Honoring Carl B.

Wednesday, April 9, 2008

Yes, he tilts at windmills. First trying to reinstate Pluto, then spearheading an effort to oust Corzine. But the Don Quixote of Glen Ridge has also clocked more than his share of time poring over spreadsheets and pounding the gavel. Join the Glen Ridge Kiwanis Club and Glen Ridge Borough Hall in a champagne reception to honor Carl Bergmanson, former mayor of Glen Ridge, tomorrow (Thursday) at 6:30 pm at the Glen Ridge Women's Club, 219 Ridgewood Ave.

Note: Please disregard earlier invitations, which came in the mail, announcing the reception was later in the month. Tomorrow is the day.

I swan, but Carl is my hero. Mickey and Minnie were just bereft -- bereft, I say -- when they discovered Pluto had been demoted. And that terrible Corzine fellow with those (there's no other way to say it) low-rent blue sweaters. Why, he should have been recalled years ago. I am sure it is only a minor mistake that my invitation didn't arrive. Do you think the Champagne will be French? I do hope it isn't that terrible Frexinet stuff they sell at that store near Starbuck's...

Of all the local politicians covered here so far, from Nia Gill on up (and she is quite a ways down), Carl Bergmanson strikes me as tbe most deserving of a community "honors" ceremony." Not least for the charm and directness of his posts here.

Yes, now if he could only be cloned.

Carl,
Thanks for your service and genuine passion for the town! One can always count on a straight and educated response when conversing with you and it is always appreciated. You hard work and sincerity are a great example for future leaders in our (or any) town.
