Memorial Day History Explains Origins Of National Holiday
T
hree years after the Civil War ended, on May 5, 1868, the head of an organization of Union veterans — the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) — established Decoration Day as a time
for the nation to decorate the graves of the war dead with flowers. Maj. Gen. John A. Logan declared that Decoration Day should be observed on May 30. It is believed that date was chosen because flowers would be in
bloom all over the country. The first large observance was held that year at Arlington National Cemetery, across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C. The ceremonies centered around the mourning-draped veranda of the Arlington mansion, once the home of Gen. Robert E. Lee. Various Washington officials, including Gen. and Mrs. Ulysses S. Grant, presided over the ceremonies. After speeches, children from the Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Orphan Home and members of the GAR made their way through the cemetery, strewing flowers on both Union and Confederate graves, reciting prayers and singing hymns. Local Observances Claim To Be First Local springtime tributes to the Civil War dead already had been held in various places. One of the first occurred in Columbus, Miss., April 25, 1866, when

a group of women visited a cemetery to decorate the graves of Confederate soldiers who had fallen in battle at Shiloh. Nearby were the graves of Union soldiers, neglected because they were the enemy. Disturbed at the sight of the bare graves, the women placed some of their flowers on those graves, as well. Today, cities in the north and the south claim to be the birthplace of Memorial Day in 1866. Both Macon and Columbus, Ga., claim the title, as well as Richmond, Va. The village of Boalsburg, Pa., claims it began there two years earlier. A stone in a Carbondale, Ill., cemetery carries the statement that the first Decoration Day ceremony took place there on April 29, 1866. Carbondale was the wartime home of Gen. Logan. Approximately 25 places have been named in connection with the origin of Memorial Day, many of them in the South where most of the war dead were

buried. Official Birthplace Declared In 1966, congress and President Lyndon Johnson declared Waterloo, N.Y., the “birthplace” of Memorial Day. There, a ceremony on May 5, 1866, honored local veterans who had fought in the Civil War. Businesses closed and residents flew flags at half-staff. Supporters of Waterloo’s claim say earlier observances in other places were informal, not community-wide or one-

time events. By the end of the 19th century, Memorial Day ceremonies were being held on May 30 throughout the nation. State legislatures passed proclamations designating the day, and the Army and Navy adopted regulations for proper observance at their facilities. It was not until after World War I, however, that the day was expanded to honor those who have died in all American wars. In

continued from front page 1971, Memorial Day was declared a national holiday by an act of Congress, though it is still often called Decoration Day. It was then also placed on the last Monday in May, as were some other federal holidays. Some States Have Confederate Observances
Many Southern states also have their own days for honoring the Confederate dead. Mississippi celebrates Confederate Memorial Day on the last Monday of April, Alabama on the fourth Monday of April, and Georgia on April 26. North and South Carolina observe it on May 10, Louisiana on
June 3 and Tennessee calls that date Confederate Decoration Day. Texas celebrates Confederate Heroes Day January 19 and Virginia calls the last Monday in May Confederate Memorial Day. Gen. Logan’s order for his posts to decorate graves in 1868 “with the choic-

Let no neglect, no ravages of time, testify to the present or to the coming generations that we have forgotten as a people the cost of a free and undivided republic.” The crowd attending the first Memorial Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery was approximately the same size as those that attend today’s observance, about 5,000 people. Then, as now, small American flags were placed on each grave — a tradition followed at many national cemeteries today. In recent years, the custom has grown in many families to decorate the graves of all departed

