Whatever you do in love is forever etched in the hearts
of those that it affects.

Jim always been there for me. We been friends since I was 6 years old and great friends in High School/College and after. In 1990, we went to Florida for 7 days. We had a blast. I went to my first Who concert with Jim. I’m so lucky to have him and Debbie in my life.

Also another great true friend. We met back in 1992. Between
1992 - 1993 every Tuesday, a group of us will go on a 2 hour
boat ride on the Sandy Hook Lady and Wednesday - Friday,
we all go dancing. I did not get much sleep in 1992!!

We always been there for one another. In 2005, she married Doug and was honor to be part of it. In 2005, I went to see The Who at Madison Square Garden. A big step for her for a disco lover. In 2007, we went to see Les Mis in NYC with my friend Scott and Tammy.

My Bruce Springsteen concert buddy from NYC. We met at
a party in 2000. Our friendship started from day 1. We
went to see CSNY, Springsteen (4 times), Moody Blues,
and Les Mis. She makes great brownies!!
Mary is a nurse. Anytime I need medical advice, Mary is always there for me.

Jeanne Marie
A very special friend. We met at a Super Bowl party. Knows
a lot about the net and how to track anyone down. We both
like live music. She has a great web page - http://members.aol.com/jeannemariehere/index.html

    I hope the day will be a lighter highway,
    For friends are found on every road;
    Can you ever think of any better way
    For the lost and weary travelers to go?

Scott and Mindy
I met Scott in a taxi in Atlanta Ga. (going to the same conference).
We have a lot in common: Ice hockey, music, and girls. Scott became a member of the poker card club which includes Caryn. I have seen The Moody Blues, The Who, and Hockey playoff games with Scott.
Scott's web site is- http://mis.njit.edu/~sherman

Joe
I met Joe at a Church party in 2000. He knows where all
the great parties are in New Jersey and NYC. He told me
about one party in NYC where I met my concert buddy Mary.
I have seen The Who and Ringo All Star Band with Joe.
In 2007, working with my friend Diane, gave me a surprise
birthday dinner.

Debe and Phil
Back in 2001, I met Debe. We both like movies and
can talk for hours about any movie. She is a great actress!!
She was in the play "Sister's Rosensweog".
She also does astrology charting readings.
E-mail at Leosun820@aol.com if you want your chart done.

Darrell and Tammy
I met Darrell back in 2002 at the college. On Friday night, he would be teaching his account class and I
be teaching my guitar class.   He will always come to my guitar class and we became friends. The first day
we met, we found out that we went to the same Who concert on the same date and seat location back in 1979.
He is a guitar player for the band Due Diligence and also a Accounting Professor.

    Making Friends for the world to see,
    Let the people know you've got what you need;
    With a friend at hand you will see the light,
    If your friends are there, then everything's all right.

Dee
A great friend!! We are in the same field - computers. However,
we never talk about computers. She is very easy to talk to and willing
help anyone in need.

Donna A.
My online buddy. Our username crossed paths a few years
ago and been friends ever since. We finally met at a Neil
Diamond concert in October 2001.

Mary and Rich
I met Mary back in April 2001. Another friend who is very
easy to talk to. When you go bowling with her, watch out,
she plays to win!!

Betty
We been friends for a long time. She is very professional
at work but outside of work she knows how to have fun.
She a person with a lot of common sense....knows how to set
goals for herself. She will do anything for a friend.
Little spooky that she knows me inside and out!!

Frank and Michelle
Frank came to the college back in 1996. We
have something in common - THE WHO. He is a huge
fan (more than me). Frank and Michelle became my
Who Buddies. We went to see them over 6 times
between 1996 to 2005.

Elizabeth and Tim
My Papermill playhouse buddy. Elizabeth started
working at the college in 1992. We began friends
from day 1. We both enjoy - plays and concerts.
We went to see all the plays at the Papermill playhouse
in 1992 and 1993 (include My Fair Lady). We also went
to see Neil Diamond and The Moody Blues.

Diane
One Saturday night in May 2003, a group of friends
went out for dinner. During dinner, no one was talking.
I asked anyone what TV show they like to watch.
Diane said - "I watch the Gilmore Girls".
We talked hours about that show
while everyone else was eating. We soon began friends.

     It seems to me a crime that we should age,
    These fragile times should never slip us by;
    A time you never can or shall erase
    As friends together watch their childhood fly.

Suzanne and Kristen.
My Nieces!! They are so special to me. I watched them grow
up. When they were younger, we used to make up games and
play for hours. They had many sleepovers over my house.
We had a blast!!
Now Suzanne and Kristen are in college.
Its strange that they are getting older and I'm getting younger!!
We go once a year to a Broadway Play. So far we went
to see Footloose, Rent, Les Mis, The Who's Tommy, and
Cabaret.

The greatest part of someone life are his family and friends.
I'm extremely lucky to have great family and friends. My parents
are my best friends who gave me a very special gift - compassion, honesty, and love.

Have a heart that never
hardens, a temper that never
tires, and a touch that never hurts.

The best thing about the future is that it comes only
one day at a time.
- Abraham Lincoln

It takes me only a moment to say I love you, but it will
take me a lifetime to show you how very much.

Friends are angels
who lift us to our feet
    when our wings
       have trouble
           remembering how to fly.

Real heroes are men who fail and fail and are flawed,
but win out in the end because they've stayed true
to their ideals and beliefs and commitments.

Remember, remember, always,
that all of us,
you and I especially,
are descended from immigrants and revolutionists.

We are talking about freedom to create....
the freedom to express our own individuality....
the freedom has been the cornerstone to success
as nation and as a people.

the greatest thing in this world
is not so much where we stand
as in what direction we are moving.
