If you are interested in planning a reunion for the Class of 1959, Click Here
Hi Skip,
I heard something about a reunion for the '59 class in Aug/Sept, 2001 (I'll be in NYC from Aug 9-27) but I didn't find it posted on the website so I'm wondering if indeed there is such a thing and if so who can I get information from. Thanks! Alyne Bat Haim (Glazer) Email address: bathaim@internet-zahav.net
If the Class of 1959 is planning anything for this summer, please contact Alyne. Thanks, Skip
Dear Skip,
I am in contact with Carole Waxman Cohen, class of 59 and we started forming a committee for our 50th reunion to take place in June 2009. We are looking for classmates who stay in contact with lost classmates from the class of 1959 who would like to attend as well as helping us with the planning. We hope to have a pre-50th in 2008 for the class of 59 because who knows what the future will bring. Carol and Skip, can you please help us by providing the most current email addresses for the class of 59 and phone numbers if possible. Thanks so much.

Hello to all my old FRHS friends: Attended P.S. 106 in Edgemere
from
the 6th grade (Mr. Goros) to the 7th Grade (Myron Steinberg) where I
moved
over with my class to Benjamin Cardozo JHS. As our class was too large
to
graduate at the Jr. High, we had to graduate at Brooklyn College,
but having the honor of being the first class to graduate from Cardozo
Jr. High. Then off to FRHS we went. I spent 3 wonderful years as one of
the "Happy Days Girls :-)" when I met the love of my life Aaron. Aaron
and I were only 16 1/2 when we met. Aaron and his family moved from the
Bronx at the suggestion of Lois Golowesky's mom & dad. Boy,
was
I glad he did! When Aaron and I met, he was already in college although
we were the same age. The reason for this was that Aaron had the good
fortune
to have graduated from his high school at 15-1/2. Well, Aaron
attended
my graduation and escorted me to the prom. We got engaged in June
1959 and were married in January 1960 and will be celebrating our 41st
wedding anniversary shortly. Although I have had a very happy life with
my husband and family, my days growing up in Far Rockway are very
special
memories which I will never forget.
I am waiting to organize another reunion to take place in Aruba for a long Memorial Day Weekend (a Wednesday to a Sunday or Monday) in May 2001. If you are interested in attending, I will put one together. Kindly e-mail me your name, address and telephone number at kla11660@aol.com. Bring the kids, too, and let's bring back our "Far Rockaway Happy Days. "
I got married in January 1960. An old friend, Lois Golowesky, turned out to be a first cousin of my husband Aaron. We have three wonderful children, Wayne, Glenn and Heidi. Wayne has given us one beautiful grandson and two beautiful step grandchildren. Our step grandaughter will be making us greatgrandparents very soon. Our son Glenn is getting married on October 2, 2000. Our daughter Heidi will be getting married sometime in 2001. As for myself, I stayed home for many years raising my family on Long Island until I went back to work in 1979. I got involved in the employment recruiting business in 1986 and opened my own employment recruiting business in 1993. Aaron and I just moved to New Jersey so that we would have a shorter commute to work. Oh, one more thing, we love to visit Aruba and have been going there since 1979. I was trying to have a FRHS reuion in Aruba but only a dozen or so people responded. If anyone remembers Karen Klein or would like to have a reuion in Aruba, I would be delighted to hear from you.
The photo in contest #5 is none other then Mr. Louis A. Bach, Pricipal of JHS 198. I hope the spelling is correct. It is such a long time ago. :-) I was in the first graduating class of Cardozo Junior High. My class had come over from P.S. 106, Beach 35th St in Edgemere. Some of my classmates from P.S. 106 were Roslyn Rogers, Ellen Sommerspitz, Harriet Foster, Rochelle Rice, Susan Davidson, Suzanne Schnoll, Eleanor Kalisky, Eddie Wendell (his father owned the Lunchenette on Edgemere Ave and Beach 34th St), Barry Landau, Jordan Rosenberg, Lenny Shalansky, Stanley Rothchild, Eddie Cantor and Phillip Aries and Louis Stroller (his father owned Strollers Mens Store on Beach 20th Street) Many of us lived in Wave Crest Gardens and we used to take the Green Bus at Seagirt Blvd.
A quick story to tell: One of the boys used to call me names during changing of classes (departmental?). On this particular day he called me a name and kicked me in the chins. :-). I got so mad that I dropped my books and jumped on top of him to beat him up. It took a couple of teachers, Mr. Bach and the Assistant Principal to drag me off of him. The boy's name was Alan Lovich. Anyone know what happened to him? I think I was in the 8th grade.
I am looking for classmates from Mr. Steinbergs P.S. 106 class that moved off to Cardozo with him. Sad story to tell though. Mr. Steinberg passed away several years ago. I was in many of Mr. Steinberg's plays in both P.S. 106 and Cardozo. Love to hear from some of my old classmates. And..it's not too late to plan a reunion for the class of 59. Please email me at kla11660@aol.com

