Who’s Who in the Grove.

Novelette Herbert-Collins returned this weekend for her 20th reunion as a graduate of Neptune High School. She said that she had a wonderful time at the event.

This Scarlet Flier flew off to college in Michigan, met someone who swept her off her feet, got married and has lived in Dallas, Texas since then.  She says that she is a stylist, but her main preoccupation is to home-school her five children, ages 2-11.

We met Novelette on the OG boardwalk this Sunday afternoon.  She was soon to depart again for the Lone Star State, but one never quite gets the Jersey Shore or the Jersey Girl  out of one’s system, so off she went to take a nostalgic walk along the boards and breathe in some salty Atlantic Ocean air before heading back  home.

    John. This woman, like the summer breeze, was a delight to encounter. I was not going to darken my brief moments conversing with her by stirring some evil pot. —Paul

    That’s it? No impressions of how things have/haven’t changed since she was last here. What she thought of Asbury’s revitalization?? No questions were asked of her? Thought the audio was going to be a lil interview or something. This was a bit anti-climactic. Geez.
