I’m originally from the Edison/Metuchen/Fords area during the 50’s and 60’s. I remember seeing the light on the top of the monument from miles away. I was in the museum there once it was very interesting. Later I found out how he stole ideas from Tesla. What a scumbag.
I was just up the road from you in Kearny.
At the time I was taking lessons in the early ‘80’s with Joe he was giving them from a Dorn & Kirschner music store in Union.
Prior to taking lessons I was just making noise.
Joe Morello taught me how to play the drums. I’m left handed. He got a kick out of that.
