Subject: WHAT A BLAST!!!
Terry, Christina and everyone involved in getting this reunion off the ground. YOU DID A GREAT JOB!
I can't tell you how much fun Debbie, Vinny and I had. Seeing people like Ralph Marsalla and his Mom Rosie; Anthony Mei; my dearest friend Anne Marie Paladino and her sweet husband Anthony. As my mother would say, the beautiful "Giordano girls". The many families that knew the Bonavita's growing up in Park Slope, e.g., the Olivas, Angelos, Rizzos, LaGrecas, Drittos, Castaldos, Gagliardis, Pugliesis, Weigands, Guzzos, Tanzillos, Mieles (I hope I haven't missed anyone, if so, my apologies). It was great to see all of you. The memories you brought back to me and the many I made yesterday will remain with me forever. I hope this will be a yearly event.
Patsy Miele Kirk, you can ride in my tank of a car any time. You are so much fun. Sophia, I promise to tell my Aunt Rosie that I saw you.
My deepest thanks to all of you!! -
Yeah, I finally made it onto this site. It only took me 20 attempts. Terry and everyone who brought us all together. You are all awesome beautiful people. Thankyou for all you did. It was a memory I will share always. It was wonderful to reconnect with my dear childhood friends and seeing pictures of their beautiful families. Carol it was wonderful to see you again. You are still so beautiful. Santina my neighbor, it certainly is a small world. hope to set up a lunch with Festina and my cousin Debby in the near future. ( Carol we definitely must get together).
Everyone was so warm and friendly. I had a great time. My head is spinning with all the names and faces. Great to see the Castaldo family. Golino family, Donna nd Kenny, Guzzo family, Dritto girls, Miele family Franny and Agnes (Ferrara). OMG I want to remember everyone but I know I'm forgettng some names. Sorry. Terry, thanks for the memories. -
HI SUSAN IT WAS AWESOME AND BITTERSWEET TO SEE YOU AND ANNIE AND LOUISE AGAIN. YOU LENTINI SISTERS ARE STILL AS BEAUTIFUL AS EVER. SAY HI TO THE "TWINS" FOR ME. AND PLEASE A BIG HUG TO YOUR MOM

I love you Twiggy!!! I hope the trip home was a good one. Did you eat the bastabadane? -
Hello everyone.
I have to say the reunion was "Spiritual".
For me, my greatest joy was to see the Miele's in full force. Pat, Carol, Roseann, Charley, Patsy, Angela. The memories and good feelings you evoke in me are bottomless. My life is so enriched for having you guys in my life, past, present, and future. I know I can speak for my entire family. We have to get together for a big dinner somewhere and soon. [/color]
The Golino's- Theresa, Rosa, Angelo (a miricle to see you again) Sophia, (an even bigger miricle to see you agian) Anna Rauci, wonderful to see you agian. Tell Sossio, I said hello.
Mille Gags- unbelievable to see you again. A whole other set of memories.
All the Gagliardi's- Terry, Pat, Anthony it was great to be able to talk to you again.
Ralphie Marsella, thanks for taking the time to show me all those photo's of the Brooklyn Beatles, and the Beaten Path. Remember what I said, you and that band, spread so much joy around with your music, your personalities, and your friendship. That's very special and you should be proud of it. We are all grateful that the Beaten Path was part of our lifes.
Tony Mei- When I finally figured out who you were, I almost pissed myself. It was so much fun to see you and talk to you again.
Joey Guzzo, Anthony Rizzo- Make sure you stay in touch. Let's get together for dinner.
The Castaldo Sister, Wonderful to see you again.
Nilda, Lucia, Deetzy,
Ralph Sureto and your friend or wife or girlfriend ( sorry I forgot her name) thank you so much for saying hello to Mary H, for me. Please give her my deepest sympathies for the loss of her Mother.
Anthony and AnnMarie. The Bonavitas. Great to see you again.
Terry (T Bone) you're actually a very good looker.
But not as good looking as and my beautiful sister Christina aka Twiggy
Thank you so much for arranging such a great event. Christina that portfolio of photos you made was awesome. Thank you I love you.
Geraldine I was so happy you made it. It would not have been the same without you.
If I left anyone out I'm sorry. Again it was a great event.
One problem. Terry, I don't think we could ever top yesterday again, but who know's maybe we can. -
Subject: reunion
Linda Joy... Great seeing you. Now I have a face to put with the name. I knew you right away too. I'm so glad that you were able to get in touch with Susan. It must be almost 40 years since I saw her. Hope we can all get together again.. one time just isn't enough. Stay well and take care of those precious grandchildren. -
Jerry Lagreca.
Sorry, no relation to a margaret Reitz. It's not a common name so I know I would know them. Sorry......... -
Ralph T. Funny I was thinking the same thing today. We spoke so briefly after such a very long time. I recognized you immediately. Your face hasn't changed. I hope all is well with you. You look wonderful as did so many others. Hope we can do this again. Hope Terry's up to the task. I must give her and her crew a round of applause for all their hard work. Can't wait to see what they pull out of their bag of tricks for next year!!! Be well.

To All.... Wonderful, Wonderful,Wonderful. That's all I can say. I had a better time at this reunion than I've had at most POSH weddings. Proves one thing.. it doesn't matter about the decor or the ambiance or the view. What's important is the company, the food and the liquor. We had an abundance of all three. It was truly a moving experience that I will not soon forget. Thank goodness Lori discovered this site and Terry ran with it. Cheers to the Angelo girls. Lori... thank your brother -in-law for the great food. He never fails.
Terry... So what's up your sleeve for next year? I'm sure your wheels are already turning. Remember, I'd love a reunion cruise but not until 2010. Got to get this wedding paid for first. But maybe everyone can start thinking about it and start saving for it. Could be a lot of fun. Love to all. -
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE, I AM EXHAUSTED. I WAS SO WOUND UP AFTER THE REUNION, I GOT VERY LITTLE SLEEP LAST NIGHT, IT IS FINALLY CATCHING UP NOW AND ESPECIALLY AFTER A FULL DAYS WORK.
GOOD NIGHT & GOD BLESS [-o< -

sometimes our lives are so hectic and we dont get a chance to sit and reminise. after i got home sunday i sat and just thought about my life growing up in our very unique neighborhood. the people i saw brought back so many memories. if it wasnt for sunday, i would never have sat back and thought about the people i hung out with or the people i went to school with or just the people i grew up with in our neighborhood. life is so short and it made me realize how precious my life was growing up. THANKS AGAIN TERRY AND CHRISTINE. YOU DID A GREAT JOB. -

Terry Ann--Thanks so much for all your hard work. It was great to see you and my old classmates Angelo Golino, Anna Raucci, James Oliva. I only wish I had taken a picture of all five of us together.
If the bracelet you found (or if anyone else found it) is crystal cubes with a magnetic clip, it is mine. I would be so happy to know someone found it!
Thanks, again.
