That property is a couple of houses down from the local grammar school I attended in the mid 60’s. Dad used to joke that there was one democrat in town, on the “other” side of the highway.

Also, when Dave wanted a building for the Packard Foundation
in Los Altos Hills, the Planning Dept said no. After he suggested he’d go ahead with affordable housing, the Foundation got it’s headquarters.

That school will soon have its average test scores go down.

For those that care too look, the property is at 115 E Allendale Rd, Saddle River, NJ 07458.

It just came to me that Richard Nixon lived in Saddle River. The house at 15 Charlden Drive was bought by a Japanese businessman who let the place deteriorate and has since been demolished.

True story. Nixon relieved his Secret Service protection. Somehow, my dad, by hook or crook got the job to install exterior lighting around Nixon's house. I recall him saying most of the lights were up in the trees. My dad smoked and always carried around a cup of coffee. He was doing just that walking around the property while his workers were up in the trees. The whole time he was followed by two burly men.
