Yes, she is. Will be 94 years young on 6/30. Maiden name is Raczka. Her family had a corner store on the corner of Darcy and Wall in the Ironbound section. She ran on the track team.
They had Track back then? Did they run in sandals?

Not sure if it was an official "team" or what. May be difficult at this point to get to the bottom of it, unless @beaced was the hammer throwing champion of Newark in his high school days?Not that many women's teams back then.
From those days on, honoring his championship performance, for all NJ HS Hammer throwing competition a the Beaced Hammer is usedNot sure if it was an official "team" or what.

No I don't.If you were in the South Side Class of '42, then you were just a year behind Mayor Ed Koch. Do you recall him from those days, @beaced ?
Loved that School.On the SE corner of Johnson and Alpine.Steep hill with a traffic light at the bottom of Elizaberh Ave.Used to go sled riding when it had snowed.If t he light was green we would try to cross Elizabeth,if red we would turn up into a snow bank to stop.Got there one time and it was almost deserted. Turns out that one kid missed the light and got killed. None of us were too bright back then.Good for you Beaced
May you enjoy your 160th twice as much as you're enjoying this one
Old School all the way
Tried sledding down Bigelow… HELL NAH!!!!! Didn’t even make it to Elizabeth Ave because of the Milford Ave traffic.No I don't.
