ALAN LA GRECA 8th Ave-Bklyn. That was great to look at and it had an added bonus for me. A very old friend Elizebeth M. from jr. high I.S.88 lived in that beautiful bldg. with the peak. She did most of the art work in our year book. I have no doubt she went on to an art career.
Everyone should go to the link you provided and take a look. -

LINDA - it looks like we're Incorporated.... our names together.
Yes many years.... and I don't remember somethings well. I did
remember the name of the song, but insignificant now.
I have to scroll up now to see what Terry has been up to tonight.
Looks like she's been busy writing and probably a reunion update.
Guess she wasn't watching her show "America's Got Talent" -
(Hi Terry!) Good Night again! -
Ralph 86th and 7th use to be Mitchell's now Nathans. Is that the place you were talking about?
-
Terry, you are so funny. The more you worry the more you eat, I'm the same way. lol
-
TERRY-
I just read your heart-felt post. True.. We will celebrate BEING and drop
our ego's! Given where we've all come from, I am sure no one will be shallow enough to judge others by the weight they gained, hair they lost,
or whatever.... That's why we are who we are!
--->We'll be thankful for who we were, where we've been, and respect
where we are today. After all, we only have TODAY, so let's rejoice in it!
Good Night for real now... Love xxx Franny B... -

Anthony Umbria,
After all of these years 40+, I'll always remember you and the beatings we took at St. Johns. I remember when you had your fingers severely hurt from a nun.
For some reason, I linked you to hanging out on 7th ave and 22nd. I guess you always stood out in my head. Anyway Anthony, I reached out to you on classmates and am so happy to see you here and know that life has been good to you.
To Terry Angelo, Christina and all others that brought this "family" together:
A massage and facial gift from all of us. "Remedy Spa" for Staten Islanders and Brooklynites, Christina, you will have to tell us your favorite place in Weston.
Bobby B.
Don't worry kid, I never forgot you. I may not remember many faces, but I'll always remember my childhood friends.
With Love

I've been reading over the site. To all the people from "our" old neighborhood: We have found, after all these years and so many changes both good and bad to be fortunate enough to come together. At the time, when we were growing up and having friends in this neighborhood, did we realize just how special everyone was to each other. The stories, memories that we will all be able to share on Sunday will be forever treasured by all of us. After all these years, it is going to be a pleasure to share our lives once again. We have to thank God for this opportunity. We are very lucky to be able to get together on Sunday and set the clock back, even for a moment.
-
Danny and Tbone, I agree. This is a WONDERFUL thing. I can't wait until Sunday.
-
it feels so good to be a regular :-'

Subject: Anthony G. / all
Anthony G. 22nd street Brother Michael? As well as all those who remember (guy thing) playing football, stick ball (23rd &6th ave), punch/ hand ball, kings by Fazio. Remember Joe Gill, John/Robert Gruska, Anthony/Michael Perrota, Michael /Joey Gibbons, Charley C, Tommy M, Kevin Kelly, Tommy G, Raymond/Eddie Gonzowski, Danny/Mike Kiernan, Matt Gaeta, Teddy Wosny (my cousin), Kenny T., Mickey Shannon etc……..
Though some may no longer be with us their memory has been forged in our hearts. Let’s remember & pay tribute to our parents & grands including the girls but that is another story.
Remember birthday parties at Felix’s, Hearts of Stone Billy Quido, Bruce Z, You & I & Steve’s/ Mattie’s groceries & Joe Bebers candy/ice cream store all on 22nd & 6th)?
I have wonderful memories. I often think & smile of a time that was more simplified & where we were all young & naïve. Anthony I wish you and your family the best of health as well as all of you who remember WHEN on this BLOG!
To all I wish you a grand reunion. I can feel the excitement! Though unfortunately I will not be there we all share a time, a place and a connection.
Best regards! Be well! ALL! -
