[Shotimes] New Jersey (now really OT)... was: Subarus and stuff

[James White]

I only have fond memories on New Jersey.  One of my college GF was 
from Brooklyn and we managed to send several days at her family's 
summer home on Cape May...

But also I am the ancestor of a Hessian mercenary.  One Theo (maybe 
Theodore?) Baum.  He made and signed (as did all of the other ancestors) 
a small table that I still have.
