So why a park bench at a non-descript spot on a nothing lake in the middle of nowhere in New Jersey?
In Collingswood, Michael Landon was Eugene Orowitz. He was an ordinary boy who lived on North Newton Lake Drive and, sad to say, did not have a happy life. This was not the fault of New Jersey or Collingswood, but of a mismatched marriage and a mother who suffered from mental illness. A child doesn't understand that. All a child knows is that they don't have what they need. Often, the end result of this is not pretty. Children become men and women who strike out in negative ways to get what they want. Michael Landon had every reason to be one of these people, but he wasn’t – he overcame.
We want to make that spot on the lake something.
