Remember Phil May, Jr. who passed away on January 21?

February 5, 2022 by Blogfinger

Phil May used to organize bus trips for Grovers to see Broadway shows. Paul Goldfinger photo.  How many Grovers can claim to have brought pure happiness to town?

 

September 2012. This trio of big time girls traveled by bus to see a show on Broadway  sponsored by the OG Historical Society and organized by Phil May. 
Paul Goldfinger photograph in the Theater District. They saw “Nice Work If You Can Get It” which  won two Tony’s in 2012.
A bus trip into New York  was a wonderful neighborhood idea;  perhaps it could be resurrected in the future—one small step for small town OG.

On February 7, 2022,  Blogfinger will re-post our interview with Phil May regarding the history of our Civil War canon in Founder’s Park.

He was an important and innovative citizen of Ocean Grove, and that history will also be told.
