The MARTENS Family of West Nyack, NY
Circa 1965: The kids are, from left: Robert (yours truly), Thomas,
Daniel, Margaret a.k.a. Margie.
Mom & Dad's first home was in Callicoon Center, NY where Robert
was born. They then moved to Levittown out on Long Island where Daniel
entered the picture, then for several years they made their home in
Wayne, New Jersey at which time Margie and Thomas arrived. In 1964
the completed family made their final move to West Nyack in Rockland
County, New York.

The Clarkstown Reformed Church in West Nyack, NY, where Dad served as minister
from 1964 to the early 1990's.
In the extreme left is the entrance to the church's annex, The Fellowship House.
The new parsonage is out of view to the left of this photo.
They attended Clarkstown Senior High School South. Sure looks like an exciting
place.
Speaking of High School, here's Robert (left) and Daniel's yearbook mugshots.
Tom and Margie's will appear here, eventually.
Jumpin ahead a few decades, here are the children of Daniel
and Heather Martens.

There's obviously a lot of gaps here, which will fill in with
time. Thanks for visiting.
