Born in Jersey City, NJ - lots of corruption there over the years. When I was 3 we moved to the suburbs, Pearl River, NY - "the town of friendly people." Big Paulie of Orange County Chopper was a neighbor, 2 years younger than me, a casual aquaintance. Pearl River today has a very large Irish population and boasts the 2nd largest St. Patrick's Day parade in the country.
Lived most of my married life in Suffern, NY. Suffern has a large Avon building; research and development. Both Pearl River and Suffern are suburbs of NY City - 45 minutes to Manhattan.
Now I'm in Egg Harbor Twp, NJ, famous for nothing that I know of. 10 miles to Atlantic City.
