WAS IT ONLY YESTERDAY?
Was it only yesterday we said "hi" in the hallway or shared the same class?
Was it only yesterday we "hung out" at the Shore Mall together?
Was it only yesterday we went to the Atlantic Drive-In with our friends to watch a movie?
Was it only yesterday we talked on the phone or crammed for a test?
Was it only yesterday we held our diplomas and said our good byes?
Was it only yesterday we heard of one of our classmates passing?
And thought..."it seems like only yesterday"

Tom Hagerthey - A life Lived: Egg Harbor Township coach calm off the field, leader of champions on
By MICHELLE BRUNETTI POST,
Press of Atlantic City Staff Writer
Posted: Saturday, July 31, 2010
Tom Hagerthey and his son Shawn, 13, enjoyed fishing together in addition to other sports.
Egg Harbor Township resident Tom Hagerthey was a laid-back but competitive athlete in his youth. Those same qualities helped him succeed in coaching the soccer, baseball and basketball teams of his three children for more than 20 years.
"Tom was a good listener and very relaxed. But when game time came, he switched - he was yelling encouragement and imploring the players to try harder," said Tom McLaughlin, of Egg Harbor Township, with whom he coached the Egg Harbor Township Celtics soccer team. "After the game, he switched back to calm."
He and Hagerthey led the Celtics to reach the highest level - Olympic - in the South Jersey Soccer League two years ago. They are only the second Egg Harbor Township Soccer Club travel team to ever reach that level.
"When we started (as 8-year-olds), we lost most of our games," said son Shawn Hagerthey, 13, now a standout goalie. But his dad just kept encouraging them, and soon they started winning.
Hagerthey, 53, died July 5 from prostate cancer. Last October he found out the cancer had spread, but increasing illness did not keep him from the playing field.
"He came to every game (in the spring), as weak as he was," McLaughlin said. "He even went to a game in our summer tournament in a wheelchair, and we won the tournament."
Wife Wendy Hagerthey, with whom he opened a Budget Blinds franchise in 2003, grew up in Northfield. She met Hagerthey in 1984 at the former Brownie's Bar on Blackman Road in Egg Harbor Township.
"We met that night and have been pretty much together ever since. He was just different from other guys," she said of the country boy who was still a kid at heart, with his love of fishing and model trains.
The Hagertheys built their house next to his parents' home on Blackman Road and raised their three children there: Shawn, Kelsey, 16, and Erynn, 25, now of Columbia, Md.
There was a horse farm across the street when Tom was growing up, said his father, H. Lee Hagerthey, 89. Now there's a residential subdivision. But many of the same people remain.
"Tom introduced me to everybody when we moved here in the summer of 1970, in seventh grade," said Jimmy Marcasciano, of Egg Harbor Township, who was friends with Hagerthey for 40 years. "I can still see him playing with his brother in the front yard, and my mom telling me to 'Go play with the boys across the street.'"
A memorial beef and beer and Chinese auction for the Hagerthey family will be held from 7 to 10 p.m. Sept. 2 at Mangia by the Greens next to McCullough's Emerald Golf Links, 3016 Ocean Heights Ave. in Egg Harbor Township. Tickets are $20 and are available at the door.

Today's Featured Biography
Sheldon Oatman
After graduating, went on to attend & graduate from Widener University. Played 1 year of football and then became a DJ & Sportscaster at the college radio station.
After graduating from Widener with a BS in Business Admin & Economics, I became a retail manager. No money in that so moved back to South Jersey & worked for Atlantic Electric for 10 years.
During my years at AE I became a Christian & eventually moved to New York City to work in the ministry with a large urban church. I stayed in the ministry for 8 years.
Feeling I had fulfilled the time served, I went back into the corporate world working for Verizon. I have now worked at Verizon for 10 years, currently working in the Fiber Network Support Center.
My time in NYC has been an interesting one. I've seen many things. Experienced highs & lows, including the WTC attack on 9-11. I was at the World Trade Center that day and because I didn't understand much of what was going on, I'm still here today. I guess God is not finished with me yet.
Currently I'm a single parent raising 3 girls for about 7 years now. It's never easy, and I always have questions. Enough for now.
