This Day in History: 1933-11-17
The annual Father & Son Dinner of the Ramapo Reformed Church, then called the Community Church, was attended by about ninety male parishioners. Mrs. Edward Scherer chaired the dinner committee. The entertainment featured a minstrel show directed by A. Gordon Miesse, some Irish songs by a recent Irish immigrant, twelve-year old James McCarthy, and some recollections of his experiences in Scotland by James Glasgow Sr. In addition to the main speaker of the evening, Rev. Victor Simmons of Glen Rock, some short talks were given by Havilah Smith, David Hopper and the Pastor Rev. Simpson. (Bristow)
