Mark your calendars! On April 28, 2012 Liz Holste, former Kinnelon resident, skiing historian and author of Skiing In New Jersey? - whom you may remember from New Jersey, The Skiing State: History & Details - will be taking part in the Morris County Author's Day celebration.
The Morris County Author's Day takes place from 10 am to 2pm on April 28th at the Morris County Library which is located at 30 East Hanover Avenue in Whippany, NJ.
Check out this amazing list of Morris County authors! Notice Liz's name! Yeah!
Liz will be at the Morris County Author's Day selling copies of her book
"Skiing In New Jersey".
As Liz says, "Stop in and buy a few copies for your family and
friends. Looking forward to seeing you on April 28th. Please
feel free to spread the word about this great
event."
Please, do help get the word out.
P.S.: Emma has been exploring the Olympics at school and was delighted to realize that Olympic Gold skiing medalist Donna Weinbrecht lived locally. Although Liz has mentioned her to us, it has only just now 'clicked' for Emma what an amazing resource for talent - Olympic, skiing, and more - New Jersey is!

I believe the Donna Weinbrecht is speaking at Stonybrook Elementary School this week; there's a note on the public board on Boonton Ave. Her uncle lives in Bloomingdale, just a block from where we once lived.
Yes, New Jersey doesn't just grow great tomatoes. We've got lots of locally grown heros and talent: Meryl Streep, Christina Ricci, Laura Benanti (of course), Mike Catalano, Loretta Swit, Bud Abbott, Lou Costello, Jason Alexander, Count Basie, Bruce Springsteen, Jon Bon Jovi, Bobby Cannavale, Ray Liotta, Danny DeVito, Debra Harry, Christopher Reeve, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Brooke Shields, Andrew & Elizabeth Shue, Janet Evanovich, Bruce Willis, Jack Nicholson, Connie Francis, Michael Douglas, Jane Krakowski, Calista Flockhart, John Travolta, Kristin Davis and for those my age ... teen idol David Cassidy grew up in West Orange. Who knew?
That's just a small sample, but that's enough to prove that New Jersey has talent! Yes indeed.
Mary Beth, thanks for mentioning that Donna was coming to Stonybrook. Thanks to you, I was able to ask Emma and get confirmation - after the fact!
How did you come up with this amazing list of NJ talent? Wow...
Best,
CB