House Commission on the National Moment of Remembrance. The commission’s charter is to “encourage the people of the United States to give something back to their country, which provides them so much freedom and opportunity” by encouraging and coordinating commemorations in the United States of Memorial Day and the National Moment of Remembrance. The National Moment of Remembrance encourages all Americans to pause wherever they are at 3 p.m. local time on Memorial Day for a minute of silence to remember and honor those who have died in service to the nation. As Moment of Remembrance founder Carmella LaSpada states: “It’s a way we can all help put the memorial back in Memorial Day.”
loved ones. The origins of special services to honor those who die in war can be found in antiquity. The Athenian leader Pericles offered a tribute to the fallen heroes of the Peloponnesian War more than 24 centuries ago that could be applied today to the 1.1 million Americans who have died in the nation’s wars: “Not only are they commemorated by columns and inscriptions, but there dwells also an unwritten memorial of them, graven not on stone but in the hearts of men.” To ensure the sacrifices of America’s fallen heroes are never forgotten, in December 2000, the U.S. Congress passed and the president signed into law “The National Moment of Remembrance Act,” P.L. 106-579, creating the White

First Relay For Life Of Florham Park Set For May 20
F
inal planning is underway for the American Cancer Society’s first Relay for Life of Florham Park and the Hanovers on May 20. Local residents will join together at Hanover Park High School from 3 p.m.10 p.m. to fundraise for this cause. In addition to walking or running the track relay-style, the afternoon/ evening includes activities and a number of special celebrations remembering all those who have battled cancer, as well as those who continue to fight this disease. The keynote speaker is Dr. William DeRosa, chief of Oncology Services for the new MD Anderson Cancer Center, set to open at 150 Park Ave, Florham
Park in Spring 2018. Another event highlight is the Survivor Celebration dinner, open to all survivors and their caregivers. There will also be music, games and food throughout the event. Though this is the first Relay for Florham Park and the Hanovers, Relay For Life began in 1985 and is the world’s largest cancer fundraiser, raising more than $400 million annually. Funds help provide free information and support for people in the local community and fund groundbreaking cancer research. “No one understands how vital these services are more than our cancer survivors,” says Florham Park resident and Event Chair Michele LeSueur.
“I am thrilled to be part of making a difference right here in our own community.” Locally, more than $10,000 has been raised for this event so far. Many local businesses are sponsoring the event, including Novartis of East Hanover and Retro Fitness in Florham Park. There are still many opportunities to get involved in this year’s event and help make a difference. To donate or join the relay, please go to www.relayforlife.org/ florhamparknj. To volunteer, visit http:// signup.com/go/BksM9S. To attend the Survivor Celebration Dinner, please RSVP to Angie Gokhman at angie.gokhman@gmail. com.

