Marlboro resident, David Marin, turns 100 years old on Saturday.  A true survivor, he was imprisoned in Auschwitz at the young age of 16.  Shortly after his release, he met his wife, Etta, and they immigrated to the US in 1949. They were married for 67 years.  Etta and David retired to Marlboro in in 1988, one of Greenbriar’s first residents, where David still lives today.  I have proclaimed March 25 ‘David Marin Day’ in the boundaries of Marlboro Township.   You can read the proclamation and learn more about David’s remarkable life HERE.  Please join me in wishing David a very happy 100th birthday. 

Have a great weekend,

Mayor Jon Hornik
