The Ho-Ho-Kus, New Jersey town council swears in Mayor A.J. Zimmerman in the early 1950s. My grandfather is back left. View full size.
The selection of photos and captions on the history page of the Ho-Ho-Kus police department website allows us to track the career progress of the officers listed on the board behind SeaJayBee's grandfather. In 1955, John McElroy is chief and has been since 1932, while Al Junta is lieutenant and Ed Angersoll is sergeant. (The Zimmerman swearing-in must therefore be after 1955.) A 1965 photo shows the retirement party of Chief Junta, with Angersoll as captain and Re as sergeant. By 1972, Angersoll is chief and Re is captain, and in a 1973 photo, Bob Re is finally chief.
