December 18, 1998 This section of the site is dedicated to the geneology of my maternal grandmother Maguerite Ray Albertson. Marguerite died before I was born and I know her only from pictures. I imagine she had a rough time bringing up four children as a young widow in the Great Depression. She was from Bridgeton, New Jersey, a place I visited once, not knowing it was her home. I fell in love with the area -- beautiful South Jersey farmland. When I win the lottery (which is not going to happen since I don't play) I'm going to buy a farm down there and when I need some big-city diversion I'll set up a produce stand at a Philadelphia or Brooklyn at farmer's market, just like the Saturday Farm Market at Grand Army Plaza by my home, where I am always careful to visit the farm stand from Bridgeton. I haven't gotten up the courage to ask the propietor if he knows any Albertsons still in that place.
