HI Everyone:

I'm back-last night I got "LOST" the went to "MARS"(ABC if you can't figure it out) but I Never "IDOL" ON Wednesday nights [-X

OK - SPELL CHECK- if I type a word and it's spelled wrong it has a red underline. Right click your mouse and a list of words appears. Pick out your word and click it and it puts that in place of the misspelled word. This is Franny's BD present from me- You all can share it TOO.

Franny- Happy BD and you may have given me another lead on finding info on Billy. You spelled the name Johnsen. I didn't try that variation.
I'm going to look now for that spelling on the wall.

Paul- never another misspelled word for you

Franny- have to email Pete Sacco now didn't get a chance last night.

You folks are mighty URBANE. Now while I'm gone you all can go to dictionary.com and see if I complimented you or insulted you.

Later

Jim

Hey Jim... I think you must have a spellcheck program on your computer because none of my mis-spelled words are underlined in red...

FRANNY;

HOLY S---. I found him under JOHNSEN. See my prayers to St. Jude always seem to work. I guess this was the reason I found this site. Now you all are STUCK with me.

I have to send an e-mail now and I'll be back.

THANKS AGAIN

Jim
:cheers:

suzie looking at him he is young enough to be my grandson, ill pass him over to my niece franny. BUT I STILL LIKE TO LOOK!!!!!!! i sound like the dirty old lady lol

Hi Suzie:

Not Billy of course(although I'm sure he's reading this from above)
No I e-mailed Pete Sacco, Lucia Pagano and another friend Jackie Mulvey.
the three of us try together every so often and remember the GOOD OLD DAYS. I told them what a great group you were and how you helped me find Billy Johnsen.

Geri: I don't know- I assumed it was part of the program for this blog. I can't believe I'm the only one(maybe it's just for MET FANS) =D>

Hey did everyone look up URBANE. Thank you.

Be right back

Jim

Joe- Happy Name Sake Day....



Have a St Joseph Pastry for Me.... Yum!

Hey Jim - Watched Life on Mars too last night... Love that show. I heard they might take it off the air next season... Hope not!

Hi Suzie & Jeanette...

Jim - You must be the chosen one, because I don't think anyone else beside you has spell check on this site.... Lucky Guy! lol

PS... I am a YANKEE Gal Myself.... GO YANKEES!!!!

Love Those Birthday Cowboys... YEE HAA!!

Alright the boss is away so I can play.(I'm really the boss -just when the owner is here I have to run the show)

SPELL CHECK- maybe it's the browser you are using. I'm using Firefox Mozilla which is a much safer one than AOL or MSE. Try it.

Geri- Enjoy the next 2 shows-THAT'S IT- CANCELLED. However they say they will explain everything in the last episode. If you like this the British version is suppose to be even better but it's not available in USA DVD yet. I'll let you know when it is.

Now for all you 20th St people. I reached back and found that I remember
a bar on I think it was 20 & 5th run by Totto Marino(you all must know that name).My dad had occasion to visit there once in a while(he was a longshoreman)The bartender who worked there had a daughter named Rosalie and she went out with Pete Sacco for a while and wound up marrying a friend of mine Joey Mule of 12th st. She would have been around 17-18 in 68. Ring a bell with anyone.

I heard back from Pete Sacco and he tells me he heard Lucia Pagano had a knee operation. Anyone know about that. I'll try and call her.

Alright that's enough for now. As you can see once I get started I love to talk(I'm Irish after all-BLARNEY IT IS) :-({|=

Your turn

Jim

Happy Birthday Frannie !!! How does it fell to be 21?

Graybeard my cousins Peter and Esther Devita lived on 11th st 4th to 5th

SUZIE THAT IS MY NUMBER ALSO 16 MY BIRTHDAY APRIL 16
HI JIM HI TOMMY

T-Bone 51
My hat's off to you as a CCD Teacher. I taught CCD for 3 yrs (7th grade)and it made me appreciate every teacher I ever had. Although it was very frustrating for me(the kids thought it was a waist of their time) I did receive a very nice letter from one of the parents that made it all worthwhile.

Hi Tommy: the only people that I know well from 11st 4-5 Ave were the Dawson's. How old were your cousins in the mid 60's. I was born in 1949 and most of the people I hung out with were my age. I did play stickball against many of the guys on the block and might not have know all their names. You never know.

Anybody come up with Spell Check yet. I really need it cause in Holy Family the nuns called me James Cant-Spell-Well. Unless it was a 3 letter
word I was out on the first round of the spelling bee.

Jim

YES Jim
It is hard especially with todays kids. I have a wonderful class this year. I like 4th grade they are still young but not too young and not too old and crazy like the 7th graders.
