner indulges her
fascination with the dark side of family life. This is a novel
of psychological suspense, romance, deceit, and murder.
Ugly secrets and bloody lies unravel in every chapter,
lives are forever changed, and a twenty-five year cover-up
is brutally uncovered. Gardner writes a riveting, mesmerizing thriller, bound to keep you turning pages and burning
the midnight oil.
Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine review: “Readers get
loads of angst, great procedural stuff, some hair-raising
action scenes, and a villain to keep you awake at night.
What more can any thriller reader want?”
Bob said, “This all happened within seconds; I do not feel
like a hero, I was meant to be at the right place at the right
time.” That is putting it mildly, it was truly a blessing to the
other two involved and Bob is a hero to me! Others might
have been shocked motionless, but his quick actions
were clearly remarkable and life-saving! We are very
sorry for the multiple losses of property, as well as the
trauma especially for David Duncombe. We are really
glad that there is no physical harm.We understand David
is planning on rebuilding here, we wish him the best of
luck and happiness!
Bob and Betty moved here about 10 years ago from
Medford. He was born and raised in Collingswood; married Betty 53 years ago. They lived in Haddon Twp where
he was Captain of the Police Reserves for 10 years. [Bob
feels that he learned “proper response” to calamities during that time.] He was in the Army for two years, on the
way to Korea as the war was ending so he went as far as
Okinawa. They have a son and daughter who must be
really proud of their Dad.
In the time Bob has been a resident he has been on several committees: the ARB; Contract; Common Grounds
and is still a flag captain and delivers The Villager.
Thanks, Bob – we are proud to have you and Betty in our
community! [Plus he’s a Colls High Graduate, like me.]
enjoy summer
time!
