RONIE SAID SHE USE TO GO ON HER WAY HOME TO A CANDY STORE /LUNCHEONETTE ON 6 AVE AND 21 STREET I TOLD HER THAT IT WAS MY MOM N DADS PLACE
LOL I THINK YOU GOT IT MIXED UP A LITTLE

That's what I thought, but got mixed up there. Do you remember Peggy Murray that worked there during the late 60s??. Her son was Peter and I used to write him when he went into the service. They lived up 21st Street.

I used to stop at the 5th Ave Store on the way home from school.

I often wonder where Peter Murray is these days.

I did hang out in the 6th Avenue store though when ever I could and drink egg creams. Sometimes me & Pat Fairchild would cut church and sit there drinking those egg creams or vanilla malteds. LOL.

......thank god for drums

GOOD MORNING,
Joe hang in there. Mike met someone last night that knew u. He works I think at Manfredi. I will find out later he is downstairs. On my way to the dentist in Brooklyn. WOW. Your Dad so cute.
Hi Millie!!!!

Joe,
By the way, there will be alot of old cars in great ills park tomorrow. Mike can not go we have to go to Bklyn. Around 10 30 I think. Anthony Mei usually goes there. Go keep your mind busy. It is going to be warm. Maybe your little son may want to go

thanks ter....say hi to mike......

.....love peace and happiness
