Scene: Courtroom. Union County Superior Court. Presiding the Hon. Ross R Anzaldi.
Scenario: The judge had settled a divorce some time in the past, however the husband and wife appeared again this time because of a disagreement over a provision in the divorce agreement.
The judge heard the case and then went to his chambers to make a ruling. When he emerged he turned to the courtroom and said:
“It seems we stood and talked like this before. We looked at each other in the same way then. But I can’t remember where or when.”
Smiles around the courtroom. In case you don’t know, these are lyrics from the Rodgers and Hart 1937 hit “Where or When.”
And it is a true story. It is also true that Judge Anzaldi has a lyric for just about anything. And he is my oldest friend–can you tell?
