HI ANTHONY

Thats great Al ....I speak to Tommy a few times a week now....so Im always looking for something to tell him new. I dont know ...if you know he was robbed and shot about 15yrs ago driving a Boars Head Truck ...in Crown heights....he is paralized from the waist down. But, he misses the Ball Playing I think the most....he wanted to go professional.

negative Anthony .....this is for you!

Hi Everyone....thank you all again for all the best wishes and prayers for my mom...it really helped...

SORRY ON THE PHONE WITH JUDY OCCHIOGROSSO

DEB, MY NEPHEW IS A FRESHMAN THERE AND MY SON JONATHAN GRADUATED FROM THERE

IT IS SO FUNNY WHEN WE WERE IN ITALY FOR EASTER MY SON RAN INTO THE PRINCIPAL OF FARRELL AND THE KIDS THAT WERE THERE FOR THEIR SPRING BREAK

We can't even send our kids to school without worrying!!! After all this crap with Samantha, I worry every day until she is home. Even though she calls me I still worry.

JUdy, I just knew you from the neighborhood....I knw your sister Jolene through a mutual friend I worked with years ago, Pam Vitale(they were good friends I believe)....I know your husbands name but didn't really know him....I played st Johns BB, and played in a touch Football league in 73/74 and the guys from 27th streeet were in that league....I played with BillyZ and Yazzo on that team....they had gues like Mike guiltenin, I think Karens Husband Jerry and that crew.....so ask him if he played in that league. We played on concreat down in Red Hook.

Suzie, I am really sad to hear that about tommy....he was always a in shape good looking guy....did he go out with Loretta Falcone.....we were in the same grtade in St. Johns, but really hardley knew each other. Tell Tommy I send my regards if he can remember me.

Terry, are you a nut....lol.....I knew who your brother Carl was but he was a bit younger than me....he may know my brother Lou? I do remember he was quite wild as a kid.
