From the Time Capsule- Part 2

This photo had no identification on it. Aside from the inset of Rabbi Newberger, does anyone know who is in this photo?

From the Time Capsule

During the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Woodbridge Veterinary Group & Hospital on Monday, 7/28, a time capsule and a book of records found during construction was handed over to Sandy Goldberg, a past president who was there as a representative of the congregation. The book of records seemed to contain only the signatures of those attending the 40th anniversary dinner dance. The time capsule had a brief typewritten history of the congregation, some newspaper clippings and a photograph.

The capsule was found when work was being done in the area of the rabbi's study. Apparently it was in the wall behind the cornerstone.

Time Capsule Found

As many of you know, the building that housed Adath Israel for many years was sold, and major renovations were done to convert the building for use by a veterinary practice. I just heard from my mother Miriam Winograd that during the construction work a time capsule was found and is going to be opened in a ceremony tomorrow, Monday, July 28, at 10:30 am.

Would you you consider coming to an Adath Israel reunion in 2009? I'm willing to organize it (never having done one before) - maybe "down the shore" for a weekend in the spring or fall. If you're at all interested, leave a comment here or send me an email at sharoncpw@gmail.com

Al Cohen as Sgt. Schultz in Stalag 17

Al Cohen's acting talents and fluent German provided great comic relief in an otherwise serious drama.
He did require a pillow under his belt to achieve the classic Sgt. Schultz profile, though.
