There was one ride in particular coming back from 3rd st park with Peter and Bobby in the back but its a long story, I'll get it on here later. The movie I think is out on DVD already and my cousin used my grandfathers name D'Orio.
I looked up your cousin on the internet. He was in quite a few famous pics. He really does have a great face for many different characters, ethniticities and roles.
Would love to hear about the "car ride." We had some really fun times with Mickey back then. Very daring, if not down right dangerous!!!!!! Boy, the things we did back then and we're still her to talk about them. Amazing! -

[quote="PATSY (MIELE) KIRK"][b]YES, PICTURE US WEARING CIGARETTES ON OUR WRISTS. OUR PARENTS WOULD HAVE KILLED US LOL[
Oh Patsy I think "Kill You" is a little drastic. They just would have whacked you on the butt, banned you from leaving the house for a month except for school. This of course after a 1 hour grilling as to where you picked up this filthy smoking habit!!! -
Paul Giglio wrote: Hi Warren, regarding Jerry Mcfee, he was one of Danny's older brothers along with George, Gutch, and Ronnie from 16th street between 5th and 6th ave right across from the 72 pct. I think the age is probably about right. I got to know a lot of the older guys in the neighborhood because my father had a Pet Shop "Gigs" on 6th ave bet. Prospect and 16th. Mostly pigeons, pigeon supplies, feed grain etc. and many of the guys for some reason caught on to the sport of breeding and racing homing pigeons. Some others were Billy (walter) Clark, Jackie West, Frank Garcia, Walter Murack. Anyway just some other names to tinker with.
Okay, thanks for the info. One more question. Was there also a Janet in the family?

If you don't want the picture to be sooooooooooooooo big, you have to edit it in photobucket first before posting.

I went to Bayridge hs myself and just went to a reunion. One lady graduated 1929 can u believe that. What about Spinners supermarket I think around 16th street????The prospect was the rko right!!! I remember J. Michaels furniture store it was my Dad's competition on some items like lamps. My grandpa and Dad's store was Michael's Lamps and
gifts on 5th ave. between 20th st and 21st street near D'Amico's Pastry shop.
My dad worked for a glass co. on 21st street closer to 5th ave between 4th and 5th before he owned the store. My Grandpa owned a used car lot on 4th ave I think called Lanterns?????He sold it when my dad went to fight the war. wwII. Did I add any new memories for u. love terry tbone51 -