County Officials Get Wheels Rolling To Halt Drug Addiction
By Cheryl Conway new initiative launched in Morris County last month is bringing services directly to local individuals struggling with addiction. The Morris County Sheriff’s Office Community Services Unit, in partnership with the Morris County Department of Human Services, the Mental Health Association of Morris County, Morris County Prevention is Key and its Center for Addiction Recovery Education and Success, launched Hope One Mobile Recovery Access Center on Mon., April 3, at the Morristown Green. Hope One, a white van traveling to different locations twice weekly throughout the county, is serving as a mobile recovery access center to provide critical support for those addicted to drugs. As a means to address the rise in opioid related deaths, the goal of Hope One is to help prevent drug overdoses and deaths in Morris County, especially to individuals who are alone and do not know
where to run for help. “I compare it to the model of the book mobile,” explains Morris County Sheriff James M. Gannon. “We are providing services into the community,” to those of all ages “who are at risk, have no place to go, have no support.” Gannon came up with the idea for Hope One while meeting with individuals in 2016 during his campaign for sheriff. “I spoke to the people in the community and one of their top concerns was the opioid epidemic. It affects all ages. It’s not an issue that just affects children; it’s an issue that affects everyone,” with fatalities ages 17 to 79 in Morris County, says Gannon. “I said let’s take it on the road,” says Gannon. “I have a vehicle; take off police marks; let’s bring services to the people.” The priority areas include “at risk populations” such as the homeless, soup kitchens and “places where people are known” to be using opioids, says Gannon. The vehicle, which previously had been used for
tactical operations, “looks like an old bread truck,” describes Gannon. It is a white van with purple ribbon. “Purple is for recovery,” says Gannon. “We go out with a few folks in plain clothes, licensed clinician, certified peer recovery specialist, someone whose walked the walk;” who is closer to the problem, can speak with people, can offer them one on one. “Our belief in recovery begins with conversation,” says Gannon. With that in mind, a licensed clinician and a certified peer recovery specialist is staffing the Hope One center. “These individuals understand the needs of those who suffer from addiction and they will be best equipped to deal one on one with members of our communities,” the press release states. Hope One staff will have pre-established services and available beds at various treatment centers for potential clients. The team will be equipped to connect the client with the appropriate services and/or facility and arrange for im-
mediate transportation. “I’m not here to take you to jail,” says Gannon. “I’m here to take you to the road to recovery. This is about getting those struggling with addiction off the street, and immediately connected with services, with the goal of returning them to be productive members of society and drug free. What makes this program unique is that the Hope One mobile recovery access center services are client driven. We travel to the client; they do not come to us. In addition, we are removing many of the barriers, which often times prevent our people, as well as family members, the ability to get the necessary help and into rehab. It is all about Hope.”
G
The Hope One mobile recovery access center is equipped with various resources and pre-established connections to critical services including treatment, recovery support and behavioral health, according to a press release. On board is food, coffee, a charging station and cell phone chargers, says Gannon. Since its first trip on April 3, Hope One has contacted 250 people and has placed seven in treatment centers in Morris County and beyond, says Gannon. The van goes out for five hours a day on Mondays and Thursdays to all cities in the county. “These are cold calls; we go out into the commu-
nity without knowing anyone,” says Gannon. “If it’s quiet we’ll move to another location.” The cost to run this program is about $300,000, says Gannon. Officials submitted a grant to the Federal Bureau of Justice. Until then, Hope One is being paid for by money seized from Morris County drug dealers through the Drug Forfeiture program. “Drug dealers are paying for drug users,” says Gannon. The numbers of opioid related deaths are up considerably this year as compared to this same time in 2016, Gannon confirms. During the first three months this year in Morris continued on page 5

Halt Drug Addiction...
continued from page 4 County, there were 24 fatal opioid overdoses, compared to nine in the first quarter of 2016, says Gannon. In addition, during the first quarter of 2017, Narcan was administered by the police in Morris County 45 times, compared to 122 times in the calendar year of 2016, according to the press release. CARES is offering free Narcan kits and training to the public on the Hope One vehicle. People on site are being trained to save a life, explains Gannon. This could be a family member or friend of an addict. “They are getting kits and learning how to use it,” he says. Hope One is an affective program, Gannon says.
“The difference is this. “It’s wonderful to have hotlines; it’s great to have programs,” but difficult for those who have an addiction to navigate, to call a hotline or find a website for help. “It’s very difficult for someone suffering an addiction,” says Gannon. “We are coming on location and providing these services, as long as the person is willing to take that first step, those willing to get treatment. We go to them, we don’t wait for them to come to us.” Gannon says the program is successful so far because of all its supporters. “The support that I’ve received from Morris County Adminstrators, Department of Human Services, Chief of Police As-
sociation, CARES, that’s why it’s so successful.” The Morris County prosecutor, “he recognized opioids as a disease.” Louis A. Schwarz, president and CEO of the Mental Health Association of Morris County, says “Hope One is truly a unique partnership between law enforcement and the addiction and mental health communities in truly addressing the deadly problem of drug abuse in our community. We are looking forward to serving people where they are: on the streets, in shelters, in motels, and in other places where people are drinking and drugging.” Morris County Prosecutor Fredric Knapp says, “The cost in human lives has been devastating due to the ongoing heroin and opi-
oid epidemic. The Morris County Prosecutor’s Office has been at the forefront educating the public as well as employing traditional law enforcement efforts with our municipal, county, state and federal partners in battling this scourge. We must now, even more importantly focus our efforts on destigmatizing addiction and providing treatment for those plagued by this disease. The recovery coach program we are embarking upon is focused on that urgent need. The efforts of Sheriff Gannon are commendable in this unique approach battling addiction.” Peer Recovery Specialist Alton Robinson said, “This is a win-win for all involved. Never in Morris County has there been such
an innovative initiative to give individuals the opportunity to be heard and have access to services they otherwise would not have had. We are offering individuals hope!” If a person in need of services sees the vehicle, Gannon says “flag us down. Call the sheriff’s office if you want us to come to you: 973-285-6600. Hope
One welcomes anyone affected by addiction and behavioral health to look out for the truck. The folks requiring services will be brought to a treatment facility or program, and not jail. We’re here for you,” stated Gannon. For further information on CARES, contact 973625-1143.

