Brooklyn Back When - Open Thread

Hi Francesca, If Anthony went to Holy Family, chances are my brother might know him.

The Arena family that I know lived on Prospect Ave, they were Larry (I hope that was his name cause now I'm hearing someone call him Frank!) LOL, sister Francine, and brother Re Re (Richard).

Mary Ann L.

Sorry, I should have written all these messages in one post!!! Still new to this and I did write earlier but wasn't logged in, DUH!!!!!

Patsy, wasn't Larry Arena (the one that you knew) from Prospect Ave? Also, thanks for correcting me about the Platt name. So, you dated him, was his name Jocko, we think it's the same guy.

Jim, the Cusimano's lived on 16th st.

Did you have Sister Johnathan, wasn't she the one that could throw a football!!!!! LOL

The brick wall on 11th st. and 5th, we used to play handball, what fun.

To all going on vacation, have FUN!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Patsy!!! Born in 1954, how about you???

That was one thing about living in B'klyn, we always had a ton of friends and if some friends weren't around, you found other friends!!!! And there was always something to do.

Do you recall the Pagano family, not sure what street they came from, my mom thinks 25th, not sure though. They were Terry & Gabby and the kids were Linda and Alphonse. I would say that Linda was born about 1955.
My mom often wonders about Terry, they were good friends. My mom was originally from 28th st.

Have a great day,
Mary Ann
