Interesting list, but I only knew about 10% of these names before I read this.

The Original Trenton Cracker Factory
I read with great interest this article about what our family called "the bakery". My great Uncle Christopher Cartildge bought the factory, it was on to my grandparents, Frederick and Mary Cartlidge and then on to my father, Christopher Cartlidge. My brother, Frederick, and I, Mary, were to run the company but my father decided to sell the cracker business. I would like to get 3 more copies of the magazine. Please send me the issues of this current issue and I will remit payment. My current address is: 2429 Reed Rd
Bergen, New York 14416
or, let me know what the payment will be and I will remit it to you.
Thanking you in advance.

Joseph V. Doria selection
Please explain to me, exactly what it is that Joe Doria has done to "...facilitate[ing] the creation of affordable housing for working families."
If this is a basis for your selection then you owe us readers some explanation as to what he has done.

Power Profiles
Nice job on the list of the most influential people in NJ, but Captain Bill Sheehan, the Executive Director of the Hacksack Riverkeeper organization, should have been on the list. I personally know Captain Bill, and his life is devoted to the preservation of the Hackensack River.
Taken from www.hackensackriverkeeper.org:
Who Is Hackensack Riverkeeper?
Captain Bill Sheehan, the Hackensack Riverkeeper, is a lifelong resident of the Hackensack River area, having lived most of his life in Union City and Secaucus, New Jersey. He is a dedicated, active conservationist who founded Hackensack Riverkeeper in 1997 and serves as the organization’s Executive Director. Captain Bill holds a Master of Inland Waterways license from the US Coast Guard.
Capt. Bill is a member of many environmental and public interest organizations, serving most of them in a leadership capacity. He is a Principal Partner in the Hackensack Meadowlands Partnership, and a Founding Member of the Hackensack River Watershed Fund. Most notably, Captain Bill is a member and two term chairman of the Bergen County Trust Find Public Advisory Committee and currently serves as Chairman of the Meadowlands Conservation Trust; the latter being the state board charged with identifying and facilitating the acquisition of open space in the Meadowlands and throughout the watershed of the Hackensack River.
Captain Bill has been recognized for his work on numerous occasions by the media, government and the environmental community including the New Jersey Audubon Society’s 1996 Conservationist of the Year Award and the 1999 Annual National Clearwater Award for excellence on the waterfront from the Waterfront Center in Washington, DC. In 2002 the US Fish and Wildlife Service recognized him for his work on behalf of Meadowlands conservation, he and the organization received a 2003 Environmental Excellence Award from the NJ Department of Environmental Protection. In 2004 Captain Bill was given the River Networks National River Hero Award.
When he is not leading Eco-Cruises, chairing meetings, or otherwise advocating for the Hackensack watershed, Captain Bill enjoys rock and roll music, movies and fishing for Striped bass in his favorite river.

Power List
At first I was dismayed - who are these people? None of them are the ’most influential’ in my life, at least not directly. Then I was disgusted - the vast majority all having to do with politics or influencing political decisions.Is this what living in New Jersey is all about? Finally I was saddened - where are the humanists, the religious leaders, the charitable? To me that’s true ’power’.

Should be Included in Power list
Another very worthy person that should be included is: David Szuchman, Director of Consumer Affairs - NJ. New at his post but making a big impact. Please check it out.
Thanks
