Hermans Alumni

Hey is there anyone out there that worked in the Woodbridge store between 1977-1981? Do you know what ever happened to Steve Garetano, Michael Wiseman, Dominic Mascola, Dale Cherico, Mike Delicio? Tracey, Barb, Dan, Danny, Rose Brown? OMG we had so much fun working together! Does anyone remember the softball team?

I ran into Mike Wiseman about five years ago in the Target he was working in.  I believe that was in the Edison or Woodbridge area.  I worked with Mike in Paramus not Woodbridge.  I was in Woodbridge much later in the 89 - 90 time frame. 

 A few names I do remember though are Bucky (Thomas Buckalew), Lou Escaro and John.  Also what about Ed Reese, Annie Wu and the many others that formed the cast of characters from Hermans Woodbridge?

 Does anyone remember what Bucky used to say all the time??? 

 It was originally Kojack's famous quote.  I know but does anyone else remember???

Hermans Positions:

Associate, Team Sports Manager, Assistant Store Manager, Store Manager

Bowling Technician (Thanks Spongy)

I worked in the shoe dept as a part timer in highschool and then for one year full time as asst. mng. shoe dept. Also in college during the summers. When I first started working there Joe Truffulio was the store manager then Bob Smile came in and I think Joe went to another store. Mike Wiseman was so funny, I had such a good time working with everyone. Some other ppl were Orin in hunting and fishing, Dan (H&F), Gary Loszack (manager H&F). Some other ppl I worked with were Pete Alvarez, Danny ?, Chuck Pilson or Pilsner asst. store manager I think. Carol who was a cashier. So many others I have old photos from the softball games I will have to find them and scan and upload them.

Pam ... I worked in Woodbridge in '74 with Dom Mascola in the Ski Department. Last I saw him, a couple of years ago, he was working for Victory Box ( shelf cartons ) in sales. Same great personality and looked well. And, yes, those were fun times too.

joe, glad to see you got my letter. Kim Molarz

Hey Mike, Ken Grohbrugge here. Was just telling somebody about the great blizzard of '78 when you and I were the only 2 guys to show up at the store. Still say you were the best boss I ever had

I worked in the Woodbridge store from 1981 - 1986.  I ran into Mike Wiseman last year and we had a bite to eat together.  Still as funny as ever.  Some of my best memories of all took place in that store.  Hope to see you all at the reunion in September.  

ps...I also just sent an email to my Dad (Willie) and my brothers, Michael and Stephen about the reunion.  Hopefully it's not too late.

Tom 

Edit:  Would love to see Mike Gallagher and Tom Pritchard again!!

 

 

Lauren,

My name is John Evans and I ran the Golf and Tennis Dept. in 1981 with Mike Palma. I'm not sure if this is the Lauren I'm thinking of...What was your Maiden name?

 Please reply

Holy crap!!!   Zadroga.   John, how are you and where are you?  This site is way too much fun.

I still talk w/ Laura Caracappa, email Randy from time to time.  Jim (ski mechanic) is my husband of 18 years now.   Haven't talked w/ Annie and the rest of the crew in a long time.   

How did they find you?  

 

  

Lauren, I thought that was you...I'm fine, How r you doing....

I can hardly remember most of the woodbridge crew but you stood out to me...I kinda remember Laura...who is Randy?, I must have left before you met your husband. And is that Annie Cuntala? I think of her still these days and all of the nuts at Hermans. Do you remember Ladies night at Captain G's???

I don't know how they found me but I saw your pic with hubby and that got me interested in signing up. Write me back soon either on this site or my email address (jbevans0157@gmail.com)

Stay in touch

Herman's Hitmen was the name of our team and we had one hellava good ball club.I told Hot Dawg about the site so maybe he'll chime in. Don't get me started on some of things that we did in 104!!! Lauren, tell Jim that Gary Lowzik says "hey". Mike Murray... good to see your name. 1974... now let's see what kind of memories do I have of that period ...  Wow, that hurt!

I shouldn't try to put that much recall into my head at once,
