EVERYONE GET A GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP
AND HOPE EVERYONE FEELS BETTER TOMORROW

WELL HELLO JIMMY

Hi guys, I still haven't had time to sit at the PC to post my picture but at least Francesca emailed me some great instructions.

Terry you are the life blood of everything so please take care of yourself and get well. I hope all of you that are sick get well. I'll make sure I put some prayers on order.

Carol DL - I had two Night Owl buddies on here, Suzie and Anthony but lately they have been turning in early so I am very happy to see that you posted after 1:00am yesterday. Please come on more often so that I'll have someone to talk to.

I saw a picture of Camille at her daughter's wedding and she is still as pretty as ever. Someone posted that they are looking for anyone who knows Mary DelPezzo or anyone in her family from 22nd Street. Hopefully one you can help her out. I think her screen name was MaryNails.

COME ON IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE ON HERE

HELLO DANNY

OK THATS THREE ANYBODY ELSE WANT IN

SO DANNY
I NEVER GOT TO TALK TO YOU
DO YOU THINK WE MAY KNOW EACH OTHER?

Anthony- you were here and somehow I missed you. I noticed that Carol DL came on late yesterday but hasn't come out to play today. Maybe it's too early for her yet. She does bill herself as the "original" Night Owl.

Anthony you are so awesome if we did not know each other I am sure glad to know you now.

LOL
DANNY
SO I ASKED YOU DO YOU THINK WE MAY KNOW EACHOTHER

I think my brother Angel hung out on 6th ave.

ANGEL SANCHEZ NOW THAT NAME SOUNDS LIKE SOMEONE I REMEMBER
DID HE HANG WITH JOEY VOLPIE

I was in St. Rocco's Drum & Bugle Corps and use to take my uniform to the cleaners on 6th Ave. I lived two doors up from the Catalanos and Froggie and Jamsey Oliva were part of our group and Dominic Bruzzese

At one time he had a girlfriend from 6th avenue I think her name may have been Charlotte C pretty Irish blonde

I KNOW ALL THOES GUY

Yes I slept over his house whenever we had to leave early for a competition because he lived on 4th ave & 26th street and the youth center was on 27th street. Sad story how he ended up he was a very close friend

SO YOU KNOW HES AWAY THEN

His real name was Juan Estrada. Great drummer

I BET WE MEET EACHOTHER ONCE OR TWICE

He was away he died a while back. He came out and went back to using again.

And Andy Diorio the guy who started and ran the drum corps passed away about a month ago.

DANNY HES NOT DEAD HE IS IN A MENTAL HOSP FOR THE CRIM INSAME
FOR LIFE

I spoke to Jerry Mammolito about this a long time ago. Jerry has a law office on 39th & 5th Ave. I only wish it were true that he is alive. I also confirmed that with his brother and his mom told my mom. I hope you are right. I'll call Jerry and get more info and let you know

I WOULD LIKE THAT I LIVE AROUND THE CONNOR FROM HIS OLD HOUSE I LIVE ON 26 STREET AND USE TO SEE HIS MOM ALOT SHE WAS THE ONE WHO TOLD ME HE WAS AWAY FOR LIFE

"MY BOY THEY LOOKED HIM UP FOR GOOD I REMEMBER HER SAYING"

BUT NOT FOR NOTHING SHE WAS NOT ALL THERE

If you have any pictures of yourself from the late 60's email me I'm pretty sure I probably know you. Bosco lived above the store and when you walked into the apartment the kitchen table was right there to your left and the bathroom was on the other side of the table in the kitchen, then there was a small living room and then his room and his moms was separated by a curtain.
