Art I used to received your blogs regarding Trenton's Jewish community and 1 that I remember was from a Trentonian author that was living in New Zealand in which he mentioned an illegal liquor "still" in the period of Prohibition built by his uncle on Union St. I figured he was referring to the still that was built to my mother's brother, my uncle, Abe Byer, next door to my grandfather's (and later my father's) hardware store at 63 Union St. and came to the conclusion that he was the New Zeeland's person uncle by was of his wife. At that time I sent him an e-mail but never received a reply. In any case the attached document that I've written speaks of the Olinsky and Byer's families of Trenton, and contains a story about the still. I look forward to you thoughts regarding it.

PROGRESS CLUB (Forerunner of Greenacres) One of the leading social clubs of the present day, with a membership exclusively Jewish, is the Progress Club, which since 1922 has been occupying a handsome club house at 178 West State Street.

Year is 1952 because we studied the 52 presidential election with Mrs Clark as our teacher,
I think this was a picture actually of a 5th and 6th grade class (still Mrs. Clark). Al Downing, Paula Robinson, Larry Trachtenberg and Art Finkel were in the 6th grade and maybe some others, too. Alan Kagan, Jeffrey Doranz, Bob Hollingshead, myself (Sandy Lipshutz, now Levine) were in the 5th grade. BTW, years ago, when I worked for the New York Times, Al Downing came into the newsroom as a public relations exec. He remembered me with a warm greeting and impressed my colleagues.
