david eardley Friday, May 25th 2007 - 09:35:41 PM deardle1@midsouth.rr.com Hello , I found this site searching for Troiano Garwood . Found Penny T's fairly recent message ( SHE WAS HOT IN MY MEMORIES )just truthful . Joe T. was my gym teacher and Mrs. T taught me algebra ( She was hot too ) but I learned . The Troiano's were great educators . Mrs T. taught female gym also . I think Mr T. became principal , but well after my attendance . Garwood is my TOWN , my hometown . I lived in Garwood from 1959 till 1981 . Run some names , Mrs Crawford , Ms. tearse , Mr. Buckley , Mr. Ed White , Reverend Zabo , Stoeffers Deli , what did we call the candy store on Willow and Center , GREASERS LOL , My life in Garwood was very special , it was a special place then , I pray children now know , and learn as I did , respect and more importantly , HUMILITY , WE ARE ALL EQUAL , BUT GOD IS GREAT .

Marge Mason (Kaiser) Wednesday, April 4th 2007 - 01:56:58 PM egram@farmerstel.com Just reading an article sent to me and homes going up for $500,000. That is amazing. I was born and raised in Garwood nearly 70 years ago. Why do I still feel like 40?? ha ha Some people I went to school with must still live there, at the time we had to ride the bus all the way to Regional High (Springfield) Just wanted to say it was great reading on this web site.

darlene garwood Friday, March 16th 2007 - 02:54:00 PM dgditto@aol.com My family , named Garwood, came from England back before the 1800's and my grandfather came over to Canada in 1907 on a cattle boat. His father owned an import business in an area of England from where he could see Big Ben. Does anyone know where the founder of Garwood, your town, came from? Thank you

Penny Troiano Friday, February 16th 2007 - 09:53:42 PM patroiano@hotmail.com http://garwood.org I was watching Wheel of Fortune tonight and there was a contestant from Garwood, NJ, my home town. I got nostalgic and located Garwood's website. What a wonderful walk down memory lane. I often tell my children, now grown, about growing up in such a great small town such as Garwood. Thanks for the great site.

Penny Troiano Friday, February 16th 2007 - 09:17:21 PM patroiano@hotmail.com Tonight I was watching Wheel of Fortune and there was a contestant from Garwood, NJ, my home town. I got nostalgic and found Garwood's website. My parents are retired educators from the Garwood Public School system. I wonder if you still have the PTA fairs that used to be held on the Washington School grounds? My children are grown now, and I often tell them stories of what it was like to grow up in a small town. Growing up in Garwood was the best with lots of fond memories. Thank you for this wonderful site.

Leslie Wednesday, June 28th 2006 - 10:44:06 AM lsteeg@comcast.net I just heard that Walt Stewart passed away and I'm very sorry to hear that. Walt was my neighbor on Willow Avenue from 1975 to 1998 and he was a very nice guy, always helpful and always friendly. I've since moved to South Plainfield but missed the old neighborhood. My condolences to Walt's family.

John J. Mozart Jr Saturday, November 26th 2005 - 04:23:50 PM jmozartjr@peoplepc.com Grandfather, John Mozart, drove the first fire truck owned by Garwood FD. This was because he was the only one at the time who knew how to drive a truck. I was told he drove it from Newark to Garwood. He actually started with the Garwood FD in the 1920's. He was an active member of the Garwood FD for over 50 years. Great guy! We surely miss him.
