BILLY BROWN,
So nice to see you on the site. Tell Jimmy that I send my best to him. Years ago, when our kids were young, we used to go apple picking down in Freehold and have picknicks in battleground park. Give my best to Elaine.
Hope to see you

TINA I think your right about Louise, I had that in my head too but it just didn't sound right. Oh well..... My son will be 19 in Nov. and yes way back I was with Peter. Broke up for awhile and we did get married. We have a 26 yr. old daughter also. Have a good time in A.C. and hope you hit if you bet. What casino do you stay at ?

JANET ...... sleeping ?

BOBBY BANJANY, the Aversano's were having laughs tonite over you bringing up 20st. BULLDOGS anyone ever take pictures back then ?
Do you remember when Nicky fell On Joey and broke the wrist / arm ?
Getting back to Pete & Dan can you tell me more , Dominick is not doing it., not making him remember as u thought it would . Were you ever in thier house ? Where did Dom live ? -
MAMAMAGGIE we don't know each other (I don't think so anyway) but I know Janet retired FDNY.
Reason I'm making contact is Terry Angelo & I were discussing taking a group shot. A wide angle lens is needed for this many people correct ?
Is it even possible in a confined area.
I saw you are a photographer FDNY and took a look, no better person then you to ask.

I am still in Staten Island...GREAT KILLS, although I also have a place in Hollywood Beach, Fl. where I spend quite a bit of time.
My brother Michael use to live in Marlboro but recently moved to Old Bridge.
I play golf at a lot of the coures down your way, Cream Ridge, Knob Hill, Etc, etc.
I am looking forward to Sunday's Reunion...after all of these years, we will once again be back together, hopefully our friendships will re-connect.."we can never have enough FRIENDS" in our lives.

Terry Angelo (T-Bone)
, I would like to thank you for your gracious offer to email photo’s after the reunion . I will email you as soon as I return home & look forward to receiving them.
My cousin Teddy Wosny is now retired in Colorado after living in Miami for many years. I was good friends & classmate (St. John’s) of Elizabeth Gruska. Were you & I in the same class together @ St. John’s (G-66)? I have a sister Cynthia Kozar (G 62’) & my cousins Linda Kozarzewski (G 64’) & Diane Wosny(G64'). The rest of my cousins went to OLC on 25th street.
Have a wonderful time at the reunion & give everyone a hug & a smile from me.
This site has brought back many fine memories. I would like to thank all of you for making this possible.
Once again thank you Terry.
Stay well,
Steve Kozar -
Anthony G.
I was very happy to read your response. I am away & will call you when I return home. I remember your mom & dad very well. Teddy’s father & my father were brothers.
It appears Ellen Marra gave your email to my sister as usual it slipped her mind. You know how that works. I have seen your Uncle Mike/&Ellen Marra occasionally over the years at my sisters & would always ask how you, Mike, Clare& Pat were doing.
Remember buck buck, dodge ball, coco leeveo, tortureo leveo & going in Greenwood cemetery. How about the bandshell @ Prospect Park, dances at ST. John’s & YMCA. Chipping in for wine & finding someone 18 to buy it & than having to pay them. Thunderbird, Ripple, colt 45 mixed screwdriver etc…………I will call you.
I also seem to remember Anthony Umbria was he cousins with Alice Marino? I was sad to learn that Matt Gaeta passed away we were all such good friends. I see you play golf so do I ! Maybe we will play a round one day.
Stay well,
Steve K. -
Steve K. I do remember your cousin Diane Wosny. She was in my sister Marilyn's class and we both lived on 21st Street around the same time when both our sons were in school together.

