Everything about Alfred E Driscoll totally explained
Alfred Eastlack Driscoll (
October 25,
1902–
March 9,
1975) of
Haddonfield, New Jersey, was an
American Republican Party politician, who served in the
New Jersey State Senator (1939-1941) representing
Camden County, who served as the
43rd Governor of
New Jersey, and as president of Warner-Lambert (now a part of
Pfizer).
Driscoll graduated from
Williams College in 1925, and was awarded an
LL.B. degree from
Harvard University in 1928.
As governor (1947-1954), Driscoll was the chief proponent of the
New Jersey Turnpike and the
Garden State Parkway. From the time of their construction, these two major transportation links would transform the agrarian "Garden State" into the most densely populated state in the union. The
Driscoll Bridge on the Garden State Parkway across the
Raritan River was named in his honor, and a failed planned extension of the New Jersey Turnpike (similar in nature to the
Pennsylvania Turnpike's Northeast Extension) would have also borne his name. Driscoll served as a delegate to the
Republican National Convention from New Jersey in
1948 and
1952.
Driscoll (a Republican) gave
William J. Brennan (a
Democrat) his first judicial appointment in 1949 - a seat on the
New Jersey Superior Court (which is a
Trial court). In 1951, Driscoll promoted Brennan to the
New Jersey Supreme Court, where he served until appointed to the
Supreme Court of the United States by President
Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1956.
Although he was a
Presbyterian, Driscoll is buried at the Haddonfield Baptist Churchyard.
