"Bob" McAleese, Class of 1946, joins us from Palm Coast, Florida
and writes the following.
Hi Skip,
Your Far Rockaway HS web pages are great. I only recently received the notice of the reunion and am sorry that I will be unable to attend.
I graduated in 1946 as an absentee. My graduation was supposed to be in 1945 but I went into the US Coast Guard in 1945 where I earned the credit I needed for graduation. A few years after I got out of the service I attended Pace Collage and received a degree in accounting. I went to work for NY Telephone, then AT&T, Bell Labortories, Bell Communications Research, and then back to NYNEX where I retired in 1991.
I am still in contact with some FRHS graduates whom I still see from time to time. They are Bob Boyland, Ken Altman, Al Ott and a few others - I can't think of their names at the moment.
Most of my time at FRHS was spent on the swimming team and attempting to avoid classes as much as possible. Richie Sierer was our coach and he also was the coach for the rifle team. One thing I hated was having to go into the pool on Monday mornings in the winter as the pool water was freezing due to the heat being shut off all weekend.
Hopefully some of my FRHS friends will see this and contact me.
Sincerely
Bob McAleese

When I registered the last time prior to the 100th Ann. Nothing
was ever mentioned about the returning WW2 Veterans to FRHS. I was one
and also was in the first Graduating class of Veterans. Thought this
info
might be of interest to you. I am still in contact with many friends
from
FRHS and loving every minute. You're right, there was no better place
to
grow up than Rockaway.
