Personal
By 1975, Scamardella was married to Mike Pesce, then a New York State Assemblyman for the 52nd Assembly District. They married sometime after his 1972 election into office. Pesce became an administrative judge in the 1990s, in the Brooklyn Civil Court system, later leaving that post. By 1999, when Pesce signed a restraining order against the New York City transit union in case of a strike, he and Scamardella had been divorced for some time and had a daughter, Vanessa, who was then a senior at Georgetown University. In 1996, Pesce's fiancee, Bonnie Wolters, had been among those killed in the crash of TWA Flight 800 off Long Island.

Famous quotes containing the word personal:
“The pursuit of Fashion is the attempt of the middle class to co-opt tragedy. In adopting the clothing, speech, and personal habits of those in straitened, dangerous, or pitiful circumstances, the middle class seeks to have what it feels to be the exigent and nonequivocal experiences had by those it emulates.”
—David Mamet (b. 1947)
“No Vice or Wickedness, which People fall into from Indulgence to Desires which are natural to all, ought to place them below the Compassion of the virtuous Part of the World; which indeed often makes me a little apt to suspect the Sincerity of their Virtue, who are too warmly provoked at other Peoples personal Sins.”
—Richard Steele (1672–1729)
“The dialectic between change and continuity is a painful but deeply instructive one, in personal life as in the life of a people. To “see the light” too often has meant rejecting the treasures found in darkness.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
