Hackensack Discussion / Greetings Hackensack!
« on: June 06, 2011, 11:01:20 PM »
My name is Rick and in case you are wondering who I am I happen to be the son of Richard A. Nowakowski My father graduated Hackensack High School in 1957 and his father was the late mayor of Hackensack in the late 50's early 60's his name is Walter E Nowakowski, My great-grandfather came from Klimetow Poland and he immigrated in 1907 to NY at Liberty Island who then was the first of our family tree to have put their seed in Hackensack NJ!
I have never lived in Hackensack but I remember the times of my youth visiting the beautiful city and I recall during the early 1970's eating a B&W crumb cake and eating mussels and a pizza at the Old Judge. I'm sure the city has changed like everything but I was curious to know if anyone in this forum remembers these people?
I do have an Aunt who currently lives in Northern New Jersey by the name of Regina Sterns Nowakowski and finally, Albin Nowakowski of Maywood, N.J. my great uncle or brother of Walter E Nowakowski
Thank you,
Sincerely,
Rick Nowakowski
*Hackensack trivia- Were you aware that the street "Tracy Place" was named after my sister? My grandfather almost named the court in my name but it "fell through" during city planning and was to be named"Ricky Court"
