Giants '86 Super Bowl Hero George Martin's Autographed Photo of Joyce Kilmer to be Given Away Sunday at "Joyce Kilmer Day" Celebration

   MAHWAH, NJ -- Get ready for Super-duper Sunday!

 At midday, the public is invited to the "2nd Annual Joyce Kilmer Day" celebration at Roxanne's Restaurant, 150 Franklin Turnpike, at 11:30 am-1 pm. Free admission and refreshments. 

 Then at 6:30 pm, the Super Bowl kicks off at MetLIfe Stadium.

 The National Weather Service forecasts a daytime temperature of 46 degrees.

 "Joyce Kilmer Day" was officially designated by proclamation  last year by the Mayor of Mahwah, Bill Laforet, along with Councilman John Roth and then-Councilman John Spiech, to commemorate Kilmer's writing of "Trees" in his Mahwah house on February 2nd, 1913. Kilmer was killed in World War I, the most distinguished American  to die in the war.

 Sunday's festivities include details of the "Joyce Kilmer Memorial Bench;" rarely-seen photos of Joyce Kilmer; a display of vintage Joyce Kilmer books; a take-home brochure on "The Story of Joyce Kilmer's 'Trees' in Mahwah, NJ"; free drawings for Joyce Kilmer T-shirts and mugs; and a photo of Joyce Kilmer autographed by one of the stars of the New York Giants 1986 Super Bowl-winning team, George Martin, who began reciting "Trees" as he signed the photo.
