I love your sight. I was the Mayor of Butler New Jersey 07405 From August 1987 Until November 1987. I was also a Councilman in Butler NJ from January 1988 until December 1991. I got elected to Councilman a second time from January 1995 until December 1998. I'm now working for the Federal Aviation Administration and taking a break from politics My wife Judith Ann Emering was also elected to two 3 year terms as a County Committee Person for the fourth voting district in Butler NJ.

Thanks,
Charlie Emering

About three years ago a "Malinda" was looking for information about Frederick C. Wulff and his family. I am his granddaughter. Grandpa was the first superintendant of Grant park in Wisconsin. I was five years old when we went back to the park where my Dad was born and raised. It's still a beautiful park and Dad has wonderful memories of growing up there. I can be reached at Lindaleeswift@hotmail.com if Malinda would like more information.

Henning Blomen was the Socialist Labor caniddate for President in 1968. He apparently was a gadfly candidate in Massachusetts for many years.

According to the Boston Globe on July 20, 1993 ("HENNING A. BLOMEN, 83 WAS SOCIALIST PARTY ORGANIZER)," Blomen died at a nursing home in North Reading, MA in July, 1993.

Is there a better way to update the political graveyard?

I just came upon the Political Graveyard, in particular the Index to Politicians: Hooper. Whoever posted Ben W. Hooper (1870-1957) has him listed as Ben Walker Hooper of Cocke Co., TN. In his autobiography, The Unwanted Boy", Page 13, I quote - "So, on November 9, 1879, Ben Walter Wade, now transformed into Ben Walter Hooper, returned to Newport, the place of his unwelcome birth."

I hope this can be corrected.

hi

Can anyone come up with some great examples of prominent politicians who,when seeking higher office, imploded after press scrutiny and the unveiling of "skeletons in the closet"? Thanks.

As of July 2006, Tony Whitlow (now retired as WV Senator) is still alive and well. He did lose his brother Oakley Whitlow in December 2005, as well as several other family members in 2005.

I am researching the history of women who have served in the Delaware (state) General Assembly.

I am the Assistant Director of our Southern Utha HOG Chapter. July 8th, we are being visited by two members of the DAV, for a Unity 2007 Ride. There names are Dr. Greg Offringa and Chick Luther, both from Rhode Island, NY. They are riding across the country to raise awareness and to receive donations for the DAV. If anyone out there could assist in anyway, please contact me at opashd@beyondbb.com.

Thank you
