MORE CROTON MEMORIES: POP BERGER'S, EPILOGUE

Welcome to EverythingCroton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON. 

INTRODUCING CROTON MEMORIES, a new series that will focus on Croton from the 1940's through the 1970's, more or less. 

EPILOGUE: POP BERGER’S
Today we were doing some research at THE CROTON HISTORICAL SOCIETY when we came across this photo of Maurice “Pop” Berger while he was stationed in Italy during WWII. That’s when we learned something worth mentioning: when Pop got back to the states, he gave every Croton kid a free ice cream. That’s the kind of memory that is still with people today and ultimately perhaps, the best kind of tribute. See the original Pop Berger's installment here: http://everythingcroton.blogspot.com/2011/08/more-croton-memories-pop-bergers.html