Dear Skip,
I am looking for Marjorie Kahn, class of 1959. The last I knew she moved to Toronto, Canada after graduating Brooklyn College. She used to be friendly with Phyllis Saffer- I'm also looking for her. Does anyone know where they are?

Stan Rothschild, Class of 1959, joins us from Winter Haven, FL and writes the following.
Dear Skip,
I do not know which year you graduated but both my wife and I are graduates. Me in 1959 and my wife, (Eileen Gabriel) in 1960. We would love to be listed in the class listing under our respective names.
We went to the reunion and had the blast of our life. Seeing everyone again was just fantastic. The football game was outrageous because everyone was just waiting for Jack Kirshman to take the field like the old days. The "Great Event" was just that and anyone who chose not to attend really missed something special.
Thanks to all of you on the various committees who brought that weekend about and can keep all of us connected through the internet. We just came on line and cannot wait to meet and greet our lost friends.
I hope to hear good things soon, and thank you for adding us to the list.

Karen (Klein) Lutzker, Class of 1959, joins us from East Rutherford, NJ and writes the following.
Dear Skip and Carol,
First of all, let me say that it is wonderful that Far Rockaway High has their own special web page. You sound like wonderful people to care enough to keep the Far Rockaway name alive. My daughter Heidi recieved your message today and forwarded it to my e-mail address. Heidi's e-mail address is mxmascat@aol.com.
My name is Karen (Klein) Lutzker (class of 59) and Heidi's e-mail address is next to my name in the directory. I have my own e-mail address now. It is kal11660@aol.com. I would appreciate it very much if you would use the kal address instead of the mxmascat address. Just to let you know a little bit about me. :-) I moved to Wave Crest Gardens when I was 11. I attended P.S. 106 in Edgemere. My teachers were Alexander Goros in the 6th grade and Myron Steinberg in the 7th & 8th grade. I understand that Myron Steinberg passed away while teaching a class at Cardozo back in the 80's. Does anyone remember him? He was such a great guy, always doing special things for his beloved students. During the 7th grade I moved with my class to Benjamin Cardozo Jr. High in Arverne. I was in Mr. Steinberg's drama club at P.S. 106 and Cardozo. It was a great experience moving over to Cardozo because all of the surrounding schools that moved over there gave everyone the opportunity to make new friends. Did you know that the class of 59 was the first graduating class at Cardozo? Our graduating class was so large, that we had to hold our graduation at Brooklyn College. Can you imagine that the 59 graduates had to be accomodated once again at Brooklyn College for the graduation?
When I was 16 1/2 I met my husband Aaron Lutzker. He was from the Bronx and moved to Far Rockaway when he was 16, because of his cousin, Lois Golowesky's family. His mother and Lois's father were sister and brother. Believe it or not, Aaron and I met on our own. I was friends with Lois and never knew that Aaron existed. Aaron came to the senior class play and graduation with my parents and escorted me to the Prom. We became engaged Valentines day, 1959 and got married January 16, 1960. We have two son's and one daughter and are grandparents of a beautiful 4 year old named David. We have lived in Nesconset, Long Island, New York for the past 28 years.
I am headhunter in New York City. Aaron and I attended the 100 year reunion last September and had a great time. I was dissapointed that there were only a handful of 59-ers there as we were the largest graduating class ever at Far Rockaway High. I hope there will be a 40 year reunion in 1999. If anyone from our class is interested in attending a class of 59 40 year reunion and would like to help get it going, please have them contact me by e-mail at kal11660@aol.com. My fax number is 212-682-4140 and my office phone number is 212-682-4120. Thanks again.
All the best,
Karen (Klein)Lutzker

