The Prof has a bit of a Bill Murray look. Esp with the sunglasses.

His comments about the dockworkers voting the corrupt union back in as well as Margaret’s comments on the continual duping of Hoboken natives, remind me of recent events. Despite the obviously shady nature of Cammarano and many of his closest associates, he managed to win. Including a majority of long term residents, who know better than most most how corruption short changes them, especially those living in the projects. With the ‘liquor’ of nativist sentiments and cash around election time?

Margaret, I see that the similarity isn’t lost on you. Will you be out fighting the corruption’s replacement candidate in the Fall. That is, the Russos and/or Raia. -Dave

If you think the Dutch first settled Hoboken you are wrong. The QUAKERS were here “first” and before that MORAVIAN MISSIONARIES
who did not get along with the natives and moved on.
The QUAKERS moved to PENNSYLVANIA where they still are somewhat.

I have all this and more. WILL NOT HAVE IT PLAGIARIZED but will give it away to those who want to read info from the REAL HISTORY HERE…just to clear my name and reputation from where it was smeared and abused…

The entire HISTORY of the first Pioneers here and the Churches and the Schools is all the way down on a second book. SCROLL and see it on fullmoonoverhoboken.com with PICTURES…just follow the COMPASS by M.A. O’Brien,….that is me…
NOT PLAGIARZED not copied and sanctioned by the GOVERNMENT OF HOLLAND (we did a LOT OF HISTORICAL WORK TOGETHER to get this info) THE MUSEUM DID NOT DO IT…

It is about time I got credit for MY OWN WORK including what was plagiarized and abused.

Have another paragraph..I have hundreds and hundreds…all true.

“as the settlers and pioneers filled up our town, the FIRST MAYOR was elected. Cornelius Glickener was famous as a laxative salesman who “purged” the local farmers and ran a campaign of listening to complaints from the citizens. “I’ll get to the bottom of this” was one of his campaign slogans, and a “liquid
jollification” followed after each official meeting, which were
many as there were many complaints. Purging was a common ailment in those days, as the farmers diets were overloaded with homemade bread products, and bakeries and merchants were becoming wealthy. A young ambitious German immigrant (Glickener)
traversed door to door with his “purging” products! Snake oil laced with Laudanum and liniments, used also for horses, were the order of the day. He surrounded himself with a few wealthy farmers who ran policy past the citizens, (sound familiar?) and a few of them went on to become elected. See more @ fullmoonoverhoboken.com ( lithographs and pictures of our first Mayor and city council)…I have SO MUCH MORE….and I will NOT give it away with no credit to any faux museum…

Here is the “first” paragraph from some of my stuff. Judge for yourself.
“Hoboken is and has always been a “prototype” town. Politics goes back to the “first” meeting of the natives with Henry Hudson. He warred with them, killed a few, then returned to our shores to bring a keg of Brandy to the Chief of the Natives here
(Oratam) to get him drunk. The language of the times states that
the chief “pukethe and falleth downe”. The surrounding natives
were readying their arrows when the Chief awoke, and ordered “more firewater!”. Politically, things haven’t changed much over the centuries, and those natives are long gone to the happy hunting ground, and have been replaced many times by different “natives” with differing cultures and times.

I have whole chapters and that is the first paragraph. The Library of Congress has them, as does the Copyright office in Washington D.C. Whatever didn’t get kyped for the “museum” is still with me.

On the Waterfront was only a small part of life here, there was so much more, and I have it written. I hesitate to give it to any faux museum as they already have taken too much from me with no credit or payment, copyrights included.

If anybody is that interested in history here, meet me. I have so much more, much of it interesting. Any takers? I will show you a REAL LIVED HOBOKEN, from the inside out, not kyped or plagiarized!
