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:
“I have enjoyed greatly the second blooming that comes when you finish the life of the emotions and of personal relations; and suddenly you find—at the age of fifty, say—that a whole new life has opened before you, filled with things you can think about, study, or read about.... It is as if a fresh sap of ideas and thoughts was rising in you.”
—Agatha Christie (1891–1976)
“A man who has nothing which he cares about more than he does about his personal safety is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the existing of better men than himself.”
—John Stuart Mill (1806–1873)
“Bondage is the life of personality, and for bondage the personal self will fight with tireless resourcefulness and the most stubborn cunning.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
