Recording History – Recommendations from Personal Experience Written by by Rudy Garbely, Owner & Editor-in-Chief, The Garbely Publishing Company Sometimes history is best recorded under the most perilous of circumstances. On a Thursday morning in early November of 2011, I was passed out on the kitchen counter in my dorm’s common area. I woke up surrounded by empty Coke cans and an empty bottle of Jack Daniels – things were not looking good. I was a senior history major at Moravian College in Bethlehem, PA, and for the past eleven months I had been working on my thesis. This was minimum 100-page paper on a topic of my choosing, replete with all of the most arduous and grueling practices of professional research. The final paper was due on November 17th, less than two weeks away. A trio of Lehigh Valley Railroad locomotives burst out of the Musconetcong Tunnel in Bellewood, NJ on February 23, 1974.
