Hi Charley, Having lived in the first section of Brookwood 4, I do remember the comments of the poor city people haveing no where else to go. But it gave us a life we could never have known anywhere else.. I did not grow up in NYC I lived in Northern NJ.. This was the only housing my parents could afford with 5 kids at that time and to think they would embarass me with a 5th sibling a yr after we moved in.... I had to spend a lot of my high school yrs babysitting my younger brothers and sisters... If it had not been for a couple of the clubs in school ie the future nurses club and the drama club, I do not know what would have happened to me. It gave me something to do outside of baby sitting... I do still love my brothers and sisters though. Alice

Alice, you're so right! I can remember my parents telling us not to hang out with the new "city" kids. It was like we were being invaded or something. Brookwood kids were bad! Glad we didn't listen to that advise. Anyway, with progress come changes. Upward & onward.

Bill, I think that is what a lot of native Jacksonians thought of all the new Brookwood residents I II III & IV... I do remember hearing comments like that when people didnt know where I lived and did know that I was new in town...

I also live in a Calif. town that is growing beyond belief. When I moved here in 1981, there was 17,000 peep's. Now there are 62,000 residents.(I'm being nice. Most of the new people are city a**holes)

I cannot believe the growth of Jackson. That is phenomenal. I have only been back East a couple of times since moveing first to Wyoming and then to California. But my parents had sold their home in Jackson sometime in the 80's and we never really went back to check out the growth of the town.. Growth in the town I am currently living in is going to do the same thing here in a couple of yrs..

Ocean County Observer 06/18/03
JACKSON -- With the rapid growth in enrollment requiring a second high school in the township, Gov. James McGreevey broke ground yesterday for a new state-of-the-art high school that will accommodate 1,900 students.
The new high school is slated to open in September 2005, and will be a sister school to Jackson Memorial High School.
The new high school project involves construction of a 288,500-square-foot facility on a 155-acre site at a cost of $70.5 million of which $21.7 million will be provided by the state.
The school will have 50 ground floor classrooms and an additional 35 on the second floor.
Construction of the new high school is being made possible by a $103 million bond referendum for school construction, which was approved by voters in January 2002 by a margin of only 10 votes. Growth in enrollment had been rapid here prior to the referendum, with an increase of 508 students in a single 12-month period.
Margaret Hengel Quinn, former superintendent of schools, said current enrollment at the township's existing high school is over 2,500 students, in a building which she would consider ideal for 1,500 students.
Among others present yesterday were Board of Education president Michael Hanlon and vice president Gus Acevedo; board members Marvin Krakower, Dan Gross, Linda Lackay, John Morvay and Martin Spielman; and Acting Ocean County Superintendent of Schools Dr. Bruce Greenfield.
