Ocean’s Heritage, Winter 2015

It’s not that the Museum calendar isn’t already quite full. But a good idea is a good idea, and this is one that

couldn’t wait. So, on Friday, November 21, we launched the pilot of a new project: “Family Stories Video Histories.”

The new project is designed to pre-serve and share the personal recollections of family members and friends whose familiar stories tell of how things used to be, of how we came to be, of events and characters well worth remembering. We are inviting people into the Museum to sit down, interview loved ones, and preserve and share personal and local history.

Making it happenOnce again, the

skill and generosity of our talented mem-bers brought the good idea to life. Former talk-show host Dallas Grove volunteered to spearhead the project. Video engineer Mort Burkeofferedhis time(and equipment) to videotape and edit.

A new idea for preserving and sharing local history

Family Stories video history project underway

The Eden Woolley House

How it worksInterested parties contact the Mu-

seum to request a videotaping. Dallas works with participants, helping them identify key themes and stories, select photos, and prepare for the interview. She is there during the taping to support and coach. Mort is cameraman and direc-

tor. He and Dallas collaborate to hone the footage into a coherent interview.

A copy of the resulting DVD goes to the family, another to the Museum where it may be used in historical research and educational programs. A $25 donation helps cover expenses.

One good idea leads to another

The pilot produced a charming and captivating interview between Gail Lev-enson and her 90-year-old mother Flor-ence Harris. So captivating, in fact, that another idea occurred to us: Why not share it more broadly?

We have arranged with Ocean TV, the township’s community cable channel (77 on Cablevision and 22 on Verizon FiOS) to air a monthly Museum-produced pro-gram, “Hometown History,” featuring, among other things, highlights of our “Family Stories.” Stay tuned for details!

Who in your family or circle of friends holds the stories? Honor them with an invitation to participate in the Family Stories Video His-tory Project. Call (732-531-9264) or email (oceanmuseum.org) to explore the possibili-ties.

Professional interviewer and Museum member Dallas Grove coaches Florence Harris, 90, and her daughter Gail Lev-enson, at the videotaping of the Family Stories pilot.

Florence Harris, subject of the “Family Stories” pilot, shared memories of her grandparents, Russian émigrés who settled in Brooklyn around 1910. He was a Talmudic scholar; she

was a determined survivor who led the family to the U.S. and helped it survive the Depression by brewing bathtub gin. Florence’s husband joined the Marines in 1939 at 18. Before his war-time deployment overseas, he was a member of the Drum and Bugle Corps that accompanied Franklin Roosevelt on his recuperative visits to Warm Springs, Georgia. Family stories include recollectionsoffirst-handimpressionsofthePresident.Florenceherselfhadaconnectionwiththe Roosevelts. She worked for 17 years for a children’s organization founded by First Lady Eleanor. Trudie Lash, the wife of Eleanor’s biographer Joseph Lash, was her co-worker.

The Scottish village of Brigadoon ap-pears magically for one day every 100

years. We do better than that. For two days every year, the Woolley House becomes a transformed space, a soon-to-disappear setting where guests welcome in the start of the holiday season.

On December 6 and 7, more than 300 people entered that transformed space to enjoy model trains, vintage toys, galleries dressed for the season, a bit of shopping, and the premiere of a mini-exhibit. The Holiday Weekend was a record-breaker, earning rave reviews and more than $2,540 for the Museum treasury.

and playing her dulcimer, entertained visitors in the Richmond Gallery. The Our Town Gallery featured a model train lay-out, a delightful collection of vintage pop-up books, and a new exhibit--”Oakhurst School Remembered.” The Hearth and Home Gallery, emptied of artifacts, was for two days a charming boutique and bakery, filled to overflowing with hand-craftedgifts and home-baked treats.

Children searched from gallery to gal-lery to complete their “Find the Christmas Trees” game cards. Parents and grand-parents added their own memories at the Oakhurst School exhibit and amused a new generation with stories of what school was like decades ago. “Boys and girls had sepa-

It turns out that bubble wrap and bar codes--not to mention the Band-Aid, air-conditioner, drive-in theater, cell phone, tran-sistor,artificialknee,colortelevision, electric guitar, professional baseball, and M&Ms--are among the in-ventions that came from the fourth most patent-holding state in the union.* Our own New Jersey!

