Plainfield observers (click on name to go to post): Olddoc is approached by WWII 'reenactors', with some surprising activities. Maria notes the 'summary' mentioned at the BOE committee meeting provoked a 'Kodak moment', and wonders 'where the love has gone' between Mrs. Campbell and Dr. Gallon. CBAC (budget advisory committee) looks for your questions and/or comments -- citizens are chiming in, check it out and add your voice. PPS News (Schools) notes the NJEA recommends unions not sign on to NJ's 'Race to the Top' application.
