EDWARD WAHL
OF
THE MORRISTOWN AREA
OBITUARY
: This sweet, sweet man, Ed WAHL, died on Wed. AUGUST
2, 2006 at age 84. He was born in 1922 in Newark, NJ, the son
of a Physician and a teacher. The last story in this book sketches the
loving travel adventures of him and his 2nd wife, Florence.
He said, "My life has been a wondrous journey and a glorious one, my
career has been easy and the results often joyous. I've had the whole,
incredible 84 years. No complaint is possible and there's been not a
single regret."
He published more than seventy-five stories. Ed loved music and his
life of adventure. He inspired many as he saw and encouraged their
talents. Folks said that he was "a strong man and a gentle
man."
He
had a twinkle in his eye, a great heart, a sense of humor; I considered him
a friend. My wife, Lois Elizabeth, and I felt honored, yes honored, to
know him. (Tom J. Collins)

Many Great Books :
John Cunningham Receives 2003 Marcellus Hartley Dodge
Memorial Award
John Cunningham of Florham Park is being honored on
November 14, 2003 by the Great Swamp Watershed Association. He will receive the
Marcellus Hartley Dodge Memorial Award for his life-long commitment to
preserving and sharing the riches of New Jersey.
Cunningham has already published 46 books about New Jersey's history and
continues to update them, with the third edition of his history of Drew
University just published and his newest book, the story of Ellis Island due out
this fall. He has already begun work on his next project, a book about
Morristown and the impact of the terrible winter of 1779-80 on the Continental
Army.
Mr. Cunningham is a self-declared "swamper" and played a key role in
the fight to save the Great Swamp. He was the Master of Ceremonies at the Far
Hills Inn at one of the legendary meetings nearly 40 years ago. The room was
packed with local residents and dignitaries, Secretary of the Interior Stewart
L. Udall was there, and according to Helen Fenske, "John Cunningham handled
the meeting with incredible grace." Cunningham loves to go to the Great
Swamp for the sense of peace he gets just from being there, but also says
"I feel that the fight to save the Great Swamp has galvanized this region
in a very special way and for me that only adds to its appeal."
Cunningham has also written 18 documentary films including his Emmy
winning "Dreams of Distant Shores" about Ellis Island. His New Jersey
books have explored baseball, railroads, colleges and universities, farming, and
the Jersey Shore. He was a founder and second chair of the New Jersey Historical
Commission and served for six years as president of the New Jersey Historical
Society, the state's oldest and most prestigious historical group. At 87 years
old, he has no interest in slowing down and continues to be active in
conservation and preservation, making the history of New Jersey come alive.
The award will be presented at the Watershed Association's Annual Meeting and
Silent Auction on November 14, 2003 at Mead Hall, Drew University. Tickets are
available from the Watershed Association 973-966-1900 x 15.
The Great Swamp Watershed Association was founded in 1981 to protect the
environmental, cultural, and historical resources of the Great Swamp watershed
region. For information on becoming a member, and to learn about upcoming

"I love books. To me, opening a book is like opening a window to another
world. But this book is is an utterly unique creation. At over 130 pounds and
5x7 feet, Guinness World Records acknowledges Friendly Planet's Bhutan
as the world's largest published book. But it's less like a book and more like
an entire gallery show of enormous prints, packaged in an immense yet
browseable volume. The subject is the remarkable kingdom of Bhutan —
the grandeur of its gorgeous scenery, the wonderfully warmhearted people there,
and the serenity and special-ness that make Bhutan so unique."
For schools, libraries, museums, private collectors, and lovers of great
books, this may be the ultimate inspiration. Teams from MIT shot more than
40,000 photographs on expeditions to Bhutan, expeditions that pushed beyond
technological frontiers, and the book is being published by Friendly Planet,
a nonprofit charity, in order to raise funds for the schools and scholars there.
The suggested gift — $10,000 — is less than $100 per page for
museum-quality prints: this book is only offered to donors who make a tax-deductible
gift to support education in the world's special places. (For lesser
donations, there are fine art prints and a smaller but no less beautiful book).
This will be an extremely limited edition, and each book is produced on demand
expressly for the donor.
What follows is a summary of Friendly Planet's BHUTAN: information
about this incredible book, about the team that created it, press releases and
news articles, and an up to date summary of the project for patrons, sponsors
and supporters of Friendly Planet.
We couldn't be more proud to share a piece of paradise with you. Welcome to Bhutan.
Tashi Delek!
— Michael Hawley, on behalf of all the friends and colleagues who've
made this possible.

OBITUARY
MORRIS TOWNSHIP
John W. Rae, a noted and prolific author of Morris County
history, died Tuesday,
Nov. 25, 2003, at Morristown
Memorial Hospital. He was 81. The cause of death was a recent stroke and acute
leukemia.
In his last months, he worked diligently to complete a book on
the history of Madison, N.J., for Arcadia Publishing.
John W. Rae was born in Hoboken on Oct. 29, 1922.He grew up in Montclair and later moved to Madison where he
graduated from Madison High School. He went on to attend Rutgers University
where he majored in journalism. Mr. Rae worked for
the Hudson Dispatch and the Newark Evening and Sunday News for 30
years as a reporter, feature writer and bureau manager of their Morristown
office.
With the demise of the Newark News in 1971, he entered the
public relations field for a short time, before becoming Director of Public
Information for the County of Morris in 1973. He retired from that position
in 1991.
Developing an interest in historic preservation, which he
shared with his son, Chip, together they wrote Morristown's Forgotten
Past: The Gilded Age. The book was first
published in 1979 and went through six printings.
Later books authored by Rae include Mansions of Morris
County; The Mendhams; Picatinny Arsenal; and
a volume on East Hampton, Long Island.
Rae often lectured on Morristown and its fabled mansions in
the period of 1890-1929.
A resident of Morris Township for 50 years, he was a member
and past president of the Rotary Club of the Mendhams.
The above is from an obituary run in the DAILY RECORD - November 30,