Linda’s fascination with New Jersey history was piqued when she be-came a fourth grade teacher and taught it as part of the curriculum. Over time, her interest in state history expanded to writing and preservation. Linda now spends her time writing, speaking, and volunteering fornonprofitgroupssuchasthe D&R Canal Watch, the American Canal Society, and the League of Historical So-

* The U. S. Patent Office has been tracking patents by state since 1977. New Jersey companies and residents have received 115,000 patents to date. Only California, Texas, and New York--states with much larger populations--exceeded New Jersey’s total (115,000).

State History Fair

For the past decade, historical organizations from across the

state have come together to put on a show for thousands of apprecia-tive visitors. And this year, the an-nual event is in our own backyard (well, almost). On Saturday, May 9, 11 to 5, rain or shine, the New Jer-sey History Fair is at the Monmouth BattlefieldStateParkinManalapan.Our Museum will be there with ex-hibits, quilters, demonstrations, and music--and you are invited.

Bring the family. Browse the “artisan and authors” marketplace, visit the booths of historical and genealogical societies, watch Civil and Revolutionary War re-enactors, and meet historical characters the likes of Clara Barton, General Hen-ry Clinton, (and of course, our own Phoebe Woolley).

The idea occurred when a visitor to the Museum came bearing gifts. She is a

Woolley descendent who had brought with her pages of genealogical research on the family. Her documentation may be excep-tional, but her connection and her interest are not.

Since the Woolley House opened in 2009 --and even before--Woolley family mem-bers have lent their support to our mission. They range from Frank West, a Woolley de-scendent and gifted artisan who crafted the model of the house that helped us to raise awareness (and money) before the move, to Phil Parratt, master carpenter who devoted hours of skilled labor to the restoration.

Museum records for the Woolley Family go back to the 10th Century to a Ralph De Walegh in Chesire, England. Thirteen gen-

erations of Walegh, Woley, Wolley, Woolley’s appear in English records before Emanu-el Wooley, born 1625, left England for Newport, Rhode Island. Our own Eden Woolley, is a descendant in Emanuel’s line--as are countless others, some living in this area.

The idea is to host a reunion--invite Woolley descendents (and anyone interested in the family’s history) to get together to meet each other, share family stories, and see what the Museum has learned and collected on their ancestors. We’re holding Sun-day, August 16, as a target date, but we need to spread the word and hear from you.

Please call the Museum (732-531-2136) or email ([email protected]) if this sounds like a party you’d like to attend!

PresidentMessage from the Museum

“History teaches everything including the future.” --Lamartine

This January, a very special group of Museum volunteers completed the 28th year of our

Third-Grade School Program. Begin-ning in 1987, Reba Eichorn, a retired Wanamassa third-grade teacher and Museum docent, realized that we could help children understand the history of their community using the pictures and artifacts in our Museum. We ap-proached the school administration and the third-grade program was born. Every year since, an annual Museum class trip has been part of the social studies curriculum in the Ocean Town-ship schools.

Under the direction of chairman Ellen Gulick, this year a team of 15 volunteers brought history to life for 13 third-grade classes (about 250 stu-dents). In the past 28 years, we esti-mate that over 7,000 students have vis-ited the Museum and learned about the history of Ocean Township, surround-ing areas, and what life was like in the 18th and 19th centuries--before elec-tricity, indoor plumbing, and the tech-nological advances third-graders can’t imagine life without. Some of those original third-graders are now parents with third-graders of their own!

A key mission of this Museum is education. We thank and congratulate our current and past docents who have helped us carry out this mission by il-luminating local history for all the stu-dents, teachers and parent chaperones who have come through our doors. Thank you for your time and enthusi-asm. You are special people.

My Safety Patrol memories are among my happiest of Oakhurst School, a place where we shared a wonderful sense of family. Safety Patrol members and officers were appointed by ourteachers, and it was quite an honor to be named, for the 1956-1957 school year,thefirstfemalecaptain--ever.

As the captain, I was in charge of the patrol. My friend Lorraine Hartigan Nonnenberg was ap-pointed lieutenant. We wore badges: blue for the captain, red for the lieutenant, and silver for the “regulars.” (We loved our badges. My brother Terry--who was Safety Patrol lieu-tenant in 1955-- remembers one of his friends wearing his badge all day long and even in his class picture!)

