West Orange town historian invites us to the place where David Cassidy spent his formative years

Joseph Fagan is the town historian for West Orange, where David Cassidy spent his formative years. Located less than 15 miles from Manhatten, the town offers a rich history. The first settlers landed in 1666 at what is now Newark Bay.
In this week’s episode of The David Cassidy Connections, Joseph takes us round the township and shares photographs of places where David would have played as a boy. He explains some of the history of West Orange including the 9/11 Memorial which stands at the top of Eagle Rock where there are panoramic views of the New York skyline.
The full episode can be heard on all major listening platforms for laptop and mobile devices including Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify.

I enjoyed the podcast very interesting and informative. Great to see the pictures relating to David's childhood. Joseph mentioned that the young ones of West Orange, don't know about David. Such as shame. I wonder if there are any plans for the town to celebrate or memorialize their world famous son?

I am in the picture of him holding up the “Cassidy” jersey. I’d love a copy of it!!! Please?! The whole Chronicle article, if you have it.

I just happened across this video montage (have not heard the podcast yet) and am curious about the (apparent) series of articles Evelyn wrote about David's childhood. Can someone tell me what magazine(s) these appeared in? Of course I'd love to find them and read them all! Many thanks in advance.
