Another family mention in the Nixon Park section of The Metuchen Recorder. My Aunt Bev. and Uncle Johnny lived in Tennessee briefly. I think they were stationed at the Fort Campbell base which was on the Tennessee/Kentucky border.

Items on the Foote family from the July 12, 1951 issue of The Metuchen Recorder

My Aunt Joyce (Joyce Adele Foote Luciani) gets a week long visit her good friend and cousin Janet Lee Golomb.  

Neat item where my grandmother, Ruth Evelyn Maitland Foote (1910-1996), and her daughter, Beverly Jean Foote Hibler (1930-2001), host a "plastic party." I assume this was a Tupperware party. One of the guests was my mother, Janice Maitland Foote Bonis (1933-2005). I remember my mom hosting a few Tupperware parties when we lived in Menlo Park, New Jersey in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
