Janice Hosbach:  

Since graduating from Morse H.S. in 1964, I moved back east to New Jersey (no jokes please), and attended x-ray school at Mountainside Hospital in Montclair, N.J. I graduated from Mountainside in 1968, and my next stop was Princeton, NJ. For the next 3 years I worked as an x-ray technologist at Princeton Hospital, and partied at Princeton University (it wasn't co-ed back then). In 1971, I met my husband Albert on a blind date and we were married 3 months later. We were married for 32 years until Al suddenly passed away in June of 2003 from Acute Myloid Leukemia. I have 2 sons: Chris, age 49, & Craig, 45. For 20 years we lived along the Delaware River, in White Township, which is just outside of Belvidere, N.J., and rented out our house in Phillipsburg, NJ. It was great living along the river, except during floods. In fact, in 1996, we had the pleasure of removing four feet of the beautiful Delaware River from our basement. Although, it could have been worse. In 1955, the water was six feet deep in the living room. We never thought we'd get hit with anything worse than 1996 until Hurricane Ivan hit in Sept. 2004. This was followed by even worse flooding in April of 2005. Needless to say, we no longer live along the river. Chris was living in San Diego, CA, when Al passed away, and Craig was away at college in Bloomsburg, PA, and they both decided to come back home to live with me. But after the floods, the company that owned the river cottages decided that they were going to tear them all down and we had to move back into our house in Phillipsburg and spent the next six months doing extensive remodeling work. For 3 years Craig was the winemaker and production manager at a local winery just outside of Belvidere, NJ. He then move on to be the head wine...Expand for more
