Philip Van Doren Stern
#1

Hello. This film history person *just* learned that Philip Van Doren Stern, the Civil War Historian and the author of the original story that the movie "It's A Wonderful Life" was based upon, grew-up in JC. Does anyone have any idea which schools he attended & where his home street(s) were? The town directories are, unfortunately, not online and this Margaret Hague born person now lives in NH. Thus, traveling (6 hrs each way) for such a tiny bit of info is not really plausible. Hence, just wondering if anyone has an idea or knows of recollections about where he was schooled/lived? He was born 1899/1900. Thus he graduated from HS ~1916/17 and then went to Rutgers, eventually to Hollywood and finally in Sarasota, FL. So, to repeat, anyone have any info on those bits of his JC Life? Appreciate learning that tidbit concerning 'our' town. Me, St Pat's & Arlington Ave. THANKS
