In an effort to herald Fair Haven schools’ upcoming spring sports and activities and honor the accomplishments of fall and winter teams and clubs, pep rallies cheered them on at Knollwood School recently.
“It is wonderful to see the musicians and performers at the concert and listen to their selections,” Fair Haven’s Knollwood School Principal Amy Romano said recently about the school’s annual Chamber Music Recital.

Sunday was National Siblings Day.
So, though we may be a day late, we’re not short on photo gems of Rumson-Fair Haven area siblings.
These shots of still recognizable siblings go back as far as the 1930s and are as recent as a few months ago.
So, as a Retro Pic(s) of the Day, we honor siblings in the area with a slideshow. These photos, most likely taken with one of those Brownie cameras or the Instamatic with the cube flash, are classics.
Recognize anyone? Favorite shot?

He was a community pillar. He was the go-to Rumson Department of Public Works (DPW) guy for decades. He was a volunteer fireman, first aid squad member. He helped out many in need through church and many a charitable cause. He was a mentor. He was king of the zeppole-makers. He was a husband, father, grandfather and friend to many.

Joe was 81 years old. He passed away on April 2 surrounded by his loving family at Monmouth Medical Center in Long Branch.
