Wow–yeah, talk about small world, Irene. I worked at 120 Woodbine St. in Bergenfield for several years in the early 1980′s and remember that Matthew’s Diner on Washington Ave. had the best rice pudding. Wonder if we ever bumped into each other, David??

Good point about the neighborhood, David. We need to speak w/Marshall and Rick re amending Daniel’s last monologue. Bergenfield “Man of the Year-2007″ for Bob??

The last time I saw Jersey Boys on March 11, I met a lovely couple who told me they were interior designers who just worked with Bob Gaudio in redecorating his home in Bergenfield. Small world! Irene Eizen

So Mr. Gaudio does have some “old neighborhood” roots after all. That’s great. Nice story. I am sure that the high schools kids from Bergenfield will appreciate “local home town boy makes good” coming back home for an inspirational visit. Bergenfield is a very modest town by Bergen County New Jersey economic standards. I remember Bergenfield had one of the few running shoe stores back in the early ’80s that had a complete line of running shoes, which weren’t that many at the time anyway, Brooks, Saucony and a few others. It was on a small main street with many other stores for shopping. Nice little town as I recall.

Bergenfield doesn’t get a lot of press, but I believe it was the town recently featured in that “Home Makeover” show a few Sunday nights ago with Academy Award Winner Mary Maitland as the guest host.
