Hello All,
I no I am commiting every sin known to man kind, and that theses borads are for posting family infomation but I thought it is also for posting history information weather past or present. Those of you who know in the 1950/60/70 the Army Corps of Engineers and our Goverment bought up most of the land on either side of the Delaware River to construct a dam at Tocks Island. Well it would seem that they forgot 2 islands in there grand plan and now one of these islands is in threat of being developed for a 250 room convention center. The other unfortunately is a golf course.
