Whalom Park Memories




I am so excited that the new Whalom Park ownership program is trying to bring back a piece of my childhood. I spent many happy days at Whalom Park built in 1893. The park closed after the 2000 season. My fondest memories were in kiddie land. I rode the motorcycle ride, the boat ride the carocell (sp). I also rode the coaster from the top of which you could see the whole of lake Whalom. It was beautiful view. I rode the bumper cars with my dad. I was too little to drive them myself. My parents won me lots of prizes in the midway. I got a bunch of Michael Jackson posters a huge Hulk Hogan picture in a frame and more. I want the thank the ownership program for the pictures they have allowed me to use in this blog. I will also link them in my links section at right.

RIP Jacob Wetterling

On October 22, 1989, just after 9:00 p.m., Jacob Wetterling (11), his younger brother Trevor (10), and a friend Aaron (11), were cycling home from a  convenience store  where they had gone to rent a video, [1]  when a masked gunman came out of a driveway and ordered the boys to throw their bikes into a ditch and lie face down on the ground. He then asked each boy his age. Jacob's brother was told to run toward a nearby wooded area and not look back or else he would be shot. The gunman then demanded to view the faces of the two remaining boys. He picked Jacob, and told his friend to run away and not look back otherwise he would shoot. [2]  This was the last time Jacob was ever seen. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacob_Wetterling Sources tell 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS the remains of Jacob Wetterling have been found after Danny Heinrich, who authorities had named as a person of interest in his 1989 kidnapping, agreed to cooperate and provide information.

"Cropsey" Andre Rand

Only one of Rands multiple suspected victims has ever been found. She was Jennifer Schweiger a 12 year old with downs syndrome that he buried at his campsite in the woods near the mental hospital he was janitor at. He  got 25 years to life for her kidnapping and murder.  Here is a list of other possible victims who's bodies have yet to be found:   Alice Pereia, Holly Ann Hughes, Tiahease Tiawanna Jackson & Henry Gafforio. Audrey Lyn Nergenberg, an eighteen-year-old who disappeared in 1977 is also believed to be linked to Rand. Let's help Staten Island police solve these cases and brings these kids home for their families to bury. He spree of terror lasted from at least 1977 to 1987 when he killed Jennifer. At right is a picture of Jennifer, an innocent young life needlessly lost.  http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/5625256/the_legend_of_cropsey.html?cat=37
