HELLO

Just got home a while ago and read two days of this blog. There are so many things I want to say - and many have already been said!

It was great to meet you: my new friends... (Tony Mei being just one of them.)

And it was the BEST TO BE WITH YOU, all my 'old' classmates, friends, friends-of-friends, mom-of-friends.... you get it.

My only regret is that I didn't have/spend some more one-on-one time
with some of you. But I will be thankful that we had a change to connect
for the time we did. And I know we can stay in touch without a reunion. We all know how blessed we are!

I have some pictures and downloaded them to my computer. Not sure
what to do next to make them available, other than sending some through
email. I'll figure it out.

Once again, thanks to my TERRY, CHRISTINA, ANNMARIE, KAREN, LORI, and whoever.... for creating such a successful event! Maggie, thanks for the pictures; I'll take a look.


TERRY & JUDY
Thanks for the laughs at our pajama party. And it is barn swallow
(a bird) - not bone swallower :oops:

Thanks for taking us for breakfast this morning (my favorite meal).
It gave us a chance to have the runion last for another 1/2 day.
It was wonderful seeing you after all these years and to meet Rosa.


I didn't want to go and single anyone out - cause it was great to see
all of you --->> If I hugged you, I LOVE YOU - please KNOW THAT!!!!!!
Yes, I'm talking about YOU!

Catch up with you soon!
GOD bless your week!

Had a wonderful time. Good to see so many great people. Thanks to all who had a hand in this. It was a great neighborhood with lots of good people. Would have loved to see Jackie Maloney, the Morello's and those guys. See I finally married the girl who thought my hair was too long back then.

Happy Trails,
Charlie Bambino

Hi all

Terry, Ann Marie, Karen, Christine the party was so much fun. You did so much work Jim and I can't stop talking about it. I love the tee shirts. the cake was great! If anyone else was involved please let them know how great it was. The memories will be long lasting.

I can't believe all the friends that were there. I saw 3 cousins that I haven't seen in 35/40 years. Festina Guzzo, Maria Calendrino and Annette DeLeo it was great we have to get together with Susan. I can't believe we live so close Sue, what 10 mins. away. I didn't see the video yet I hope it came good.

Lucia, Deetzie, Fran La Greca, Ann Marie, Terry, Margaret Hickey, Patsy, Carol, Richie Catalano, Jamesy (to name a few) was great seeing you.

Thanks again for the wonderful memories.

SANTINA,
DIDDO TO YOU AND LOVE U TOO. TERRY
I RECOGNIZED U RIGHT AWAY AND HAVE NOT SEEN U SINCE WE WERE LITTLE GIRLS. WAIT I STILL THINK I AM ALITTLE GIRL..LOL

Ralph Marsella, It was nice to talk to you last night. I never did get a chance to see the pictures of the Grid Iron. Feeling bad about that. maybe the next time. You needed my email address [email protected] or [email protected]. I need yours so I could send you my address. I don't know if you remember me or our conversation. I hope so. Santina

Terry, You look terrific. I love your hair. I'm so glad this reunion gave us a chance to meet again. Love San

DONNA - it was great to see you and Kenny too.

What was special for me personally --- when the blog first started - 90%
of the bloggers were from St. Johns (so I felt) - and I had no school
friends. And, NOW, months later - I got to be with my kindergarten thru
grammar school & 10's friends (Maria Calendrino - it was great to see you; not enough time). Kenny was one of my school friends from
early on. He is special and I am happy your lives have turned out well.

Lucille DeCanio and I were attached at the hip from kindergarten through
the 9th grade. We even had to share a desk/seat one season when they ran out of desks. (Smaller ass in those days) :shock:
We only reconnected about a month ago after a chance meeting she had with Jamsey Oliva. Another one of those divine interventions.

I believe that GOD wanted everyone to come together for A REASON,
THIS SEASON. And the beautiful weather HE sent to us yesterday!


TERRY, as you know, WE have been having OUR OWN PERSONAL REUNIONS OVER THE YEARS. They mostly took place over the
phone; yet theywere just as SPECIAL!!!
Watching "Dancing w/Stars" and the pro, Inna is from Brooklyn.

Catch up with you during the week! Love to you and Judy! Don't
miss me tonight. I will miss you two; it was so much fun!
