The program will be approximately 1 hour in length. Cost is just $10 a head which can be paid in advance by check or at the campus.
Please confirm your attendance by January 8th by emailing hightsewhs@gmail.com with a cc to Cappy Stults at cstultsiii@gmail.com. Non-members may also attend. After you respond, you will be emailed confirmation and parking instructions.
If paying in advance, please make out the check to Hightstown-East Windsor Historical Society and mail it to 164 North Main Street, Hightstown, NJ 08520
Dr. Martin has been at Peddie since 1975 and teaches Latin. He has also been active in various historical society projects over the years.
