ABOUT SOME PEOPLE (continued)
The Zeller Family: Owned and operated the Blue Hill Tavern on Orangeburg Road where people came from miles around to feed on "Blue Hill Pizza". Was our favorite eating spot.

"Lou" Hashagen: lived in the house next to the firehouse. He was the only roofer in the area. Probably put a roof on most every house in town at one time or another. The town now owns the house, and, I believe, uses it for the DPW office.

Danny O' Neill was a radio personality and a great Irish tenor who lived for a couple of years on Poplar Road. The back of his house backed up to the River Vale Country Club, where he spent most of his time anyway. You can still hear some of his records being played on the radio around St. Patrick's Day. During the mid to late '30's many well-known people would come to Handwerg's River Vale Country Club and play golf there or just hang out for the day. It was the best "open" golf course in Northern New Jersey and people such as Jack Benny, Fred Allen, The Dorsey Brothers, Benny Goodman, Barry Wood, Rocky Graziano, Joe Louis and many, many more personalities, whose names I have forgotten, found that place as a great spot to relax on a weekend. In the days of radio, much of the entertainment came from New York City.

August Quantmeyer: lived two houses east of school number 1. He was a member of the Board of Education and must have been the paymaster or whatever it was called. About once a month our door would pop open and in would come Mr. Quantmeyer. He would walk briskly over to the teacher, hand her an envelope, do an about face and just as quickly he was out the door.
