Brooklyn Back When - Open Thread

Ohhh that explains why I didnt find it in Bklyn yesterday! LOL

how do I log into this blog again?

SUZIE, I SENT YOU AN E-MAIL

Good day all,
Geri, please post or text or call one of us as soon as you can to let us know you are okay. Just sent out a special prayer for you and Francesca
It would be great if every single one of us sends out a special prayer tonight at 9:00pm for Francesca's surgery tomorrow and then again tomorrow morning at 7:00am before her surgery. There is strength in numbers and there are enough of us on here that I am confident God will hear us. Be sure to include all your friends and loved ones, but especially Fran & Geri.

hey danny. i am going to call my cuz geri later.. will let u know what's going on..thanx

HAVE A GOOD DAY
IM OUT THE DOOR, TO NICE TO BE IN, GOT A FEW ERRANDS TO DO, AFTER THAT ,YOU KNOW WERE IM GOING???? LOL

Thanks, Patsy.

I am going to try this again. If anyone remembers Mary DelPezzo or anyone in her family please post something or better yet email [email hidden]

Suzie - Today looks like a good day to close the pool. I'm sure if you ask Robert would lend a helping hand or maybe he'll see this and offer. He's a good guy.

Hello Everyone,

It's been a long time since I've checked in with you guys. It seems I'm totally addicted to "farmville" on facebook (so silly, but relaxing).

Well, probably all of you are getting excited about the thought of seeing friends you have not seen in years and you have all sorts of butterflys in your stomach. What a wonderful, wonderful, magical day it will be once again for everyone. For those who are attending for the first time, be prepared to have the most marvelous time and prepare yourself to laugh and smile for the entire day.

I know it is quite a large list and that is great. Many are going from last year, but I'm not sure if everyone on the blog is attending. I hope all the true, faithful friends from this blog will be going. ESPECIALLY YOU, SUZIE.. You really are an amazing friend to everyone on here. I mean that with all sincerity. You never miss a post and you are helpful to many. I may not blog any more, but I know one thing for certain, many people want to give you a hug for all the support you have shown them throughout this year. I can remember when you first posted. I believe it was you who taught us all how to put our pictures on here. Thanks for all your technical support.

TERRY NORTH, I got your email and pulled away from harvesting to reply to you. It's wonderful that you planned this event once again. I'm sure it will be another great success. I cannot wait to see the pictures of all of you. Take care of Mike our true hero of last year's reunion. He was AMAZING.

I will surely miss seeing you again. It was one of the greatest times in my life. HONESTLY! I was on cloud nine for months. I am losing it right now because it has finally hit me that I will not be there and I can't stop crying now. It was such a special time for me and I know it will be for you as well.

Well, in case I don't get to stop by again, I wanted to leave you with this little poem we used in last year's photoshow:

[A CHANCE LIKE NOW COMES ONCE IN A LIFETIME IT SEEMS
WHEN THE BRIGHT LIGHT OF FAMILY IS NURTURED AND BEAMS.
THERE WILL BE LAUGHTER;
AND TIME TO REMINISCE
AND WE WILL ALL BE PROUD
THIS IS A CHANGE WE DID NOT MISS![/size]
CHEERS TO ALL OF YOU. HAVE A WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL, MAGICAL REUNION.
LOVE,
CHRISTINA

HEY CHRISSY.. HOW R U??? HOP AL IS WELL WITH YOU & FAMILY.. NICE TO SEE YOU ON HERE.

HOW IRONIC, I JUST HUNG UP WITH JAMSEY ON THE PHONE..HE HAS SO MUCH GOING ON... JUST LOVE HIM SO MUCH...

HI PATSY BABE,

I was thinking of you and Grandma Connie yesterday. I made a sauce (I don't make one every Sunday) and your grandmother taught me to put the water in the paste can in order to get all the paste. I swear, everytime I do it, her face comes to mind.

