My Mother told me that when she was a little girl.
The young guys who hung out on the street corner in her neighborhood would always ask her, "Mary, what nationality are you?"
And she'd say, "Proud Irish!"

My Grandfather Mike, is the one who taught me to love Irish music. He would play the Irish records for me. He played The Darling Girl From Clare, over and over and over. Mike really loved me.

My Uncle Timmy, (Mike's Son), is the one who taught me to love to read.
When I was real little, maybe 3, I had a fairy tales book as big as myself. My Uncle Timmy would read it to me, for hours. 

He'd read a couple of stories and say, "I have to go now." I'd say, "just one more story." 

He'd read another story and say, "OK,  I have to go now."

I'd say, "just one more story." We would repeat this, until I fell asleep. This would go on, through, many stories.

✰Note to Archdiocese Newark, NJ-Please Re-Open/Do Not Close Assumption Church✰







Archbishop Of Newark (NJ) John J Myers
Motto, Mysterium Ecclesiae Luceat
(translated:“Let the Mystery of the Church shine forth”) Archdiocese of Newark-Contact​

Please e-mail or call Archbishop Myers. 

I just e-mailed him and sent him a copy of this blog post. I also called, left a voice mail. I can afford a 20 minute, long-distance phone call to help Our Lady of Assumption Church. They were so good to us when we were kids and always great friends.



Everyone can e-mail the Archbishop. An e-mail is free and quick. 
Can you imagine if he got like, 10,000 emails!
Just say; it's on behalf of the Parishioners, of Our Lady Of Assumption Church.
Tell Archbishop Myers: Please, Re-Open, Our Lady Of Assumption Church!
That; the Parishioners, Love and need this Church very much!
Five Bayonne Catholic parishes to be consolidated into two, says Archdiocese of Newark


Parishioners March To Keep Bayonne, NJ Church Open 


Hundreds of parishioners of Our Lady of Assumption in Bayonne protested the closing of their church in front of the Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart in Newark on Nov 1st.

Note to Archdiocese of Newark-Please, Do Not Close Assumption Church. 

I understand why St Josephs and St Michael's  Churches were consolidated with Mt Carmel.

St Joseph's, no longer has a Roman Catholic Congregation and St Michael's is right across the street. Both are on the same block as Mt Carmel

Assumption is blocks away from Mt Carmel. All the way across town.

Mt Carmel is always crowded enough already; (standing room only on holidays). With the additional; Parishioners from St Joseph's, St Michael's and 1,700 more from Assumption. They wouldn't even all fit, in Mt Carmel Church! 

Our Lady Of The Assumption ChurchServing the Bayonne Community, for almost 120 years!

Great Feast every August. The best zeppoles, anywhere! 

I Love OLA. They kept us crazy kids safe and off the streets for hours, at their dances (back in the 1960's) every Friday night. Putting up with our drunken antics.

Bayonne, needs this Church. It’s a brand new building practically. Guess maybe 35 years old. It’s a great design to be energy efficient, too.

Throw some solar panels on the back of that roof and it’s self containing energy wise.

It’s an architecturally beautiful, modern design but large enough on the inside. More like a Chapel.
Quite beautiful inside too.

It would not only be tragic to the Congregation of 1,700 Parishioners and the Community to close this Church, but a waste to allow this beautiful building to be closed and just sit vacant in our cold and damp NJ winters. Would still have to heat the building anyway.

☮PEACE In 2016☮ My Best Blog Posts For Everyone With Love,



I write my blog posts, to try and help everyone.

By now I have found and saved links for just about everything I can find that people need help finding.

When I went to College, I wanted to be a Researcher. Looks like I’m meeting my goals there.

These posts, are written with Love.
Because in my life; back when I was “young and dumb;” scores and I mean, hundreds of people took the time to care and help me.

“FREE LOVE!” TAKE SOME!
As they say; “turn about, is fair play.” So I am compelled to help the world!

No matter; if, the bad guys don’t like it.
I’ve been fighting bad guys all my life; (“bar bruiser” types, where I come from). In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. George Orwell

I’m from Bayonne NJ. Where in the old days, there used to be a bar on every corner.

