A Blog about the Chambersburg area of Trenton NJ. The Burg we all loved and miss. If you were from the Burg I hope many of the pictures and lists and comments under them from good folks bring back some nice memories. Villa Park, Franklin Park, South Trenton, and nearby Hamilton also mentioned. Use the search box atop the blog to find schools,churches,streets,stores,bars etc that you remember. Over 4000 posts and 3000 pics. Enjoy:)

Mr. Coppola was my first Health Class and Phys Ed teacher at Junior Four, back in the late fifties. He also coached the Tumbling Team (where I distinguished myself by easily being the least coordinated).
He became a very good friend after he changed over to being a Sciences teacher at THS. We were enrolled in the same Organic Chemistry class at Rider College in the early 70s. Dr. Gerry Kent's course was the toughest of our academic careers, and it required the particapnts come together for after-hours group study. Lots of coffee kept us all going.
I hear he passed on at an early age. Very sorry to hear that as he was a great guy.
Looks like Gary Nath to me.He taught chem at TCH the same time .
I think Mr. Coppola had a bit less hair than the fellow in the picture.
Skip
Could be, but didn't know Gary Nath. Tony Copolla had a bit more arm and a more angular jaw, IIRC.
Will have to did out a Junior Four pic of him.
Not Gary Nath or Tony. I was teaching at THS in '70 and the fellow looks familiar but do not recall the name.
This picture is obviously the Mr Coppola of my Trenton High days. This is how his hair looked. I am mystified at the hair comment. This is how his hair looked. Perhaps there was another Mr Coppola??
That is it! It is John Coppola. Worked with him at THS.
I knew both Cappolas in the 1960s at THS and this photo doesn't look at all like I remember either man.
But could be wrong.
Now you have me thinking. I know for sure it is not Tony though.
