ThomasPowers Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I graduated from HS in 1975 from Holmdel High, Holmdel NJ, (exits 114 and 117 on the GSP) Welcome! I'm out in New Mexico now, much drier, no good seafood; but great Southwestern food! A bit higher too, my town is down in the valley so it's only about 4444 feet above sealevel.
