Long Time Residents
100 Long-time Residents
These are over 100 Lakers who have lived in town for more than 40 years. Many were guests at the Taste of Mountain Lakes event. These are the people who have given time and support to the town and organizations over the years. All were to have their years recognized and wear their Centennial buttons and ribbons. These are the people who provide us with a link to the past, a reminder that the Market was once Yaccarrino’s; and the Station was once, well a train Station, and then the Phoebe Snow restaurant with amazing popovers. They also remind us about the times that were really tough, as well as the parts of life that were better back in the day. You make our town rich, and interesting, and warm.
This is our list – a work in progress – of Mountain Lakes residents who have lived in town for more than 40 years (though not necessarily consecutive). If anyone is missing, please let us know at ml100@mtnlakes.org or call Kris Barlow, 973-299-1528.

John and I have lived in Mountaiin Lakes for 44 years.We moved here when Cindy Maypole was five. Our son, Jack was a baby. Cindy, Jack and Kim all attended Mountain Lakes schools.
Nancy and Glennis Rickert – Hillcrest – at least 50 years. Brad Rickert, now on Dartmouth – 40+ years. Also Pete and Rosemary Haas (although their house is technically in Denville on Pocono Road) are among the longest residents.
We moved to Mt Lakes in June 1971, so we’ve been here 40 years. We lived 3 years at 11 Woodland Ave and 37 years at 131 Laurel Hill Road. George & Marge Jackson
