    BOB HORAN from ELLIOT

    He wanted me to tell you there is a River Festival mid October , kayak,
    rafts pier 98 to somewhere . ? not sure He saw it on a poster.

    Carol

    From me: Thanks for the compliment concerning our dad, He was an incredable man. I always say he was a true angel because without him who knows where we would be. A very dedicated father.

    CHARM'S GREETING & YOUR WIFE (You Tube ) WERE absolutely charming.
    She must get enormous joy training the horse. They are beautiful animals. Thank you sooooo much for sharing that.

    Hi, I am older then you all and lived down a few blocks from most of you. I think it is great that you were able to pull a reunion together and I congratulate you for pulling it off. I lived on 12th St between 5th & 6th Aves in the 30's 40's & 50's. I started a thread looking for old acquaintences in the "Slope" and hope I hear from some of my old friends. :D

    I will send nothing 'fancy' like Snapfish or Kodak - just jpg. copies/file.

    These pictures will also appear on Christina's 'slide show'

    Patsy, I sent them to you xxx!

    Take care and have a great weekend!

    Janet, Old Goat is one of the Carson brothers who lived on 12th ST between 5th & 6th Aves from the 30's through the 50's. The only name I have seen in your entire thread that looks familiar is a young lady named Broadbeck. (pardon the spelling). I believe she was part of the "Brown" family with whom we had a great deal of contact in the 12th Street Reformed Church. It has a different name these days. Since I see no other familiar names or streets mentioned, that is why I started my search on the "Slope" blog. :D:D