Beloved Former Mayor Honored In Upcoming Municipal Building Renaming
O
By Ann Marie Barron ne of Florham Park’s most beloved mayors, Ralph Loveys will be honored July 4, when the town council names the municipal building in his honor. Loveys, who died Feb. 22 at the age of 87, served for 16 years as an elected borough official in Florham Park, and is credited with spearheading many of the town’s most significant municipal projects. “The best way to say it is that he had a vision for Florham Park and he created a master plan to accommodate that vision,’’ said Scott Carpenter, a town council member who supported the measure. “He was just a very dynamic leader, a forthright individual who
truly cared about Florham Park.’’ Loveys served in an elected position from 1968 until 1983. During that time, he served eight years as a councilmember, four years as president and eight years as the town’s mayor. In addition to leading the construction of the municipal building that will be renamed in his memory, Loveys oversaw construction of the Florham Park Library, the municipal garage, the relocation of the landmarked Little Red Schoolhouse to the intersection of Columbia Turnpike and Ridgedale Ave., and several significant road projects. Not only did Loveys have a solid vision, he had the experience and demeanor to get things accom-
plished, Carpenter said. He was always available when guidance was needed, said Carpenter. “He was just a very amenable person to work with,’’ Carpenter said. “He was a tremendous leader. Any time you needed advice or you needed to kind of get something moving; if you had a thought, talking to Ralph would set you on the right path.’’ Loveys is credited, too, with respecting the town’s open space during years of development, preserving natural areas such as Emmett Park, Brooklake, the lake the at Spring Garden and Pinch Brook golf courses. Loveys’ son, Jim, said his family is grateful for the gesture, which perfectly re-
flects his father’s dedication to the town. “The honor that they’ve bestowed upon him, and us knowing that his memory will live on in perpetuity in the borough that he loved so dearly, is heartwarming and provides us all great comfort,’’ said the younger Loveys, who lives in Randolph and serves on the town council there. “He always loved Florham Park. He was always a very firm believer in volunteerism. He always talked about the spirit of volunteerism in Florham Park.’’ The elder Loveys also served in the state Assembly, representing the 26th District, for six years, and served as chair of the New Jersey Turnpike Authority under former Gov. Tom
Kean. In 2008, he founded the Ralph A. Loveys Charitable Foundation, which has given significantly to various charities through the years. Loveys also spent several years volunteering in town and served as a Little League Baseball umpire. The municipal building will get new lettering, Carpenter said, and the dedication is slated to take place during the town’s Fourth of July Parade and celebration, a fitting tribute, his family said. The parade culminates at the borough hall, where a barbecue, rides and other festivities will take place. It’s fitting that the celebration will take place near the town gazebo, a project Loveys was particularly passionate about, and one
which was developed entirely through fundraising and at no cost to taxpayers. “He always envisioned a central gathering place where the community could come together and enjoy the arts,’’ said his son. “He took great pride in that. The volunteer fire department constructed it, but it was his vision and his push and his fundraising efforts that got it done.’’

IMPLANT DENTISTRY For over twenty years, implant dentistry has been a reliable option for patients with missing teeth. With the ability to support a crown, an implant procedure has the capacity to bypass drilling the adjacent teeth. Additionally, with the recent availability of mini implants, implant dentistry has expanded its utilization to anchoring both full and partial dentures for a more secure fit. As they provide an economic alternative, patients have been very receptive of mini implants, as they make eating and speaking with dentures much easier. Dr. Helen Chiu has always been involved in implant dentistry, making it an integrated part of her everyday practice. From replacing a single tooth, inserting crowns or bridges, securing dentures, to creating multiple, full-arch reconstructions, she performs every step of each process, surgical and restorative.