GOOD MORNING ALL. T.G.I.F.]
2 MORE DAYS AND WE COME FULL CIRCLE AGAIN. EVERYONE TRAVELLING FROM AFAR, PLEASE BE SAFE AND CAREFUL.
A PLACE CAME TO MIND LAST NIGHT TO ME, AND I DO NOT KNOW IF IT WAS MENTIONED ON THIS BLOG AT ALL. THE PIZZERIA ON PROSPECT AVE AND 7TH? OR 6TH? AND THERE WAS ALSO A BAR UP THERE SOMEWHERE, BUT I CAN'T REMEMBER THE NAME OF IT. ANYWAY, AT WORK, I WILL PEEK IN LATER HAVE A GREAT DAY :shock: [/b] -
Morning Everyone: 2 Days to go and I have to pack and pull it all together before getting on the road. Can't wait to see everyone and BROOKLYN !!! If I get in early enough, the first place I am going to will be Randazzo's Clam Bar in Sheepshead Bay. They refuse to give me the recipe for their Medium Sauce. I have even threatened to kidnap their mother and get it out of her, but Paulie refuses to give it to me !! So, I have to keep testing it.
-
The Pizzeria was on 7th. Not too sanitary but I won't go into it here, lol. I don't remember any bar on Prospect except Lauderbacks between 6 & 7.

italian princess is probably someone we know not cecilia verba...and i liked that girl. roseann marino was always the one to be dressed in her holy communion outfit and go on the float with the saints. no one had a chance to do that. at least i never had the chance!

Subject: DAILY SLOPE
good morning janet, yes the pizzeria was on 7th ave and yes lauderbachs bar. went in there once for a small b/day party. it was ok. i am not one to hang in bars. i did love the clubs though. dancing on friday and saturday nights, sometimes sundays too, but that was once in a while due to work the next day. anyway, when are you leaving on your journey down here? be safe.
[/b] -
I am going to try to leave early tomorrow morning, around 5 am so I can get to Brooklyn before 6pm.
I never went into Lauderbacks, or any bar in the neighborhood. Just went to the dancing places in Bay Ridge. -
GOOD MORNING ALL -
Terry and I just had an email conversation. Think it is important that no
uninvited guests participate in our reunion, including reporters, photographers, etc. (unless we know who and 'approved).
I know we'll all wear our beautiful name badges that Christina lovingly made, so we know who WE ARE and OTHERS... And I am strongly suggesting we wear them and question anyone who is NOT WEARING a badge. Like Airport Security, or corporate america protocol.
Yes, I'm slightly more paranoid in my wiser days.... Just think this is a
private affair and we're not looking for our own reality show even though
Terry and I would love that.
Food for thought....Catch up with you later.. TGIF! -
Tina Joy - Again, thank you for the re-connect with Ralph. It would have been great to see you at the reunion. This is a once in a life time event for all of us to see each other after so many years. I understand that you have prior engagement but you will be in our thoughts that day. Stay safe and maybe we can connect soon in the future.
Janet - I know the excitement is building. Just be careful on the road and don't let your mind wander too much. It will probably wander when you are on your way back down south. Sunday will be a great day!
Carol DL - I'll see you and Peter Sunday. Remember, I'm sleeping over your house that night. Tell Loriann to have the sushi ready!/
Billy Brown - Wow! Long time no see. (boy, that's original...) anyway, Ralph was telling me that you guys work together. It would be good to see you and your brother Jimmy. -
Is that Billy Brown from 19th Street?? WOW.

Carol DL - Yep, I remember when Joey broke his arm.. That was about the end of our football team.. Where is Joey today.. Last I heard he had a food truck on Wall st. Probably 20 yrs ago...
Anthony Gags - I look forward to seeing you this weekend.. It has been many years !! I will be the little fat guy... Still got my hair though !! -
Steven K.
Sorry to hear you won't be at the reunion. It has been great hearing from many of our old classmates. This blog has been wonderful. I hope all is well with you and your family. For me, I'm married almost 33 yrs. and have 2 girls. My oldest is marries with a 9 month old girl. My youngest is 21 and finishing her last year of college. Thank God......... Hopefully there will be another reunion soon and we'll see you there. Give my best to your sister.

Amazing Race (I love it, as you know) but not Survivor. I can't kill a bug, never mind eat one. So let's start training for 'Race' after reunion.
Can't you see all these amazing people on the Site cheering us to the
Finish Line. =D> =D> :salut: "Yeah, the Brooklyn Babes win the race."
Howdy, Stranger!