Dave Schnitzer, Class of 1959, joins us and writes the following.
Thought I would take a moment to let you know that your page about FRHS looks great...I graduated in 1959 along with a few hundred others and have lost track of most of them. If you know of anyone else from my class I would like to hear from them.
My wife is looking for Arlene Goldsmith Rothenthal, class of 1963, Marcia Rappaport Magid, class of 1962, and Luba Rybb, class of 1962....all of them lived in Arvern.

Dave and Jackie Schnitzer, Class of 1959, join us from Boynton Beach, FL and write the following.
Skip, we noticed a new section for PowWow listed...Why not suggest setting up a conference room for FRHS graduates to meet and talk.
Visiting the FRHS site brings back many memories of our days living in Rockaway...My wife, Jackie (Wachter) lived on Beach 63rd street in Arverne, and I lived on President Street in Far Rock..Nothing could beat the early spring and fall days when the "Summer People" were not there and the beach was ours to enjoy..especially the one day in June, when the FRHS seniors declared a holiday and everyone cut to go to the beach...It was a shame to see what NYC did to the area because of poor planning..Does anyone know what happended to Jack Kirschman, boys phys. ed. teacher and coach in the 50's and 60's?
These pages have become a daily site to visit on the web...one of the best constructed and maintained school pages...
Jackie can be reached at jax49OX@aol.com
Thanks so much for your comments about the web site. I have already passed your suggestion on to Carol Marston, our resident PowWow expert. As for Jack Kisrchman, rumor has it that he will be attending the up-coming reunion in September. Check out Reunions on the Menu.
Camille DiResta Schmidt, Class of 1959 joins us and writes the following.
Hi Skip,
I'm Camille DiResta Schmidt '59, former treasurer of the sr. class, captain of the majorettes, and all that sort of stuff. Just wanted to let you know how much I've enjoyed the FRHS website. Don't know that I can get to reunion, but I'm delighted to sign up for the directory. I've already heard from classmates and a long lost cousin. A million thanks.
Camille can be reached at Cami3566@aol.com
Thanks Camille for writing. I'm glad to hear that you have connected with friends from the past. That is one of the reasons the web site continues to grow. Your quite welcome!
Judi Sokatch-Wandres, Class of 1959 joins us from Matawan, New Jersey and writes the following.
Hi Skip,
Great web site ! My name is Judi Sokatch -Wandres. It used to be Judi Sokatch-Birnbach. I've been remarried for 16 years. I graduated in '59. I've really enjoyed this site. I don't think I will be at the reunion because I don't see too many of the '59ers as registrants. I went to Brooklyn College, taught at P.S.105 for a while and then moved to NJ. Did grad work in NJ and now I am living and teaching in Matawan, NJ.
I wonder if anyone knows anything about the following people: Sisty Nichols, Lou Stroller, Louis Lissak, Ernie Rosenberg (class of 57 or 58).
Judi can be reached at jwandres@monmouth.com
Thanks Judi for writing and I'm glad you enjoy the web site. I may not see a lot of my classmates at the reunion, but I wouldn't miss the opportunity to "gather" with those who share common backgrounds and memories. As we use to say in the 60's, this is going to be a "Happening". Hope you change your mind and attend!
Burton Goldstein, Class of 1959 joins us from Vancouver, British Columbia and writes the following.
I guess I am a lost grad - Far Rockaway High School 1959. After graduation- University of Buffalo (before SUNY), then Brooklyn College. Later University of Pennsylvania, and finally, University of Illinois. Lived & worked in Philadelphia & Chicago, moved to Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada in 1978.Still in Vancouver, with very fond memories of the "old" Far Rock.
My wife Nora (Feldman) FRHS '63, and my brother Ronald Goldstein, FRHS also, are probably registered.

