Brooklyn Back When - Open Thread

Good Morning Festina and the rest of you bloggers.

Linda, I went to the far end of Bishop Ford and rang every bell I could find to see if that was where you lived, but had no luck. I went before the reunion to tell you about it. The Elardos didn't go because they had their annual family clam bake the same day and couldn't change it or get away.

I went to visit Rita in the nursing home with my sister Marilyn another time when I was in Brooklyn. Marilyn visited her often.
Hope to hear from you soon. Sent you an email. Bob and Marilyn are on this blog occasionally also.

TAKECARE ANTHONY MORRO

His name was Bob, that's all I remember. One time I had my cat outside and he came over. He said it was his cat, lol. My cat used to go through the yards and cross the street so that Bob could feed him.

have fun janet - post a pic when it's done - i wanna see it!

loved the songs anthony - especially "my special angel!"

TERRY:

I was thinking since the t-shirts only cost between $5 & $6, we can just sell them at the reunion instead of adding it on to the cost per person to keep the price down.
Prospect Hall is $38 per person without the open bar, and $48 with the open bar. Maybe we should take a vote on who wants drinks included. With tax, it is either $42 w/o drinks or $54 w/ drinks.

She did tell Carol that the Hall may only fit 200, but it is inside and larger than the yacht club. That's just in case some may still be holding out for the yacht club, lol.

BRB Festina, nature calls, lol.

Back.

Good morning everyone,
Thank u Festina from Mia. She slept over last night and I did not sleep for some reason. Up every hour and in between I turned into MY MOM MARGIE.I was jumping all over the bedroom, kept on getting cramps in my legs and feet WTF Another day another pain. LOL Ah!!! but I am up and getting ready for church and that is what counts..I got up. LOL
Janet is that Linda Woll
danny's sister???
Peek in later have to get ready for church before she gets up. Kids today never stay home and never grow up even in their 30's. I had kids and ate bagels on a friday night at Debbie and Charlies. We went out once in awhile. Boy if I was getting paid yesterday it would have been time and a half for babysitting. Oh!!! I get paid in LOVE AND HUGS FROM MIA. By the way she came in with Daddy and as soon as he opened the door she says hi Mother F----r. She said GiGi said that (meaning me) the kid will get me killed. I never curse in front of her and say that. LOL

Once again, from the entire staff at The Grand Prospect Hall, have a Happy and Safe Holiday Season.

Someone has to contact Eric to see if we are still penciled in since it's been 6 months since I contacted him. Time is of the essence !!! LOL.

Yes, that's Danny's sister.

Sure Terry, Grandma teaching the kid new words, lol.

GiGi, where did she get that name ???

I have to contact Lucille Nardo, her brother Larry & his wife Michele Devine, and her sister Joanne Devine and her husband about the reunion. I have their numbers but not their email addresses.

Maybe I will just print some fliers up because I have to contact the Crosbys also and a few more. I think this year we will have about 20 people from 20th Street.

Guess I am talking to myself, lol.
Terry did a type by and Festina didn't come back, lol.

well we need to know before we go anywhere. we have to guarantee a certain amount with prospect hall and any other hall.
ok i am playing beat the clock trying to shower get dressed for church before she gets up.
Get back to your pantry!!!

This is Carol at Saint John's.
Boy did we explore that place.

We can tell Prospect Hall 150 to 250. The room will hold up to 300 I believe. All they want is a deposit. We can give them the final count in a month or so.
We just have to get a deposit in.

...GOOD MORNING FROM THE BEAUTIFUL GREAT KILLS, STATEN ISLAND
