Swanson says. “We were looking forward to Kittatinny and South Plainfield out in the Groups. That was kind of the mindset at that point. It was kind of like that (the sectional title) was a stepping-stone. The big goal was the group title and getting to wrestle South Plainfield again.”

The Group title wasn’t to be, but it didn’t dampen the season. Swanson says, “The good thing about Frank is I think he realized what he had. We had my class, and then the class behind us was really good, if not better individually than we were. We would go to assembled, and an additional 426 extra food items were donated to the Morris County Interfaith food pantry.

Each year, all eight NJSFWC districts in the state participate in the same Day of Service project. Past day of service projects include Covenant House, Embrella and NJ Veteran’s homes.

New Jersey State Federation of Women’s Clubs, founded in 1894, has its Headquarters on the Douglass Residential Campus, in New Brunswick. The college, formerly Douglass camps, and in the fall we would go out to the Edge (Amateur) Wrestling (School). We’d also go up to Blair (Academy) in the fall. They always had their doors open to us, and anything we learned he (Rogers) was willing to kind of let us teach it. As I said, he knew what he had, so sometimes he just had to manage the personalities rather than trying to overhaul what he needed to teach us.”

“Family,” Vernon says when asked for one word to describe the 2006-2007 Tigers. “All the time. We’re constantly together. We’re going to be lifelong friends.”
