Elaine Saigh, wife of firefighter George Saigh of the New Milford Volunteer Fire Department, has just completed a labor of love. She took on a project in October 2006 to make a Lap Quilt for each resident of the New Jersey State Firemen’s Home in Boonton, NJ. She completed the project, on her own, 12 months later and delivered 70 Lap Quilts to the home. She said it was her way of thanking the veteran fire fighters for the sacrifices and dedication they made to the fire service. She made the presentation of the quilts to the Board of Managers of the Home on Saturday November 10, 2007.
