In 1959
my family moved to Cedar Grove where open spaces gave rise to endless exploration and where friends and neighbors
enriched our lives. It was the Golden Age of Suburbia, in the timelessness of the American Dream.
In these pages you may reconnect with some of the people and places that made Cedar Grove such a great place to have grown
up.....

Portals close behind you and dimensions
are forgotten
Only wispy things remain and float away like cotton....
Portals close
behind you and the Treasure Trove is sealed
on the Price you had to pay and what has been revealed....
who we
really were....what was and wasn't Real
Portals close behind you to the sound
of fading voices
a part of you seeks solace...and a part of you rejoicess...
