LETTER to the Editor: A Big Cheer for Officer Daniel Jennings, 1930's Gloucester City Police Officer
Gentlemen:
Reading of the honors bestowed upon Officer Blackburn brought to mind a courageous act by Gloucester City Police Officer Daniel Jennings in the early 1930's.
At that time a bank on the S.W. Corner of King & Monmouth St's. was in operation. The bank was held-up at gun point and as the robbers attempted their escape by car Officer Jennings ran to the car, jumped upon the running board as it sped away and apprehended the robbers.
I would consider that an act of heroism worthy of note in the Gloucester City News and on CNBNews.net blog.

The weekend event was held in Millville . Alumni members from the Class of 1960, Class of 1961, Class of 1962, Class of 1963 and 1964 were in attendance.
I found this album of photos from the Gloucester High School Class of 1965 Class Reunion held at Wheaton Village in Millville on October 21, 1995. See how many of the faces you reconize without looking at the names.
The second album contains some scenic photos taken in March 2010, Anna Maria Pier, The Watefront restaurant, Cortez bridge, Holmes Beach sunsets and more

John Ryan, photographer, reporter and ad salesman for the Gloucester City News took these photos in the 1980's. John has since passed away.
Looking down from heaven John will be happy to see his photos are still being used.
