Local Native Shares Wartime Experiences Aboard Battleship
By Frank Sinatra, AAP Editor
With the kids off from school for the NJEA Conference, we decided to take advantage of one of the Pennsauken Free Public Library’s museum passes and headed off to Camden to tour the Battleship New Jersey. While we were there, we met Elwood “Woody” Freeman, a docent at the battleship. It turns out the Woody grew up in Merchantville, lived in Pennsauken; he was gracious enough to share some of his stories about growing up in our community and serving in the Navy during World War II.