Those type of  guys, taught today's kids all this violence, when they saw them getting away with it.

Someone got arrested for shooting up Ave C; a main thoroughfare, two weeks ago.

In Jersey City; (town next door) a young person, has been, getting shot, or killed, at least once a week.

Since our gov’t is unable to stop this, I have made it *one of my personal missions, to help these young people. “Been there, almost done that.”

Voice of experience. I’m 65yrs old. Seen it all!

So, I want to share some of my best blog posts.

Please Take, Use, Share, Enjoy. 

I wrote these, for all of you. 

This is my gift to you; along with Love And My Wish For, Peace, Prosperity And All The Best Of Everything, For Everyone.

I also write, for all the people who need help and don’t know how to get it.

Points You Can Make About the DREAM Act
The DREAM Act is bipartisan legislation that gives eligible young people who were brought to the US as children the opportunity to resolve their immigration status and work towards citizenship.

The DREAM Act is supported by 70 percent of likely voters and by leaders in education, the military, business and religious orders.

A national poll of 1,008 adults, conducted by Opinion Research Corporation for First Focus in June 2010, shows that support cuts across regional and party lines with 70 percent overall support.

University presidents and educational associations, as well as military recruiters, business and religious leaders have called on Congress to pass the DREAM Act.

The DREAM Act is a great return on money we have already invested and will prepare the country for the global economy.

The students who would benefit under the DREAM Act have been raised and educated in the US State and local taxpayers have already invested in the education of these children in elementary and secondary school. America deserves a return on their investment.

Leading businesses such as Microsoft have endorsed the DREAM Act because they recognize that our broken immigration system is draining our economy of the talent and resources needed to compete in the global economy.

Passage of the DREAM Act will increases revenues in our communities.

My Father's Family came from Russia and Latvia.

My Grandfather Nathan, traveled all the way from Russia by himself as a teenager. He had a Brother, who already lived in Connecticut.

My Grandmother Sarah; came with her Father, Mother and Sisters from Latvia. Her Father was an Orthodox Rabbi.

I know they arrived in America before 1881; because my Grandmother Sarah and Nathan were married and their oldest child Florence, my Father's Sister, was born during one of the great blizzards, 1881 or 1888.

The Great Blizzard of 1888 photos

Blizzard of 1888 wikipedia

My Father was born August 4th 1893. On Grand Street; NYC, (by the Brooklyn Bridge); Manhattan's Lower East Side

They moved to Bayonne New Jersey, where Sarah's relatives lived when he was 7 yrs old.

He grew up to be a Bayonne Fireman and Bar owner and knew everyone in New York City.

My Father and his Brother Harry, were both in the Navy during WWI.
My Father Sam Atkins Jazz Age
My Mother's Parent's arrived in America around 1905, from Ireland.

My Grandfather Michael was from the County Clare. He worked on the Central Railroad; (in Jersey City), 100 years ago. Unloading box cars with a big hook. He and his fellow workers, sweltered in the summer and froze in the winter!

Central Railroad of New Jersey

NJ Central Railroad Terminal located at Liberty State Park.

I think Mike's older Sister was already here when he arrived. She did live nearby.

My Grandmother Bridget was from County Offaly. She always told my Mother that we were descended from the Kings and Queens of Tara Hall. Bridget's Brother, Tim was in the Army in WWI.

My Mother was born on Montgomery Street; in Jersey City (Hudson County) New Jersey in 1909, she was the oldest of 8 children.

She started working; running errands for dressmakers, going all the way to New York City. As young as, seven years old. She had to give her pay to her Mother but could keep her tips.

Before that; from around age five, my Mother was expected to run household errands, like go to the stores and carry as much as five pounds worth of sugar, flour or other groceries home.

Every time I asked for a new pair of shoes; etc, she told me the story of how her Teacher/Nun, gave her a new pair of (ugly) brown shoes and she didn't like the color. But her father said they were good, strong shoes, and made her wear them anyway.

Or about the dress she made from a bathing suit. She had the picture.

Or if I didn't like some food she served, it was about how her Mother cooked goose every Christmas and she hated goose.
