Brooklyn Back When - Open Thread

SOMEONE SAID
They thought it was a miele reunion WELLLLLLLLL!!!!!!I thought it was a LaGreca reunion lol

Today, I was thinking about Sunday. It was like I went to the corner in Brooklyn, to hang out with friends. Or went to the backyard to chat.
This was more than a party, it was going back, like it was then.

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!!!!!! EVERYONE :sunny:

Put me in for next year, with the help of god.

Terry,

I'll have the yacht club calendar in January we can decide on a date then.
I am so happy to see that there were no complaints and everyone had such a great time. And I agree it was more like a La Greca reunion even if Aunt Marie told the same old stories LOL!
Jerry La Greca Baby Anna Salamone said you better be at the next one.

Terry I ran into Joanne M. today she knows whose black sweater it is she will call you.

For those of you who mentioned Sr. St. Williams I found her I have her Address and phone #
I also found Sr. Ethel Rita now known as Sr. Judith O'Shea she is at Bishop Kearny's Convent.
Maybe we can get them to the reunion next year And any others who are still with us.
Fran I'm going to call you as soon as the phone is free.

Love to All
Ann Marie

Where is Sister Saint Williams? She used to play baseball with us in St. John's school yard.

Karen

Will pass on your hello to my brother - he's still in Bklyn, in Bensonhurst.

Terry, Christina and all of you who helped put this memorable event together, BRAVO!!!!!!!!!! There isn't much else to say that hasn't been said already.

I can't imagine anyone not interested in coming to another Park Slope Reunion. Count the Bonavita's in!!!!

It was unforgetable to see so many people we grew up with, too many to mention and I wouldn't want to leave anyone out.

It was supposed to put my whole name in!!!!

Well I guess it doesn't like McCarthy!! :?

GRACIAS

ANTHONY & DONNA GAGS. IT WAS GREAT SEEING YOU 2 ALSO. ANTHONY, AS HANDSOME AS EVER. DONNA STILL A TRUE BEAUTY.

I HOPE WE SEE EACH OTHER SOON. KEEP WRITING

I found Sister Georgina.....she's doing 10 to 15 at Rikers Island.

.......hey, she told my sister I was headed to the gas chamber when I grew up......because I hit Angela Gallitelli in the face with a snow ball.

By the way, Angela......I'm sorry.....didn't mean it. Guess that's the way little boys show that they like you (they just don't how to express it). So, if you show up at the next reunion, you can hit me in the face with a cannoli.

Hey, Kayak: I still have a lump on my head the size of a rice ball. You shoulda gone to the gas chamber or at least the electric chair. My friend Sissy L. says you'll be lucky if all you get in the face is a cannoli. She's still waiting for a reunion of your face and her fist.
Angie G.
PS Sister Georgina says that when she's sprung from the clink she's gonna get you (after she stops at Lenny's for a pizza first.)

Yo Angie baby......no hard feelings, OK. As far as "springing" that rolly polly Georgina, you betta have a pretty big catapault !

Well, I am heading to bed to dream about next year's reunion (after I lie awake and fantasize about the Italian Princess for awhile). Who will be next year's Italian Princess ? I saw a few prospective candidates on Sunday......never to early to start applying for the position of Italian Princess Park Slope Reunion 2009.
