The Word on the Street
Halloween draws nigh,
so it’s time to decide
on a costume.

What was your favorite,
as a kid? Or what costume
do you wish you had been
able to wear?
SONNY GOLDFIN
of Blackwood would
love to have dressed
as The Man from
Glad. “I liked his
all-white costume,”
Sonny says. “A
superhero for purity
and cleanliness.”
As a ten-year-old in
Scranton, CATHIE
MCGEEHAN of
Haddonfield was
fascinated by the
exotically dressed
lady who sold
huckleberries doorto-door.
“That year, I
dressed as a gypsy.”
Haddonfield’s
MARIA GORSHIN:
“When I was about
nine, I dressed as a
flamenco dancer.
My mother had all
the components:
red-and-black skirt,
castanets, combs,
shawl, and fan.”
“I really wanted to
dress as Zorro,” says
NICK NICOLAY of
Haddonfield, “with
a mask, cape, sword,
and sombrero.” But
all his folks came
up with was a black
cape and a bayonet.
“I carved Zs in trees.”
As a ten-year-old,
VINCENT BELLIZIA
dressed as an FDA
inspector. “When a
homeowner opened
their door, I insisted
on inspecting their
candy to make sure it
was FDA-approved,”
he says. “I wore my
dad’s fedora, with
fake business cards
in the band.”
DEBBIE PECK, coowner
of Melange
Boutique, wishes she
could have dressed
“in the Cruella de
Ville costume I made
for my daughter,
Courtney, when she
was in first grade.
We both loved ‘101
Dalmations’ – still
do. It was a terrific
costume.”