My years at FRHS were the best years of my life. The memories are
without equal. I wouldn't trade any of those experiences, not a one. If
I could go back to those times I probably would have studied a little
more.
Well, on second thought, maybe I wouldn't. I really had a great time
and
hold many of my friends and fellow ball players in a special place in
my
heart. Wow...high school was the best.

many of you! My dad passed away in 1982. Then I had my mom living with me for 12
years after her stroke. When she passed away in 2002 I lost my best friend. Then
in 2005 my brother Melvin Schockner passed away. I have 2 children and 2
grandchildren. Also I have a significant other for the last 5- 1/2 years. Hope
everyone is doing well.

It's great to have a site to look back thru the years to our roots
in Rockaway and FRHS. The world was a different place then.
As the photo editor of the FRHS newspaper the "Chat" and a photographer
for the yearbook I took many photos of school activities. Since I
found the FRHS site it has sparked my interest in searching for those
photos
and sending them to you to post on the site. Keep up the great
work.

I have been working for AHRC for over 30 years, as director of a
Day Treatment program for adults with developmental disabilities. My
daughter,
Dori, was Far Rock class of '81.I loved the reunion weekend - it was as
much a Rockaway reuion as a high school reunion. The weekend was a
fabulous
event! Despite what some people have written on this site, there is
still
something very special about Far Rock to many of us old grads. This web
site has reunited many "lost " friends, and helped us to relive a big
part
of our youth. Even if the town has changed, we still remember the
"small town" feeling we had growing up here, and the quiet after the
"summer
indians" went home. I may be one of the few who still live and work in
Far Rockaway, but SOMEONE has to keep the place going. Hope to
hear
from old and current friends. P.S. My daughter, Dori '81,
and
I were one of the two-generation teams at the 100th anniversary
celebration.

This Web site brought back poignant memories. I moved from
the Bronx to FR in '52, lived in Wave Crest (20-21 Seagirt Blvd.),
attended
PS 106 for a year before transferring to JHS 198 as one of the first
students
in that brand-new school; then on to FRHS (class of '59). There
are
many names I recognize on this site but never did keep in touch after
high
school. I married in '60, promptly dropped my nickname, and moved
away, but never forgot my teen years in FR, spending most of my time
"hanging
out." I remember the day in my senior year, walking on Mott Ave.
with my girlfriends, when we first heard of the plane crash killing
Buddy
Holly, Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper. Everyone we met that day had
swollen eyes! It seemed that all teenagers in Far Rockaway were
in
mourning for days. Thank you so much, Skip and Carol, for the
opportunity
to reconnect with other neighbors and classmates.

Thanks for maintaining this website. I'm tracking down semi-lost
'59ers for a get-together with Eddie Spitz when he visits New York
briefly
in July 99 and need all the help I can get! I'll appreciate any and all
clues to find the following (some of whom are only "friends of" the
class:
Herb Barbolet, Bob Burros, Martin H. Goldman, Arthur H. Goldstein,
Barry
Josephson, Marjorie Kalm Manley, Bonnie Miller Kind, Elinor Miller
Levy,
Jordan Rosenberg, Phyllis Saffer, Albert Shapiro, Ben Sloane, Lenny
Sussman.
Remarried recently; very busy; no time to chat now; maybe during the winter.
Would love to catch up with y'all. Many thanks!