I LOVE MY BROTHER! So funny you were just talking to him. HE'S A DOLL! How many of your family members are going to the reunion?

Talk to you later.

HELLO EVERYONE WHO IS ON RIGHT NOW!

Hi Chris ......I just want to explain why I told Danny the other day .....
Im the way Iam because of where I came from.
Im hard as a rock but weak.
You just floored me with your post .....with lots of tears.

Love ya and thank you!

OMG, Chrissy. I think the last time I saw you, you were about 7 years old. Jamsey was a part of our group on 22nd street. I remember your mom & dad, two really great people. Your face has not changed one bit. I hope all is well with you.

This song is kind of what we all do for..... Eachother!


Thanks again.......

and Danny ....Im gonna take you up on what you just told me ...Im going to
pick up Rob ...and bring him here to help me close my pool......LMAO!

Rob ......relax & breathe ...IM ONLY KIDDING!

LOL

This is for Domino--Do not know if this will help at all but I have the June 1951 yearbook from MANUAL, John Jay's past name. The printer was EASTERN PRESS INC 33 Flatbush Ave Brooklyn. Tel#STerling 3-0500. The photographer was Arthur Studios Inc, 49 W46th St NY NY Tel #CIrcle 7-4125. If John Jay kept using the same people when the Manual Training H.S. name was fazed out, they could have something for you. Good Luck with this ancient information. [-o< :?

Good Afternoon!!!
Prayers for Geri, Franny, Festina, and Kevin, I hope I got everyone. Sounds like something going around up there. The only thing I heard about down here is a stomach virus.
Hello Chrissy!
HB to Festina's daughter, Nikki.
Everyone ---- have a Happy Monday.

Hi Warren ....Im sure that would help Domino out alot.
Now, that Im thinking of it ....I used to go with my girlfriend Denise Vasquez
with her Dad to pick up his paycheck ....at Domino's Sugar Plant ...
back in the day!

Good job Warren......

OH SUZIE,

I did not mean to make you cry. I hope they were tears of joy, though because you should be happy with all the support and love you show these friends of this blog.

Have a great day!

DANNY,

I wish you had a picture of yourself. Are you Charlie's brother? He emailed me the other day and I think I need about a week to reply back to him. Oh Sweet Jesus, this blog never surprises me. I should scroll back to see how many other dear old friends dropped by. So nice to hear from you. Will you be going to the reunion? I sure hope so.

i have to pick up the kiddies from school soon. Wish I chat all day long. This is quite a group these old friends blogging. Don't you agree? It's a miracle how everyone is connecting again.

Have a wonderful, wonderful day!

Love,
Christina

to the end of the line.....I feel sorry for his Mother! (wink)

FESTINA,

I owe you a phone call. It's been too, too long. It sounds as though a few of my friends are sick. I'm sorry to hear that. Please feel better soon.

I'm crying here too! What's going on? Last year at this time, it was mass histeria on the blog & emails over the HOT DOGS! Shall I remind you? I GOT THE HOT DOGS, NO TWIG, ANNE MARIE IS IN COSTO RIGHT THIS SECOND AS WE SPEAK, get her on the cell phone STAT! EVERYONE WHO IS READING THIS BLOG, BRING A FRIGGIN' BAG OF ROLLS, NO, I take that back, Anne Marie just passed the roll aisle and she'll get them. DON'T FORGET THE KETCHUP. How many bottles? I don't know! Let's take a survey or call Karen Dritto, she'll know. LORI, print out the list for the 150th time. Terry needs an updated copy! Oh, my dear Lord, I can go on and on with the LAUGHS during the planning. I'm sure you guys will have a few new stories to share this year as well.

Oh Festina, it was so AWESOME seeing you for the first time at last years reunion. I could not stop hugging you. The pictures tell it all.

Well my friend, I'll catch up to you soon via telephone. By now you should be in the cafe and I would love to hear how it's going. Kisses & hugs to you!

LOVE,
TWIGGY
