2017-11-01- Hometown Histories (Stories Worth Remembering) - Remembering Joe Palaia - JohnHuss and Denise Palaia
Last year we lost our
longtime friend and colleague, Senator Joseph A. Palaia, Sr.
(1927-2016). Joe was well known to everyone in town, as a teacher
at Wanamassa School, and ultimately its Principal. He got involved
in politics here in the Township of Ocean, getting elected to the
Township Committee, and ultimately Mayor. He went on to the New
Jersey State Assembly, then the Senate, all the time remembering
where he came from.
And he never forgot the
people at the Township of Ocean Historical Society, and later the
Museum. He was always around to discuss situations with, aiding them
where he could, or finding people who could help.
John Huss, Museum Trustee
and longtime friend of Joe, discusses his life with Joe’s daughter
Denise Palaia and Museum President, Paul Edelson, who was also a longtime friend of Joe’s. They sit down with our Hometown
Histories crew to discuss Joe Palaia’s life.
Paul Edelson, Museum
President, is the host of this episode. Dallas Grove is Executive
Producer; Produced by Ted Dellinger and Joe Bove; Music is by Bill
Madden.
