Owner's Story
My great-grandfather Henrik arrived from Norway in 1898. He worked the railroads through New Jersey and saved for sixteen years before he could send for my great-grandmother. She came in 1914, one month before the war began in Europe. They raised six children. Four generations later, I still live in Newark. I do not know everything about Henrik, but I know this: every choice he made, made me possible. This hex is for him.
