Home Town premier edition of Upper Cape May County Pt 1

Recently I took some photos for The Press of Atlantic City for their premier of the Upper Cape May County Home Town Edition. Following s the photo or you can visit http://www.pressofatlanticcity.com/communities/upper_capemay/article_4b862eb0-3915-5676-b8be-42784d7c9160.html to see a portrait and read an article about Jay Newman, who lives at and manages the Seaside Cemetery in Upper Township, NJ.

Jay Newman kneels at gravestone of his father, John T. Newman, in the Seaside Cemetery where he lives and works. Newman is the general manager of the 27-acre property and owns it with his mother Barbara Perry. The Cemetery was bought by Newman's parents in the early 1970s but has been around since 1886.
