Subject: pictures of the reunion
hello there, those of us who could not make the reunion would love to see some pictures if possible, sounds like a good time was had by all -
Hi.....this is Bob Horam. I am sitting here writing an endless report but need to stop to make a few comments:
1) If you see my sister Janet (the prolific one) roaming the streets of Park Slope please feed her and make sure her shoes haven't worn out. Hey, I'm a caring brother.
2) Anybody got some topical steroid for my sister Marliyn (heartbreak of psoriasis.....so she says......I think she just spilled some sauce on herself).
3) As far as Sister Georgina, the reason I still carry these mental scars is that as a little kid, I took the title literally. I thought she was actually my much older, obsese and cruel sister (like in Cinderalla). Turns out I have two really lovely, caring sisters (even though they didn't plan and implement the reunion, like some other brother's sister, I still love them).
4) Sissy......any time, any where...... -

Does anyone remember "Loads" ? They were little, white explosive things that looked like white painted splinters and you were supposed to secretly slip them into someone's cigarette.....then watch as the cigarette exploded. They sold them through ads in the backs of comic books, along with "joy buzzers" and "x-ray" glasses that you could use to see through girls clothes. Well one night, I was sitting in Felix's restaurant with several guys from the neigborhood and managed to slip one of those "Loads" into a cigarette that Billy Fox was smoking (we thought it was cool at age 13 to be smoking.....and you could smoke in a restaurant in those days). Unfortunately, the timing was bad and the cigarette exploded soon after the pizza arrived. Ever tried "Tobacco Pizza" ? I wouldn't recommend it. Not even Sister Georgina would eat it. Well, maybe she would.

I remember then, they were a blast....

GO TO MAMAMMAGGIE FDNY ABOVE ON PAGE 36 37 HER CLICK ON HER MAMAMAGGIE AND SHE HAS PHOTOS I AM WORKING ON MINE SEND YOUR EMAIL TO ME [email protected] TERRY ANGELO AND WHO ARE U -
Hey Bob Horan-
Did Sister Georgina ever pour copious amonts of holy water, and stomp and smack you at the same time?- She did that to me, and I wasn't even one of her students-She substituted one day for the other maniacal 7th grade nun, Sister Saint Jerome, who always asked, "Are you a Crusader of Christ?"- I never really did make that club.
Patsy- If Aunt Carol Miele tells me I'm family-I change my name. LOL
Terry-your being a pain about the denim jacket, Brian drove all the way from Montauk to be at the reunion, but ok, if you see Jamesy, give it to him, or ok we'll have dinner. -
Terry- but only if you nice to me-LOL-It would be nice to see

Bob Horan I do remember Loads. Do you or any one else remember Craker Balls -
Cracker balls were those round colored balls that you threw and they exploded on the concrete? They were fun as were punks which never failed to burn somebody, although they did little else except stay lit and smell.

Marilyn Thats exactly right about the cracker balls. I remember using the punks to light fire crackers
