SUMMARY:The Army's House of Magic: A History of Fort Monmouth
DESCRIPTION:Ocean County Historical Society\nTime:  2:00 PM\nDate: Sunday\, December 15\, 2024 \nThe Army’s House of Magic: A History of Fort Monmouth\, NJ with author Melissa Ziobro \nThe history of Fort Monmouth\, NJ begins in May 1917 when\, as part of its wartime mobilization\, the Army authorized four training camps for signal troops. One camp would be in central NJ – that which would eventually be known as “Fort Monmouth\,” in honor of the soldiers of the American Revolution who fought and died at the nearby Battle of Monmouth. The Army Signal Corps trained thousands of men for war there and built laboratories that worked on pioneering technologies like air to ground radio. Though the base was supposed to be temporary\, it wound up outliving the war. It was for decades known as the “Home of the Signal Corps\,” and\, until its closure in 2011\, the base was still innovating some of the most significant communications and electronics advances in military history – many of which would save lives on the battlefield and be adapted for civilian use. \nPresented by Monmouth University Professor Melissa Ziobro\, the last Command Historian of Fort Monmouth prior to the base’s closure in 2011\, and author of Fort Monmouth: the Army’s House of Magic (2024). \nThese events take place at our museum at 26 Hadley Avenue in Toms River.

SUMMARY:When Bipartisanship Mattered: The Life and Career of US Senator Clifford P. Case
DESCRIPTION:Bob Fernekes \nApril 14\, 2024\, at 2:00 PM  \n“When Bipartisanship Mattered: “The Life and Career of US Senator Clifford P. Case” \nFor 33 years in the U. S. Congress\, nine in the House and twenty-four in the Senate\, Clifford Case was a powerful voice for civil and human rights\, environmental protection\, ethics in government and a global role for the U.S. in combating the spread of communism and promoting democracy. Case was determined to uphold honesty and integrity in government\, introducing legislation on financial disclosure years before it was required by law\, while pursuing an end to the Vietnam War when it became clear U.S. policy was causing more harm than good. Case also was a forceful advocate for New Jersey\, working closely with his senate colleague Harrison Williams and other members of the state’s Congressional delegation to advance the state’s interests in Washington\, with particular emphasis on preserving and protecting the natural environment. Learn more about this fascinating figure from his biographer himself. \nWilliam R. Fenekes (B. A.\, M. A.\, Ed. D.\, Rutgers University) taught social studies and Spanish from 1974-1987 at Hunterdon Central Regional HS in Flemington NJ\, and then served as supervisor of social studies at Hunterdon Central 1987 to his retirement in December 2010. He received his doctorate in social studies education and curriculum in 1985. He is the author of many articles and books\, including his comprehensive biography\, Clifford P.

SUMMARY:When Bipartisanship Mattered: The Life and Career of US Senator Clifford P. Case
DESCRIPTION:Bob Fernekes \nApril 14\, 2024\, at 2:00 PM  \n“When Bipartisanship Mattered: “The Life and Career of US Senator Clifford P. Case” \nFor 33 years in the U. S. Congress\, nine in the House and twenty-four in the Senate\, Clifford Case was a powerful voice for civil and human rights\, environmental protection\, ethics in government and a global role for the U.S. in combating the spread of communism and promoting democracy. Case was determined to uphold honesty and integrity in government\, introducing legislation on financial disclosure years before it was required by law\, while pursuing an end to the Vietnam War when it became clear U.S. policy was causing more harm than good. Case also was a forceful advocate for New Jersey\, working closely with his senate colleague Harrison Williams and other members of the state’s Congressional delegation to advance the state’s interests in Washington\, with particular emphasis on preserving and protecting the natural environment. Learn more about this fascinating figure from his biographer himself. \nWilliam R. Fenekes (B. A.\, M. A.\, Ed. D.\, Rutgers University) taught social studies and Spanish from 1974-1987 at Hunterdon Central Regional HS in Flemington NJ\, and then served as supervisor of social studies at Hunterdon Central 1987 to his retirement in December 2010. He received his doctorate in social studies education and curriculum in 1985. He is the author of many articles and books\, including his comprehensive biography\, Clifford P.
