The subject person lived in Glen Rock, NJ and Ridgewood, NJ from about 1917 to 1928

by Stanley A. Kober

For the last 14 years I have been assisting a WWII, VFW comrade (now over 95+ years old) in trying, in addition to putting together some facts about the life of my VFW comrade’s Dad, to get the remains of his father [CPT Warren C.M. Lessing (O-916 612)], also a WWII soldier, found and extricated from an Excalibur plane crash site in Botwood Bay, Newfoundland, Canada, in October 1942.  CPT Lessing was a close friend of General Doolittle and apparently on his way to a meeting with Gen. Doolittle in Foynes, Ireland when his plane crashed, but neither he nor the documents he was allegedly carrying, allegedly have been recovered. There’s a great deal more, including some intriguing events to this story/account that cannot be detailed here.

Glen Rock NJ, This morning I learned that on Halloween, sometime between 6AM-5PM, the beautiful bench on the Dunham Trail, paid for by neighbors and friends, was smashed to pieces and ripped off its concrete pad. The wood was smashed and thrown all around. It was a lot of work, so it took time and effort. The police were notified on Thursday.

Glen Rock NJ, Glen Rock Mayor Bruce Packer comments of Glen Rock’s Santa Gate :

“I would like to address the latest Santa-gate.

The reason why ‘hot button’ issues become ‘hot button’ issues is that there MULTIPLE passionate points of view. This small group posts on social media as if their’s is the ONLY point of view. It is not.
