======================================
The Jewels of Mary G. Roebling

I'll tell you about the lady. I'll tell you about her
jewels. You tell me what her surname name is famous for.
She is a woman of many "firsts". Ready?

She was the first woman to serve as President and Board
Chairman of a major American Bank. 1937: Elected President
of Trenton Trust company. 1972: Trenton Trust merges with
National State Bank ... Ms. Roebling is elected Board
Chairman.

1958/59: First woman Governor of the American Stock Exchange.

First woman for whom a major government building was named: The
Commerce Building in Trenton was renamed the Mary G. Roebling
Building.

First female Civilian Aide to the Secretary of the Army.

Friend to Richard Nixon ... Bob Hope ... Phyllis Diller ...
and many more. So what is her surname famous for ... more famous
even than the above scoop that's been occupying every breathtaking
moment of your collective existences since you began reading this?

Did I mention her jewelry? I have a piece. It's an Indian Gem-Set,
Cultured Pearl, Enamel and Gold Necklace. It consists of a gold
foliate plaque set with various foil-backed diamonds and rubies ...a
carved emerald ... sapphire, garnet, coral, cultured pearl, gold bead,
red enamel ... an endless array of precious and semi-precious gems. An
interesting piece ... a bit weighty for me ... but then I wear no
jewelry at all.

This is truly a short piece ... all I had available to say about Mary
G. Roebling I've said. Except of course the one last Tidbit. The one
thing her surname is known for--if not the world over--then certainly
by every New Yorker. For the Roebling family you see ... is the family
responsible for having built the Brooklyn Bridge. So if you ever want
to go buy a bridge ... now you know where to go.

For those of you who are new to this thing called Tidbits...may I
direct you to my home page at www.tyler-adam.com where you will
scroll down the left side menu till you get to the area that says
Tidbits Graphics ... and then click on the link that says: Roebling
.... where you'll see an image of the Indian Necklace.

And there ya have it.
That's it for this week folks.
Catch you all next week.
