Washington crossing reenactment opens 34th year in New Jersey
General George Washington portrayed by James Gallagher leads troops onto the New Jersey shore after crossing the Delaware from Pennsylvania in the 34th annual reenactment. NBC and Florida Citrus Bowl promos feature Willard Scott in green pajamas promoting a $375000 Florida Citrus Commission sponsorship. Former Yale president Kingman Brewster Jr. named Connecticut European special envoy for economic development with a three year term and Oxford master duties. Frank Sinatra brightens a sick Buffalo woman's Christmas with gifts including roses and televisions for over a decade. Al Hirt's Bourbon Street club becomes Ripley’s museum as the trumpeter says he will not reopen a new venue and laments changes in the city’s nightlife.
