The people in the photo are my aunt Sally Miller my uncle Joe\’s sister, her daughter Cathy, her granddaughter and great granddaughter. Sue, Anne, and brothers Denny, Jack, Joe, and Michael Barron. This information was sent to me today by Michael Barron my cousin of the Barron Iron Works of Gloucester,City.

Uncle Joe Barron is sadly missed by all the members of our extended family. I really miss my close family ties also and very good friends back in Gloucester City. But through the use of the computer we still manage to stay in touch all these years.

  The present system limits the chance of finding qualified residents who have an interest in serving in City government to run for office. The Wards system makes it even more difficult, as the candidate must live in that Ward to be able to serve in our form of government. 

 Earlier this year Mayor William James appointed an Advisory Committee to study the issue and make recommendations to change it. Besides the Mayor, the committee consisted of former Gloucester City mayor Robert Bevan, former Gloucester City mayor Walt Jost, Board of Education president Louisa Llewelyn, former Gloucester City police chief Ted Howarth, former Democrat Club president Bowie Johnson, Dale Baile, City Republican chairman Wil Levins, Jerry Murphy, Jean McLaughlin.
