"LIFE
IS NOT A JOURNEY TO THE GRAVE
WITH THE INTENTION OF
ARRIVING SAFELY IN A PRETTY AND WELL PRESERVED BODY,
BUT RATHER TO SKID IN BROADSIDE,
THOROUGHLY USED UP, TOTALLY WORN OUT,
AND LOUDLY PROCLAIMING WOW.... WHAT A RIDE !!!"
"Knowing
is not enough; we must apply. Understanding is not enough; we must
do.
Knowing and understanding in action make for honor.
And honor is the heart of wisdom."
Johann von Goethe
No
man owns history, therefore you should feel free to use anything
in this web site for any purpose you see fit. The only important
thing is that knowledge be preserved, made accessible, and
passed down to future generations. This site is not for profit and
proud of it, for to claim title to and profit from the actions of
those long gone seems to, at best, bogus, and at worst, immoral.
If left to the greedy, there would be no public domain-
Constitution and the Bible would be the property of an individual,
institution, or corporation. -- Phil Cohen.
"War
is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and
degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing
worth a war, is worse. A man who has nothing which he cares more
about than he does about his personal safety is a miserable
creature who has no chance at being free, unless made and kept so
by the exertions of better men than himself." - John Stuart
Mill
Martin
W. Baskow owned and
operated the Nine-Thirty-Nine
Bar at 939 Market Street
in Camden NJ in the 1960s. He was brutally murdered in his bar on
the morning of July 14, 1967. This case remains unsolved, 41
years later. If you have any information concerning this crime,
please e-mail
me. Your identity will
be kept confidential and there is a reward for information leading
to an arrest.
STILL
RELEVANT: At $35.00 each, the rolls of microfilm contain one
month of post-1920 Camden newspapers, the Post-Telegram in the
years through 1926, the Morning Post and Evening Courier
beginning in 1930, and in the late 1940s the combined
Courier-Post.
Donations
can still be made toward for the newly acquired scanner, or can
be directed to the month and year of Camden newspapers of your
choice, as long as they are available through the New Jersey
State archives. I'm also looking to upgrade to a new server
before the end of 2009, as the one we are on now is in its sixth
year of use.
Once
again, for all the millionaires reading this,
DVRBS Inc. is a registered 501c3 non-profit organization and
tax-deductible
donations can be made by check or
money order.
To
donate by check or money order, make them payable to DVRBS Inc.,

This
section had grown so large that I decided to dedicate a separate
page of links to all the pages about interesting people who have
lived in our city... a biographical section, as it were. The
"People of Note" section has been moved here, as well
as the "Camden Sports Hall of Fame", "Camden
Entertainment Hall of Fame", "Camden
Families" and the "Mayors of Camden"
sections. I have also moved the links and set up a new section
of links to Camden family web-pages both on this website and
elsewhere.
Nothing
has been removed...... I've just set up a separate section in
order to let THIS page load faster for those who are still using
dial-up connections.
As
always, suggestions, questions and comments are quite welcome.
Thanks to Jim Bessing and Mike Scheele for twisting my arm
(figuratively of course!) so I would get off my rump and get
this done!
I
don't try and never will try to hide who I am and what I believe.
This will sooner or later get me physically assaulted, cost me my
job, get this web site hacked, or some such nonsense.
Don't
be surprised.... everything that is a hairless biped is not
necessarily human. What happened to filmmaker Theo van Gogh in the
Netherlands, who was murdered for exposing the physical abuse of women
in the Islamic community, can happen in America... WILL happen
in America, and is being ENCOURAGED to happen in America by CAIR,
moveon, and like minded parties. If the same happens to me, don't
be surprised, do not mourn. DO BE ANGRY and DO TAKE UP ARMS.
