Finding some old friends of mine

fred · February 2009

I used to live in Bushwick area during the early 1960's, around Hart Street. I remember the Myrtle Ave El, Bush wick High School, etc. I wonder if anyone remembers the group of kids that used to run around in the area of Central Avenue down towards Starr Street and Troutman. I know one of the kids name's was Benjie. I think there was a girl (blond curly kind of hair) I think her name was Joan. I would love to find her, and know how she is doing. I believe her Mom was divorced. Her Dad had been in the army.
Also of another friend by the name of Rubin Figueroa, who had lived last years I know at Suydam Street. He had an uncle on Hart Street. He attended Bushwick, but had dropped out. He then took some courses for dental technician. He had a sister who had been murdered, but had several other brothers, nephews, and another sister. I would love to find these if possible!

I used to live in Coney Island, Brooklyn back in about 1960's, when I was a kid. A girl I knew at that time used to live in a house adjacent to mine and I would like to find her, as she and her family were really nice people. I however, don't remember her name, but believe it was something like "Mildred" but not sure. I lived on 22nd Street between Mermaid Avenue and Neptune Avenue (Right in back of the grocery store on Mermaid, but we were on 22nd Street. Her house was one of the three houses in back of the store. Hers was in front of ours. The number of the house may be 22-- or 24-- (last two numbers I don't know!) One house on the side of ours was Mr. and Mrs. Weiner, who had a dog named "Bob"
Also would be interested hearing from anyone who attended P.S. 80 at that time. In my class, there was a girl named Antoinette, a fellow named Irwin, Barry Finklestein, Vincent (He used to like to read all the time and had thick glasses), Antonio (or Tony), Joseph (both of these were cousins), Daniel Pisek (knew a lot about baseball and lived on 27th Street).
Are any of these around still??

So did you live in Coney or Bushwick???
Either way, check out the Brooklyn Back When board, you might find your friends there..

I think those people are all from Park Slope or near Park Slope.
