Jeanell Morsberger Willis: We worked hard to promote in the early days! I wore my Mom's diamond jubilee costume for the first and was filmed for the Hagerstown News; along with my great aunt Mary's shoes (gosh she had some tiny feet!) August 5, 2014

Phil Lowery: I liked the first years of Brunswick days. Women and men dressed in early 1900's clothing and walked the streets, Kaplons building had was filled with 1900's or later items. The windows were decorated one may have had clothing, one had photos, another had ball memorabilia. Someone in Karn's

building made homemade kinklings. Much different than today. August 26, 2014 Smoketown History (Brunswick, Md.) Fran New is another Brunswick icon. Gone way too soon, but one of the good spirits at Grace Church. October 31, 2014
