“This was the home of my best friend, Janie Palermo. In the early 60’s when we were between the ages of six and eight years old, Janie, and Gaila Levecchia (our other best friend), and I would walk with older friends or parents from Beckett St. to Broadway to go to the Camden Free Public Library. That library is where I first learned to love books.” –

“This is where I lived from my birth in 1954 until I was 8 years old. I have many happy memories of this house and the neighborhood. My maternal grandfather (VitoAntonio Leone) owned the building and he lived in it with my grandmother and their 6 children until 1946 when they moved to the larger house at 1121 S. 4^th Street. After we moved out in 1962, he rented it to one or two more families, and then sold it. Years later, we learned that the building was blown up when a bullet or ‘bb-gun’ pellet hit a gas pipe, and thankfully everyone got out alive. The houses on either side (417 and 421) were also destroyed in the explosion and the houses no longer exist.” –

YOUTH, l6, NABBED AS DRUG PEDDLER
Held In $1000 Bail After Witnesses
Tell of Buying Heroin Downtown

Two alleged drug peddlers one a boy, 16 years old, were held in $1000 bail each by Recorder Stackhouse today.

The youth is William Lovern, 210 Washington Street. With Harry Bolt, 24 years old, 420 Beckett street, he was arrested early today after they are alleged to have sold decks of heroin at Second and Beckett streets.

David Hunt and “Dorie” Guthrie, said two packages of heroin and cocaine were found on the suspect. Both denied their guilt.

Youths, who acted as amateur detectives to gather evidence accused young Lovern as the “little fellow” who sold them each a deck of heroin for one dollar. They said Lovern refused to take 75 cents for the drug and asked for the larger amount.
