This my 8th grade graduating class. I know some of you will get a kick out of this. Festina I have your brother John and cousin Joey Deleo.
Suzie I have your beloved brother Michael. I have a picture of Joey Mino.
And Fran I have a picture of Andrew. In case you can't read the names he is on the bottom row, the fourth one from the right.
IF THE PICTURE COMES OUT ONLY HALF WAY I THINK YOU HAVE TO CLICK ON THE PICTURE FOR THE FULL VIEW.

Hi Judy-
The pic was great. It was amazing remembering so many kids from the neighborhood. I did see my neighbor Andrew on there too.
Enjoy dinner at your Auntie's. What a nice break.
Fran -
Suzie Girl--
My sister Laura asked that you say hello to PATTY. She said she really misses the times they used to walk up to John Jay, everyday. Laura mentioned two other girls (besides my cousin Gina) who walked up with them but she couldn't remember their names and was wondering if Patty remembered. Can you find if Patty remembers and who they were.
Gee, everyone from the neighborhood I talk to about this blog takes a really long trip down memory lane. I did when I first started reading and now I am enjoying the trip. Everyday something new comes to mind.
Happy Birthday Jason and Frank! I wish you all the best!
Ok, gotta go cook, I am the Auntie/Mom everyone comes to for Sunday dinner.
Aunt Jeanette--I LOVE YOU! -
GOOD MORNING
-
Fran - OMG I can't believe that was Andrew.....how could a rumor start like that, especially since it seems like he never moved out of the neighborhood~~~~ just seems weird. Well Im glad he is OK. However, Im not too sure you feel the same lol lol lol
Have a good day!!
Judy -
Suzie - After looking at that picture myself last night, boy it brought back so many memories. I mentioned on previous posts that I really am terrible when it comes to remembering stuff. I can't believe some people how they tell their stories in such detail and what great memories they have.
However, its funny how you remember certain things, like yesterday when you mentioned Joey Minos walk....I can't believe it but I could picture him walking down the block and I have to ask you something about your brother did he have a chip in his front tooth, because looking at him last night I could picture him so well. We were good friends and we still saw each other after grammer school. He went to Bishop Ford and i went to Bishop Kearney.
Its really nice to think back at a time when we had no worries, no money problems, no kids lol lol just so carefree!!!!!
Well enough of me...have a good day.

Hi Judy ...thanks again for not giving up last night...but you did it!
and yes my Brother did chip his tooth ....he was riding a bike down 17st about 100mph and tried to turn into the small park that we have ...and crashed into the wall of the house....He was very daring...never thought anything would happen to him....thats why I worry so much about my Son Vinny...he has that invincible attitude. My Son works for D.E.P. while in training last year ...the job didnt have the fire proof pants for them while they practiced on a blow torch....after awhile my Son's leg start to feel hot...he looked down from his goggles and his pant leg was on fire....he had 3rd degree burns to his leg...and they had to graph skin from his thigh to put on his front leg...that was my Xmas last year....anyway ....thanks for giving me the chance to reminess on here ....just tell me to shut up when you get tired...lol!
Enjoy your day out today!
take care for now

SUZIE: I am going out with the kids for a couple of hours, but I wanted to ask if you got to call Joanne and also if you know the Blynn girls from 16th St, Pat, Marilyn and Florence. See you later.

Judy-
I really have to laugh. It does not surprise me that Andrew was thought dead a few times. He came (and probably still does) come close to death many times. I know for awhile, he was in jail and moved to Florida and Pa.
I don't dislike him, I think he is very annoying, a real mess! I have zero tolerance for substance abusers, so I totally avoid him and his wife. It's a shame he and his sister Evelyn never found their way.
Ann Marie and Santina lived on 29 st.way before I did and they can also attest he is live, alive I say! Hahhahha.
Have a great day! -
Good afternoon everybody.
Suzie, I love the glitter picture. Also I wrote on your facebook.
Patsty, I still love reading your blogs. You always have the funniest things to say. Next time I am in Brooklyn, I am definitely going to look you up and try and have either lunch or dinner.
Terry, you still crack me up. My cousin, Maureen Kelly Foy says, hi. Wish I was in Brooklyn to go out dancing with you ladies.
Millie, hi, how are you? Happy Birthday to your sons.
Janet & Judy, I do not know you but, hello and have a nice Sunday.
Sister Lyn, Where Are You???
Festina, I often go back to admire your paintings. What a talent?
Have a wonderful Sunday everybody. Love to all, Lizzie
Howdy, Stranger!
