70-Year-Old Love Letters Found in Atlantic Highlands

- Category: News
ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS, NJ - They say true love can weather any storm. Even Superstorm Sandy could not take away the love that two people shared in the 1940's.
Dorothy Fallon is a Rumson native who in 1942 was a high school student preparing for a career in nursing. Throughout the 1940’s she maintained correspondence with her future husband Lynn Fallon, whom she married in 1948. She also had correspondence from soldiers and sailors she would treat during the war.
Cranston Dean, 22, of Atlantic Highlands, was helping friends in neighboring Highlands - clean up from the devastating effects of the flooding in their home. Each day he and his friends walked home on the Bayshore Trail along the water between the towns.
In the week after the storm, Cranston Dean and friends, Eric Silokowski, Brian Olafson, and Nick Barradale, all Atlantic Highlands, were walking home when they came upon letters, photos, and school memorabilia from a woman name Dorothy Fallon.
Unidentified photos found among the letters and other material belonging to Dorothy Fallon.
Ms. Bongiovi is Not A Criminal

Dear Editor,
After hearing about the recent heroin overdose of Stephanie Bongiovi, (the 19-year-old daughter of entertainer and philanthropist, Jon Bon
Jovi) I was relieved to learn the young lady received medical attention quickly enough to avoid death or permanent injury.
However, I was saddened to learn that police in the upstate New York town where she was attending college are now pursuing criminal charges against her for drug possession, in relation to the incident.
Ms. Bongiovi is not a criminal - but rather someone in need of health services. Given her parent's level of community involvement and financial resources, I am confident they will ensure she receives the very best treatment available.
It is wrong to prosecute someone for doing something that only hurts themselves, in addition to the authorities inappropriately plastering what is a private health and family matter all across the media.

The spontaneous brain-child of several local business leaders; Douglas Lentz, owner of Inlet Cafe and the Original Oyster, helped lead the effort by lining up several borough businesses, including Bahrs, Chilango's, Inlet Cafe, SeaStreak, ShoreGrafx and many others to provide food for the day. Lentz lost both his businesses and a home when flooding from Superstorm Sandy swept into Highlands. He says he will reopen the Inlet Cafe, but he is not sure about the reopening of the Original Oyster. There was no doubt about the feeling of goodwill spread through the crowd. "It's a good day," said Lentz.
