Great Memory Book for Claymonters

Thanks to Marty Sheik and Ray Hester for compiling this delightful photographic memory of "Delaware's Gateway Community," Claymont.For any Claymonter, or interested Delawarean, this book is a gem. Using photos collected from citizens of Delaware's foremost unincorporated community, the authors have preserved the look and feel of the "town" as it existed in the early to mid 20th Century. This book is a wonderful keepsake or gift for the current or former Claymonter. Importantly, it should serve to underscore the important efforts Claymont is making to rekindle its historic sense of self.
