Kathie Pontus Prize Quotations

This is one more surprise for people in this area; we not only had a Nobel Prize winner, but a Pulitzer Prize winner, and he even wrote a poem that mentioned New York Avenue, in Union City. I hope that as a result of these articles, the city residents will become interested in learning about all the people and things and places that we can call 'our own' and should respect and honor.

How many small cities like ours can claim the fame of having had a Nobel Prize winner come from their city and school system? Plus, there are the others who are giving us good reasons to be proud of our city and history.
