1998 CINDY'S GRADUATION AND ZACHARY'S BIRTH - SOME BUSY DAYS

Oh what a day this was. Cindy scheduled to Graduate at Boston College, and Laura scheduled to deliver her first child. You can't be in both places at once. What do we do.

Command decision: Dad will go to Boston. Cathy will keep him company and Gram will ride shotgun. This gang got out of Town with no problems and settled in to see the Graduation in blistering heat. When it was over Dad got some deserved rest, while Gram sneaked Cathy out for a few drinks at CHEERS. Well the facts here are correct. Nice memory.

While half the family was out of Town Mom took charge and went with Laura to deliver her #1. His name was Zachary.

Some pictures of the Stars of the Post appear below, although they were not actually taken on that date. We had to work some "Future Pictures" into our story from 1998. Here they are.

DENNIS BEYER APPOINTED "CHIEF PROBATION OFFICER"

 

After a 28 year career as a member of the Essex County Probation Department, Dennis was appointed Chief Probation Officer in Middlesex County, NJ.

The First Day on the job Dennis drove 47 miles to his new office in New Brunswick to find nobody came to work that day due to a major snow and ice storm. He made sure to add his name to the list of those to be notified in the event of future storms.

The Sun arose the following day and made everyday bright throughout the remainder of his career. 

1985 CINDY & SHERMAN

Everyone thought this picture was lost forever, but a certain Dad kept it from being eliminated.  It is roughly from the 1985.  The "Dad" still has the photo.

1970 FRANKLIN ST, BELVIDERE, NJ

Dennis and Lois did not live here long, but for two years Belvidere was their home. This was the year that Cheryl was born in nearby Phillipsburg, NJ. These pictures include Dennis Aunt Florence, as well as his Mom and Dad. Take a look in Lois's lap. That is Denise.

We have here a collection of pictures of Dennis' Dad - Herman W. Beyer. He retired after 37 years in 1969. He passed in Aug. 1974.

The earliest picture shows Herman as an Officer with the Newark P.D. in 1927. That's a long time ago.

July 8, 1967 is Dennis and Lois' Wedding date. It doesn't seem so long ago, but it has been fifty plus years now (as we start this blog with a 1970 start year).

During these years, Dennis & Lois, have had a lot of fun. The managed to raise a beautiful family of five daughters, and they also found time to Travel.

As this date rolls around once again, a peek at this old Wedding  picture rescued from the past.

When it's July Remember to yell out and say: "Happy Anniversary"  Dennis and Lois.

1955 DENNIS, DUKE AND THE OLD STUDEBAKER

This picture was taken at 6 Sheldon Terr.  in Newark. That is where Dennis and his brother, Richard. grew up. The dog was "found" running as a stray puppy. When nobody claimed him, he became DUKE. He is shaking hands with his buddy Dennis. Note the old Studebaker in the background.
