It's been great reliving these "old times". We moved to Woodbridge in 1948 when my father opened a bowling alley in Perth Amboy. What I remember most vividly is the way our entire social life revolved around the "Center". Virtually all our friends were members - it held such an important place in every facet of our lives. I remember going to play volley ball on Sunday mornings, getting out of school early once a week for Hebrew School and going to services Friday night (parent approved social time).

My parents moved from Woodbridge in 1964. My mother passed away in 1985 and my father in 1995. I now live in East Brunswick with my husband of forty plus years - Gary Schwartz. Gary is an attorney here and I work in his office. We have two "children" - Rob who is the Dean of Admissions at UCLA Law in Los Angeles and Lynn, also an attorney, who lives in Clifton Park, NY with her husband and two daughters. My sister is living in Highland Park with her husband Richard Mitnick. She has a son who has two children (the oldest of whom will have her bat-mitzvah this fall), living in San Diego, and a daughter who has two children and lives in Los Angeles.