Millburn Woman Records Testimonies Of Terminally Ill To Pass On Memories To Loved Ones
By Ann Marie Barron erry Glass of Millburn spends most of her days piecing together priceless memories for others to leave behind. Through her brainchild, Memories Live, a not-forprofit enterprise she runs independently in Millburn, she helps terminally ill people capture their experiences, personalities and wisdom through custom-made movies they can pass on to their loved ones. “It’s an opportunity for them to leave a piece of themselves behind, to share their personal history and family history and tell about what made them into who they are,’’ says Glass, 44, who holds a bachelor’s degree in fine arts with a focus on videography and photography and a minor in psychology from Rutgers University as well as a master’s degree in art therapy from Pratt Institute, New York City. The idea was hatched when a young mother in a neighboring community died of lung cancer, leaving behind a husband and children under the age of five. “It struck me, as a mother of young kids, that these kids would never know the sound of their mom’s voice,’’ Glass says. “They’d never know advice she had to share. I thought, ‘what if I could help people leave a piece of themselves behind?’’’ She then reached out to
a friend who had lost his mother when he was young. What did he think of the idea? He said it would have been a wonderful thing to have and he wished he’d had something like that to remember his mother by, she recalled. A few calls to area hospitals, hospices, nursing homes in the Millburn area, and Memories Live began. That was more than six years ago. Now a full-time job for Glass, most of the work gets done while her two children are in school, during evenings and on weekends. When she first began, she handed subjects a 20page questionnaire, though people told her it was a bit too much. “Now I have one page of questions for them,’’ she says. “I have all those other questions in my head, so it’s not so overwhelming.’’ Her clients’ average age is 55, and the youngest subject she’s filmed was 22 years old. “I really only offer this to adults,’’ she says, noting that it is most valuable to those who are leaving behind very young family members. “It’s for the child who didn’t’ get to know their parents,’’ she says. “They may see parts of their parents in themselves that they might not have been able to see, a dimple, the way they like their coffee; it will hopefully fill some kind
of void, preserve a memory. Those of us who are so blessed to have our loved ones here take it for granted.’’ July will mark her seventh year in business. To date, she’s filmed more than 130 individuals. The only requirement is for a subject to have a life-limiting, terminal illness. “I don’t ask for a doctor’s note,’’ she says. “I just go with ‘”honesty is the best policy.’’’ Glass said she’s willing to travel anywhere within a two-hour radius of her Millburn home. She funds her enterprise through grants, donations and an annual fundraiser, which took place last month. There is no charge for her service. When she sits down with a subject, usually in their home, the conversation is wide-ranging. “We’ll start talking about grandparents, memories of grandparents,’’ Glass explains. “Then, we’ll talk about their childhood, fond memories, schooling, college and advice for high school, advice for them to share about college, about your first job interview. We touch on every stage of life. Then, I’ll ask them about what makes them, them – favorite foods, season, music, holiday - all the things that mold them into who they are.’’ Glass then spends hours combining the interview footage with music and family photos, creating a

meaningful movie. The final product is delivered to the family in DVD format. The job can be at times painful and emotionally draining, she admits. “It affects me if I’m sitting across the camera from someone my age who has kids my kids’ age,’’ she says. “But, I walk into these people’s homes as a stranger and I leave as a friend. It’s really rewarding, and people are so grateful that the good outweighs the bad.’’ Glass is hoping to acquire some funding through a contest she entered with a local Keller Williams Real Estate Agency, which is offering to donate proceeds from their 100th home sale
to a local charity. Twelve non-profits are competing for $20,000 in prize money, to be divided among the top vote getters in an online contest. To vote for Memories Live, visit sueadler. com.
Anyone interested in having a movie made, should call 646-245-1698; email Glass at Kerry. glass@memorieslive.org; or visit the website, www. memorieslive.org.

