By Jack Cervetto—1908-1995: Jack Cervetto was not unique to having made a living in the pine barrens of New Jersey. What distinguishes him from hundreds of others is the fact that he reflected on his life in his later years and recorded his memories. He set goals for himself and his community, provided the leadership that was needed to accomplish a desired end, and was well-liked and respected by his associates, whether leading a deer hunt or debating an issue at a meeting of the Stafford Township Board of Education. -

By Ocean County Historical Society: See the people, places and events that have defined the city of Toms River and its surrounding area since the early 1700s. Located on the banks of the river of the same name, Toms River was first settled in the early 1700s by loggers drawn to the dense forests on the river's banks. During the American Revolution, the village was a constant thorn in the side of the British, and it was attacked and burned to the ground in 1783. The arrival of the railroads in the late 1800s ushered in a new age of expansion which, spurred on by the construction of the Garden State Parkway in the decade after World War II, continues to this day. See for yourself how it all came about with over 200 carefully-selected photographs. -