Keeping the kids safe--and in lineIn general, our jobs were to supervise

children on the playground before school, at recess, and during lunch breaks. (Boys and girls were segregated during recess, playingondifferent sidesof the school.)If there were problems of any kind --fighting, rough play, name-calling,cheating, recklessness on the swings and see-saws, playing in areas thatwere off-limits--we were expected to intervene and/or tell the teacher on duty. As I re-member, the Safety Patrol had no time to play during these breaks.

We were very committed to our re-sponsibilities. Terry remembers checking the woods surrounding the school to make sure the kids had heard the bell and lined up on time. On occasion, a student would not hear the bell and panic to discover that everyone had gone into the building --leaving him alone in the woods!

I remember making the rounds during the lunch hour --to the girl’s bathroom in the basement of the old building, throughthehallways,andtotheplaygroundsandfieldsbe-

I Remember . . .Safety Patrol at Oakhurst School

Jean Ellen Byrnes, Class of 1957, credits her ex-perience as Safety Patrol captain with influenc-

ing her choice to become a teacher. She taught for 25 years, including time in a rural Nebraska

classroom of kindergarten, first, and second graders and in a progressive open classroom in Colorado. Her “I Remember”recalls attitudes and practices unimaginable in today’s schools.

hind the school. It was my job to tell the upper grades when they could re-enter the building. I leaned out of the window atthesecondfloorlandingsoIcouldseeeverythingontheplayground. So exhilarating!

We also monitored the lines as the students entered the building and passed through the halls before school and dur-ing recess breaks. We didn’t allow talking or drinking from the water fountains. If students talked or pushed, we could take them out of line and/or report them to their teachers.

Left in charge of a classroomOn rainy, snowy or bitter cold days, Lorraine and I

would supervise entire classes in their rooms so the teachers could take a break, for about half an hour. I always worked in Mrs. Hyer’s 3rd grade, playing games with the kids, like

“eraser tag “ and “It is I.” I was the only person in authority; there was no adult in the room. Lorraine had a sepa-rate classroom. That would NEVER happen today!!

The rewardsEvery spring, the Safety Patrol went

to a New York Giants baseball game as a reward for our service. I had a great time for two years in a row. The last year, I remember calling “Say hey, Wil-lie” to Willie Mays who played, I be-lieve, center field. He always wavedback to us. What a thrill!

Lorraine and I agree that being on the Safety Patrol--caring for classrooms of children--was a highlight of our

school years. We loved children and I believe those activities influencedourdecisionstobecometeachers.(Webothbeganour careers in the Bradley School in Asbury Park.) I remem-ber Mrs. Hyer telling me, “You have to become a teacher!”

Nora Kirlew, 85, died November 28. Nora was born in England and had lived the last 36 years in Ocean Township. She owned a ceramic shop in Long Branch.

Jane Young, 87, of Ocean Grove, died Saturday, December 27. Jane worked for NJ Bell and later AT&T for a total of 42 years. We knew her as a Museum member and quilter.

Nicholas Baldino, 90, of Red Bank, died January 11. He served as a World War II bombardier and had a distinguished career in finance. Nickwas profiled as“Oakhurst School’s (Almost) Oldest Alum” in the last issue of the newsletter.

Helyn Slovak, 96, of Interlaken, died January 21. Helyn was a professional dancer in the 1920s and an accomplished artist whose work, “The Skaters,” was used by UNI-CEF on a greeting card.

James Serano, 95, died January 30. Jim was a generous Museum supporter who sponsoredourquiltraffleticketsformanyyears.Wehonoredtheheroismthatearnedhim a Silver Star in our exhibit,” Loved Ones Go to War: Local Stories of WWII.”

This year Ocean Township High School celebrates its 50th year. Before

1965, 8th graders graduating from Town-ship elementary schools chose between Asbury Park and Long Branch High. The opening of the new school was a turning point for Ocean--and for Asbury, the dis-trict that had up to then educated most of the township’s teens.

The Museum is noting this signifi-cant anniversary with a mini-exhibit, “Ocean Township High at 50,” opening

Math Club, 1969, year of OTHS’s first 4-year graduating class.
