Chanse Durnil: My great grandmother was Anna Greenfield who delivered my aunt at this house and my mom and her sisters grew up there, I even lived there until I was three. So much family history in that house, we call it "the big house." It's now the house next door to me.

Jacquelyn Ebersole: I hope everyone read the report card from Shenk's Seminary. It was the report of Grayson Strailman, the husband of Margaret Strailman who taught a whole, whole bunch of Brunswick students. They lived across the street from me and he was a wonderful gentleman and she was one of our best teachrs. We had really good ones, especially in East Brunswick School.

James Barker: Grayson Strailman was my great uncle. Vic Strailman, my grandfather, was his brother. Aunt Margaret was my first grade teacher.
