Seeing the newly announced list of inductees for the New Jersey Hall of Fame, I found myself wishing I grew up in the Garden State.

I did not have any such brushes with future greatness but YOU possibly HAVE! So in today's blog post, I'd love to know which WOBM listeners actually know some of these Hall of Fame inductees or any famous person.

Hearing about the passing of actor Robert Hegyes has me remembering all the nights he made me laugh on "Welcome Back Kotter."  The New Jersey actor died of an apparent heart attack at age 60.  Remember how he'd have crazy excuses for not finishing his homework?  And how he'd forge notes that would be signed "Epstein's Mother"?