by Frank Minutolo he Coach is a new column that will be run monthly for business owners and individuals working for companies who want to continue learning so they can advance their careers. The publishers believe that independent businesses are one of the most important factors in our country’s job growth and economic success. Some of the areas we will be covering in this column are: Problem Solving, Goal Setting, Increasing Sales, Motivation, Time Management, etc. If you have an area you would like addressed or have a question now you can ask Frank Minutolo, The Coach, by emailing him at tsg973@ aol.com. The topic for to-
day is Problem Solving. Problem solving- must be written and not verbal. We have a specific approach to problem solving that I would like to share with you. When there is a problem it is important to be specific. Anyone in the company claiming there is a problem needs to follow this procedure in detail. What is the problem? Explain with specifics. The most important step in problem solving is defining the problem properly. This is the most critical step. The problem must be clearly defined and oftentimes doing this leads to the resolution. In defining the problem we should explore all possible causes of the problem. Do not just list the
The Coach
symptoms but look deeply for the “root cause” of the problem. This oftentimes requires a detailed analysis of the situation. How does it affect our business? Does it have a material effect on our business? How? Is it something that is a personal annoyance to you as opposed to a business problem? Can we quantify it? How do we measure it? What is the dollar impact? If it’s time we are talking about, how much time? Once you have done this then we expect you to explore solutions and list them. Don’t stop at one but list all the possible solutions you can think of. Do not jump to an obvious conclusion. Take time to list
all possible solutions. Once this is done you can then determine which are the best solutions for the problem at hand. Final step: Which solution would you recommend and why? How to implement solu-
tions? What is needed to implement the solution? Do you have the resources to put this idea into action? If it cannot be implemented then there is no reason to pursue it. Test the solution. If we put a solution in
ATTENTION BUSINESS OWNERS
place, what are the negative results that can come from it? Sometimes the reaction or response to a solution may create another problem. This has to be considered. When this is complete and you have the best solution…Do it!

Local Priest Accomplishes “More Than Expected” In 50 Years
F
By Stefanie Sears ather Louis Caputo is celebrating his 50th anniversary as a priest, also known as the Golden Jubilee. Caputo is currently stationed at the Vocationist Fathers in Florham Park since the development’s 1988 conception. He also is a parochial vicar at St. Nicholas Roman Catholic Church in Palisades Park, where he has reinstated the Vocationist Apostles of Universal Sanctification and the Friends of Father Justin’s groups. Caputo, who grew up in Naples, entered the Vocationary seminary there at age 12 in September 1953. His inspiration to join the priesthood was rooted in the lack of priests at his parish
Roofing
St. Bartolomeo in Italy. According Caputo, joining the seminary at such a young age was very common at the time. “Everybody was flocking to the seminaries after grammar school, which went up to fifth grade in Italy in the small town villages,” Caputo explains of his childhood, “So to go to higher education, one either went to the seminary or to find lodging in the larger city. But I wanted to be a priest even before that. I felt that people were complaining. The people felt the need for a priest. Maybe that’s when it started, when I was maybe 9 or 10 years old. I saw it as a need. There’s somebody missing in town without the priest. There are many small towns that real-
LUIGI
ly can’t have a priest all to themselves.” Caputo made his religious vows in October 1959 and began his theological studies at the Pontifical University of St. Luigi. He completed his lyceum undergraduate studies in 1962 and then came to America in 1965 where he again completed his studies at the Seminary of the Third Order Regular of the Franciscan Fathers in Loreto, Pa., in 1967. Finally, he was ordained at the Sacred Heart Cathedral in Newark on May 27, 1967. Caputo has accomplished much throughout his 50-year career, especially involving education. While serving as a parochial vicar at St. James in Penns Grove, he studied at Glass-

