Ber Coffet has been a mystery for me for over 60 years. I use to see him gardening on Lafayette Ave. Chatham, NJ as a kid and heard that the big statue was of his son killed in the war. It turns out that it was of a gardener. Chatham has missed the boat on honoring this man.. http://www.unz.org/Author/CoffetBerHopefully others in the region will know more about him.
