  When Chairman John Feerick asked the members of the new panel today to tell him something about themselves that most people don’t know, many related tales of their children and grandchildren.
 Not  Manhattan lawyer Loretta Lynch. She  disclosed that she is newly married and a kick boxer. Andrew Celli, another downstate attorney, said he was a “competitive bocce player.’’ John Mitchell said he is a fly fisherman.
 Dan Alfonso, a former prosecutor, didn’t have anything interesting to say about himself, but said that his wife is a professional stand-up comic.
 “We have a lot of laughs in our house,’’ he said.
