Brooklyn Back When - Open Thread

Judy Giordano-Banjany: You said it perfectly, and I really appreciate it.

Patsy: Leaving Tuesday or Wednesday.

Jeanette LaGreca: No one was complaining and we did not forget what a great time we had. We are just making suggestions with the thought in mind that there may be double the amount of people there for the next reunion.

Everyone else: Please try to not read anything else into the suggestions made by others. We all had a great time and appreciate all that was done to make it happen. It would have never happened without Terry and Christina. So, some would just like to help with getting ideas for the next one. Doing so does not take away or diminish all the great stuff done by the girls.

Subject: ok

EVERYONE ........... AND TERRY & CHRISTINA

I was sick all day, when I felt better I went on the site. VERY INTERESTING READING MATERIAL TONITE GUYS.

The beginning stages of the survey seems to be NO FORMAL PLACE OR ATTIRE. Everyone wants that including Christina GREAT !!
The food from 9-21-08 was excellant, can we add panelle's LOL

No one should get bent out of shape. EVERYTHING was WONDERFUL on 9-21-08. I am curious so I have to ask, is it sooooo bad that someone or anyone was so moved & excited due to the reunion that they have idea's to put on the table ? Example: It could have been Why hot dogs, we have plenty of food.
Why penny candies.
Why egg creams, why not milk shakes. But for me they were a FANTASTIC addition. By the way I did not have any candy,any egg cream or dirty dogs (TERRY ATE ALL THE DOGS )

I think a simple hall is not a bad idea with air conditioning but I also think outdoors was nice also. So there might not be a dance floor,maybe a singer for 1 hour who can do the St. John's feast music, pull us together in song. It's just idea's from excited people. 9-21-08 WAS EXCITING :cheers:

What ever may be, the point I am making is what you gave everyone & you should go back to that TEAMWORK - you two wonderful people should be in contact sharing, discussing & fighting (only kidding !!!)

Forget the word recruit (as in people for the reunion) Just as Dan Lovaglio told me about the site & encouraged us to attend 9-21-08 so have people connected to others "they know " to join in the neighborhoods bond we have with its people & memories.

I will end with Franny Bruno's words: I post with Love & good intentions.
I will add the word gratitude to "the team" Carol Lovaglio :-#

TBONE

I love the idea of a reunion for our crowd and the older generation. I'd gladly help with emailsexcept I don't know the addresses of anyone!?! :scratch:

Sal

PATSY,

What are you cooking tonight.

Let's not forget that Francesca Bruno Saracino wants to do a neighborhood cookbook. Festina Guzzo has some knowledge (she emailed me) and said she was working on a book and perhaps could lend a helping hand, especially with the graphics, etc. She has a marvelous talent. I'm waiting for her to post her website. Come on Festina, don't be shy!

CAROL DIEZ LOVAGLIO:

Your post (Sun Oct 05, 08 4:22 am EST) was very well said and very necessary to put out there.

Bob Horan: You'll be wearing something "hot" at the next reunion because I'm going to set your ass on fire. I remember those "Loads" that people would slip into somebody's cigarette butt and watch it explode. Well I have the biggest "Loads" in the world and guess where I'm going to slip it.

Sissy Lauterbach

Carol DL: You are the most sensible, well spoken, "together" person.

To those who asked about my wife's birthday, thanks. No heavy metal (she's not a fan). The night before her bday, we went out (the two of us) to a great Mexican restaurant here in Ronkonkoma......worth the trip out here. Unfortunately, I had a heavy-duty "interview" with a congressional investigator on her birthday but on Friday night we celebrated Arlene's birthday again with my son, his girlfriend Alice (who shares Arlene's birthday), sister Marilyn, her husband Frank and one of Arlene's former co-workers. This was at Canterbury's in Oyster Bay......another great place for dinner and a wide range of beers/ ales.

Christina - how does one get involved with this cookbook? I have some pretty good receipes myself.

DAN LOVAGLIO,

Francesca Bruno Saracino had the great idea to make a cookbook. She is going to try and put something together. I thought if we did get it together, we could have them for the next reunion.

Tell me some receipes you have. Do you cook yourself?

FRANNY, how do you want us to get receipes to you? Via Blog or Via Email?
