the moment when:
Shapes become
letters.
Goodbyes become
smiles.
Teachers become
partners.
Doubt becomes
discovery.
I
am thrilled to
be taking over as
editor of MillburnShort Hills
Magazine from
the gifted Joanne
Fisher. Joanne is leaving the magazine to
pursue a full-time writing career.
I grew up in Millburn-Short Hills and
moved back to town with my husband in
1999 to raise our sons. I worked for many
years as a reporter and editor at Business
Week, published a memoir/cookbook in
2014 and now teach writing workshops
in New York and New Jersey. It is a great
pleasure to begin coverage of what is
going on in and around our town.
In this issue, you will find stories about
the celebration of the Hindu holiday
DIWALI, the garden and gun control
advocacy of resident KEVIN QUINN, the
expanding business of blow-dry hair
salons, and gain insights into changes in
architectural and design trends, based on
the observations of local architect TOM
BAIO. We’re also covering the biweekly
pop-up dinners being offered by CEDAR
RIDGE CAFÉ in Maplewood. And be sure
to check out the gorgeous renovation,
decoration and landscaping of STACI and
MITCH BOYARSKY’s home in Short Hills.
We live in a beautiful, culturally-rich
and intellectually stimulating community.
I’m excited to explore it with you. ■