But it was St. Michael’s where he had most of his memorable experiences. In 1977, Our Lady of Perpetual Help was merged with St. Michael’s and Father Louis was appointed parish Treasurer Director and school principal. About a decade later in June 1989 he was elected as St. Michael’s pastor. Wanting to improve St. Michael’s, under his pastorship they added to the school a third floor, which eventually consisted of benefits such as a large library, a computer lab, and music, to help increase the student body, bought property along Broadway to build a big parking lot for the church, and also renovated the rectory in 1995 by expanding it and building new offices, chapel, and the parish hall.
“They were wonderful years. I loved them all,” says Caputo. “We had plenty of opportunities there. The community really boomed because the Spanish were flocking there. Certainly it was one of the most active parishes in the Archdiocese. We brought the school to a population of 650 in 2000. It was 250 in 1977.” His additional achievements include when he was an U.S. Army chaplain from continued on page 20

In Penns Grove he taught Italian and Spanish and in Carney’s Point he taught Spanish and Latin. He continues his use of multiple languages nowadays by celebrating Mass in English, Italian, and Portuguese. Caputo spent a good portion of his life serving 27 years in Newark. In August 1973 he was transferred to Our Lady of Perpetual Help. He also continued teaching, this time English as a Second Language at Webster Junior High School, and worked in the Diaconate Program for the Archdiocese.

and help them to follow it.” This means taking this idea internationally. In 1985, Caputo began plans to start a vocationist mission in Africa and officially installed it in Nigeria in 1991. He was also in charge of the mission in India from 1996 to 2000. Other missions he sprouted are in Colombia, Madagascar, Indonesia, Chile, Ecuador, Indonesia, the Philippines, and the United Kingdom, among others. Of all of these, India is his favorite “because of the simplicity and the goodness of the people, the devotion to faith, and their honesty.” After his run as Superior General, he transferred to Rome to aide the Vocationist Fathers there. But of all of these, what
does he believe is his greatest legacy? Caputo points at a painting of Blessed Father Justin Russolillo hanging on the wall. “Father Justin,” he says, “Blessed Father Justin. He’s my inspiration and my social strength. He was the founder of our congregation. He was alive when I joined, so I lived two years in the same house with him before he died.” Russolillo was the founder the Society of Divine Vocations and Caputo had met him at the Vocationary all those years ago. Caputo was actually Russolillo’s fourth successor as Superior General of the congregation. “If I had to look at my accomplishments, the greatest has been publishing all of his writings,” Caputo says.
“I published 26 volumes of his writings in Italian and then six, seven volumes that I translated and published in English.” “Presiding over his beatification, the stage before sainthood, was I think the highlight of my priesthood,” continues Caputo. “Preparing and running the beatification ceremony was really something extraordinary of something you have known.” Having had such a fulfilled life, what is next on Caputo’s list? “I have accomplished much more than I expected,” he answers, “Honestly I am thankful that I am 76 years old and am still kicking. I’m still surviving and still happy and thankful to be around.”

or those men who like to sing in the shower or the car, or have sung in a school chorus, church choir or a community theater musical, turn that love of singing into a great hobby. “Give us six Tuesday evenings,” says Nate Barrett, musical director of The Morris Music Men, “and we’ll give you the skills you need to experience all the fun of solo or group singing.” The course, called “Ready, Set, Sing!” is taught by Barrett.

The next series of free Ready, Set, Sing! classes is set for Tuesday evenings from June 6 to July 18 at 7:45 p.m. at Gloria Dei Lutheran Church, Chatham. “You don’t even need to be able to read music,” director Barrett explains. “We’ll teach you everything you need to know to sing richly and resonantly and produce ear-pleasing harmony. You’ll soon be enjoying the ringing of beautiful a cappella chords, the company of a great bunch of fellow singers, and the thrill of performing for enthusiastic audiences.” Registrations are being accepted now. To register,
or to learn more, call Mike Yodice at 848-459-6783 or email him at yodes89@ gmail.com. The Morris Music Men is a chapter of the 26,000-member Barbershop Harmony Society.

Funding has been made possible in part by funds from Morris Arts through the New Jersey State Council on the Arts/Department of State, a Partner Agency of the National Endowment for the Arts.
