Dr. Walter E. Boright
Dr. Walter E. Boright, historian and member of the Union County Historical Society, will be the featured speaker at the Society’s annual spring dinner to be held Sunday, April 10, 2016 at the Garden Restaurant located at 943 Magie Ave., Union.
His topic is “Reign of Terror – the Union County Bandits.” His Power Point presentation will address the gang of three bandits who lived in Roselle Park and Kenilworth. The trio caused a reign of terror throughout Union County from December 1920 to February 1921. The threesome committed a total of 21 hold ups of trolleys, automobiles, and business offices before captured following a bloody shoot out on Morris Ave. Dr. Boright has gone through considerable research to carefully document those events of 95 years ago.
Advanced reservations are encouraged as last year Dr. Boright’s presentation about Governors from Union County drew a capacity crowd.
Tickets are $32 person. Reservations with checks payable to UCHS are to be sent to William Frolich, 116 East 4th Ave., Roselle, NJ 07203. A choice of entre should be indicated: filet of salmon, pasta with sauce, or chicken saltimbocca.
