Projects such as ours are not possible without help so I would like to extend my sincere thanks to the Hudson County Office of Cultural and Heritage Affairs/Tourism Development’s Hudson County History Partnership Program (HCHPP) for funding this project, the Bayonne Board of Education and our Central Office for supporting this work, Mayor Davis and the City Council, particularly Councilman Neil Carroll, for helping us to make the program available to the public, and the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey as well as the Board at Boatworks for their enthusiastic response. Moreover, I owe a debt of gratitude to Library Director J.P. Porcaro, Dr. Carmela Karnoutsos, Joe Waks, Joe Ryan, Lee Fahley, Frank J. Andruss, Sr. and Andy Shanahan for sharing their time, their knowledge, and in Frank’s case, his photos. And a HUGE thank you to Ms. Kelly Sweeney, and her students, Maggie Caley, Kiara Opoku, and Alyssa Rozario! Your work, your patience, and your willingness to see this project through to completion during a pandemic was a great accomplishment, thank you!
Sincerely,
Dan Ward
