I was born in Newark, NJ. I spent all my school years in Newark, Caldwell, South Orange, and Bloomfield. I couldn't wait to get out. As soon as I turned 18 shortly after High School I went down and volunteered to join the Armed Forces. This was during Viet Nam and I went anyway. My parents and sister's family lived there all their lives and the only reason I ever went back was to see them. I still get nervous any time I have to go back. Sorry to all you NJ fans but I just can't stand to be there any longer than a week during the holidays and then it's out of there again.
