‘94 One of Pashman’s less than favorite memories happened after she returned to Clifton in ’09 near her old school, Woodrow Wilson. “I was walking into Sally’s Beauty Supplies, near Bruno’s Pizza and I stepped on a crack in the sidewalk,” she remembered. “I broke my arm. But I’m okay now.” Among the many positives in Pashman’s life since graduation, she has lost over 100 pounds so some of the people she has not seen in those years can look forward to her new look. “I also cut my hair since then,” she said. Pashman said among the former classmates she reached out to are, Susan Daubar-Loeb who appeared on “The Katie Couric Show” with her daughter Lindsay who received a heart transplant a year ago, along with the donor family; Mike Constantino, who owns the AMA Fight Club in Wayne; Hani Darwish, CEO at Extreme Fight Club, Woodland Park; Steve Pororelic, who worked for Morgan Stanley and during high school was student council president, played football and track and was voted by his class Most Versatile, Most Dependable and Most School Spirit, “he is still a great, charismatic guy,” Pashman said; Dana Jeanett-Murdoch, who was voted Most Athletic and now teaches in Clifton;
