Connie Francis, International Singing Star, to be Honored by Hometown Belleville, NJ

People often ask  me to rattle off the 11 Secrets of Arimathea. Now that the book is being sold in the marketplace, I tell them to take a look at the preview on-line Google, Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, or Xulon. Or just come here to my  blog. 

For the less patient types from my neighborhood, I say one of the Secrets is at work in the Belleville Education Foundation commitment to the Connie Francis Gala in late October. See if you can pick the secret! And read below.
