HI FRED!!!!! ENJOY YOUR DAY!!!!

HELLO EVERYONE

I AM RELAYING A MESSAGE FROM MARY ANN FUSCI SHES HAVING A HARD TIME GETTING ON HERE THIS IS IT

Hi Anthony,
I know I asked you before if you knew Jackie MacLauglin...it's funny that his wife should be mentioned today....Joanne
They were mentioned because Chicky Venditto was mentioned... I used to hang out with Chicky back in the 60's, we were very good friends, Her Franny, Me and my friend Carol from l7th Street.....we used to go to Henry's when Ralphie and the band played every Friday nite...If you can pass the word for me, if anyone see's Chicky tell her Cookie and Mary Ann says hello. also if anyone see Jackie tell them to say hi for me...We were very good friends back when your father owned the store..that brought back a memory for me.....what a blast from the past that was.....
Hope your feeling ok...........
Love Mary Ann

HEY JOEY

SORRY I HEAR ABOUT YOUR SISTERS MOTHER IN LAW
MY PARYERS GO OUT TO THE FAIMLY

UMBRIA,
JOANNE AND JACKIE WERE MY MOMS TENANTS FOR YEARS. WE SOLD THE HOUSE WHEN MY PARENTS DIED AND NOW SHE DOES NOT TALK TO US.. WE WERE SUCH GOOD FRIENDS. OUR YOUNGEST BOYS ARE THE SAME AGE THEY USED TO PLAY TOGETHER ON 20TH STREET WHEN THEY WERE SMALL. IT IS SUCH A SHAME.. WE WERE SUCH GOOD FRIENDS, WE WERE LIKE FAMILY,. I REMEMBER WHEN THEIR SON JOHN PASSED AWAY. WE HAD TO SELL THE HOUSE NO ONE COULD TAKE CARE OF IT. THEY GOT PISSED AND NOW WE HAVE NOT SPOKEN IN 10 YEARS. WHAT A SHAME. JOANNE AND I GREW UP ON 20TH STREET TOGETHER. THEY STILL LIVE ON 20TH STREET BETWEEN 4TH AND 5TH I BELIEVE. SO TELL MARY ANN.
CHICKIE AND JOANNE WERE OLDER THAN ME BUT WE ALL GREW UP TOGETHER.

I CAN USE SOME POINTERS-IN A BAD SLUMP THE PAST 2 WEEKS.

I BEEN BOWLING ONCE A WEEK IN A MONEY LEAGUE FOR ALMOST 20 YEARS NOW. I RUN BETWEEN 180-185 AVG. DROPPING QUICKLY LATELY 182. BUT I HAVE REBOUNDED THE LAST FEW YEARS AT THE END OF THE SEASON SO I'M HOPING FOR THE BEST. TEAM SUCKS THIS YEAR BUT IT'S BETTER THEN SITTIN HOME.

I BOWLED FOR MANY YEARS(LATE 70'S EARLY 80'S) AT MAPLE IN THE THURSDAY 9 PM 5 MAN LEAGUE(NOT THE REAL GOOD ONE) AND USED TO GET HOME 2 AM AND BE UP AT 5:30 FOR WORK. I WAS PRETTY USELESS FRIDAY MORNINGS :shock:

IF YOU HAVEN'T BOWLED IN A FEW YEARS YOU WOULD PROBABLY CARRY AN EASY 180+ AVG WITH THE NEW SYNTHETIC LANES. ARE YOU BETTER THEN YOUR HUSBAND? I KNOW A FEW WOMEN WHO ARE(BOWLERS THAT IS)

PATSY

I BOWL IN HAZLET NJ AT AIRPORT PLAZA LANES.

I STARTED BOWLING AS A KID IN REGAL LANES ON 5TH AVE TWEEN 7-8ST. ONLY HAD SEMI AUTOMATIC PINSETTERS WHEN I STARTED.
I BOWLED AT PARADISE LANES ON 4TH & 27TH(WHICH IS NOW THE HOME OF THE 72PCT)
I ALSO BOWLED AT MELODY TILL I WENT IN THE ARMY IN '68
THE ONLY OTHER PLACE I BOWLED IN BROOKLYN WAS LEEMARK ON 88TH ST. DON'T THINKS IT'S THERE ANYMORE.

HI JIM

MY HUSBAND BOWLS AND CARRIES ABOUT 190-195 AVERAGE. HE IS REALLY GOOD. I WAS DAMNED GOOD FOR A WOMAN BACK IN THE DAY. TRIPLE CROWN TRPOHIES, HIGH GAMES, HUGH AVERAGE, EVEN GOT TO BEAT MEN IN THE $$ POOL. THAT WAS THE BEST LOL

FUNNY THING THOUGH, I BOWLED FOR SO MANY YEARS & WORKED IN BOWLING CENTERS, THAT I JUST DON'T MISS IT. IT BECOME TO ROUTINE. I ACTUALLY WORKED 6 DAYS A WEEK AT MELODY & BOWLED 6 LEAGUE IN 5 DAYS. IT WAS INSANE. I BOWLED ON MY ONE DAY OFF A WEEK.

YES, LEEMARK LANES CLOSED ABOUT 3 YRS AGO, CENTURY PROPERTY.. BEAUTIFUL MULTI LEVEL PARKING GARAGE NOW FOR CENTURY 21 STORES ON 86 TH STREET

BACK TO WORK, PEEK BACK IN LATER :0

JIM, YOU SOUND LIKE YOU LOVE IT.. KEEP DOING IT!!!

I ALSO RAN A SUMMER LEAGUE FOR WOMEN, A MIXED LEAGUE IN THE WINTER. WOW,
YOU BROUGHT BACK MEMORIES FOR ME JIM WITH THIS REMINISCING OF BOWLING DAYS THANX

TALK TO YOU LATER

You live near Hazlet. I have to go to a wake on rt 35 shore point funeral parlor. That is right on 35 correct..

HI TERRY, JIM LIVES IN MARINE PARK BROOKLYN, I THINK. I KNOW IT IS SOMEWHERE IN BROOKLYN HE STILL LIVES. HE BOWLS IN HAZLET nj

Hi Everyone - just came back from lunch and really didn't want to come back in! Beautiful day. I'm going to try to leave early and take advantage.

Joe - my sympathies to your sister and her family on their loss.
