Keith Alfieri Lets see. Did the College thing. Went into the Pizzeria Biz for about 5 years, left that. Did corporate sales for 2 years. Joined local 9- Plumbed for about 1 1/2 years. Lived in Totowa/Little Falls for about 6 years. Did the Family thing, and that didn't work out. Pretty much over the last 13 years, I learned a lot about making money, the right and wrong ways. Made a decent amount of money, and lost it because I made a poor decision in choice of women. However, I have a 2 year old son AJ, who means the world to me despite what has happened with his mother and I, and if I had to go through it all again, I would because he is worth it. I moved to LBI in May of this year, I'm single again and looking again. I'm currently an assistant manager at the Sears at Ocean County Mall in Toms River, which I am doing until I qualify for the Local Pipefitters Union down here in January 2007. I waiting to find out my status and if I qualify for the Army Reserve, because I've reached my 30's and realized I've done nothing for my country or others and just for myself and my son.

Pretty much in the last 13 years I've just collected a lot of stories to tell. If I live long enough to get a chance to slow down, I may write something. But for right now, I'm pretty much starting my life over. And its all just happening!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For more I'm on myspace http://www.myspace.com/ajsdaddy

John Boenitz Well, I first realized my talent at the Sussex County Farm and Horse Show. I was showing off for the high school ladies crushing beer cans with my forehead when a brand-new presidential advisor named George Stephanopoulis!!! Next thing I know I'm on Air Force One heading to Camp David with my new position as secretary of Partying Down!!! I spent the next few years bloodying my forehead on presidential aluminum, but my good fortune soon plummeted when I "borrowed" Henry Kissinger's glasses (I had an eye infection!).
Fortunately I was able to come back to Vernon and land work as a freelance photographer for the Vernon News sports section. At $5 a picture I can't complain. Plus, I'm able to really get in touch with my people, the fans. I always envisioned myself in those hallowed metal bleachers at Vernon Stadium, and now I have finally come full circle and find myself sitting there amongst the ghosts of Vikings past.
I'd like to take this time to thank everyone who has touched my life. From my stepsister, who taught me how to love and about intimacy, to my father, who taught me how to cut my losses, it's been a long, strange trip. Go VIKINGS!!

week, and lives it up on the weekends...=) Ahhh, life...Love it.
