Featured individuals include longtime resident and historian Ruth Thomson (with ties to the Peapack-Gladstone area) and her son, Barry Thomson, along with other local history advocates dedicated to preserving the region’s cultural heritage. Bedminster’s Dutzie Robie, Bernardsville’s Marion Kennedy and Jean Hill, and Bernards Township’s June Kennedy are highlighted. We also recently added Herb Petullo of Bound Brook, New Jersey. We thank them all for their commitment to preserving and promoting local history in New Jersey.
