Written November 1978 

By Jessie Elizabeth Hardiman Tucker,

Mother of Mazie E. Cleary, grandmother of Dolores (nee Cleary) Raube, George F. Cleary Jr., and Bill Cleary 

I was born in Philadelphia, Pa at 505 Vine Street, one of seven children. They were: Michael, Mary, Jessie, twins, Frank (died age 2) and Helen (died age 6) both are buried in Old Saint Marys cemetery, Gloucester City NJ; second Helen died during flu epidemic (year?) and Joseph died July 1977. All have passed away but me. Born in the year 1890, I will soon be 89 years old on January 2, 1979.

An interesting TIP was received Friday, June 13 regarding Gloucester City Clerk/Administrator Paul Kain. The source said Kain was upset with City Councilman Nick Marchese, Finance Committee Chairman. And he wants the Mayor to replace the chairman with someone else on council.

I spoke to Mayor James about the remarks he said Councilman Marchese will remain as Finance Chairman. He added that the City is in the midst of contract negotiations with Kain. \”There are times when things become heated and that is to be expected.\”

Kain has been working without a contract since December 2006. He was appointed to the position of City Clerk/Administrator in April 2005 at a salary of $85,000. The contract called for annual raises of 3.5%.

Here is your laugh for the day!!!!
 

I was walking past the mental hospital the other day and all the patients were shouting, \”13 . . . . 13 . . . . 13.\” . . .

The fence was too high to see over but I saw a little gap in the planks, so I looked through it to see what was going on.

Some jerk poked me in the eye with a stick! Then they all started shouting \”14 . . . . 14 . . . . 14\” . . .

The Carbonnear Compass has a special section so that Newfoundlanders can congratulate Red wings forward \”Danny\” Cleary, the pride of Harbour Grace. Clearymania\’s swept Newfoundland, as the Compass\’s Bill Westcott notes:

June 12, Carbonnear Compass: \”Go Danny Go! Go Danny go! is the refrain heard far and wide, particularly in the Riverhead area of Harbour Grace. Even the other Danny rode on Cleary\’s wheel of fortune train – going so far as to visit Harbour Grace last week to watch game 5 on the large TV in the stadium lounge.
