Lombardi's in some elite company
They've started a hall of fame for New Jersey natives, and former Packers coach Vince Lombardi is among its charter members.
Lombardi, who was from Englewood, N.J., is one of 15 legends who'll go into the New Jersey Hall of Fame next year. The first class was chosen in an online vote that ended last spring.
Joining Lombardi in the hall: astronaut Buzz Aldrin, American Red Cross founder Clara Barton, baseball star Yogi Berra, basketball star and senator Bill Bradley, inventor Thomas Edison, physicist Albert Einstein, publisher Malcolm Forbes, philanthropist Robert Wood Johnson II, writer Toni Morrison, Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf, singer Frank Sinatra, singer Bruce Springsteen, actor Meryl Streep and freedom worker Harriet Tubman.
