No, that's not a photo of me!!! However, those of us who
were in high school in the 60's will certainly remember the voice (if not the face) of this colorful
radio personality. Click on the button below and journey back in time to the year 1963. Once
you
get there, you will be able to listen to ( assuming you have RealPlayer on your computer) 11
minutes of the Bruce Morrow "Cousin Brucie" show. Be sure to download real player first if
you
don't have it (the free version works just fine) and then listen to the "Cousin Brucie" Show from
1963. When you arrive at the Cousin Brucie page, just click on the "play" button.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! When you're finished, don't forget to hit
the "back" button on your browser to return to the "1960's" and view all of the great photos and
stories your classmates have posted on this page.
The following pictures were taken on my last visit to Rockaway. It's kind of sad to see what has become of this once thriving community. I'm only glad that I had the opportunity to grow up in such a unique environment. I will always have the memories.................
Believe it or not, a picture of my son, Westley, and me in Fascination. Yes, the torch has been passed to a new generation. We found a Fascination on the boardwalk in Santa Cruz, California. I even took a photo of my winning game which paid 1 ticket. Unfortunately, it wasn't the kind of ticket I could take up to Abe Rapps in the booth for a buck. I had to settle for "merchandise and prizes". And the memories live on..............
Stan Cohen on the left, Stan and me in the middle taken in January, 1996 on my last visit to New York, and me on the right. I was just in time for the blizzard of 96, a great reminder of why I moved to California. Also, my 1963 yearbook photo as it appeared in the Dolphin. Thanks to Gayle Gordon-Richter for sending it to me. I can't find my yearbook. It's in a box somewhere and when I locate it, I will post lots more pictures from the class of 1963.
On a totally unrelated note, I can finally get my "New York" fix out here in California. MSNBC the new cable channel is showing IMUS in the morning. Love him or hate him, he is certainly entertaining and gives me a lot of that New York "Schtik" I can't seem to find out here in California.
All of the early 60's graduates will remember these faces. For those of you who have forgotten, left to right, Mr. Tietze, Miss Craft and Mr. Seiden. Someone write with some good stories about these three. I know I will never forget them.....When did they retire?
Let's not forget Miss Ryan and Mr. Gordon

Iris
Shapiro Sherman, Class of 1960, joins us from Chevy Chase, Md. and
writes the following.
Dear Skip, Thanks for your message. You sound so knowledgable about the Web. I am just getting into it. I'm afraid "bookmarks" and other easy ways to get around are over my head at the moment--but hopefully I can get up to speed. One of these days, I plan to head out to the library and get a "how to" book. However, between career and family responsibilities, my time is really limited.
Far Rockaway has changed so since I lived there between 1957 and graduation in 1960. It seems all the families who lived there during that period of time are gone--presumably to Florida . Richard Cohen, who graduated in about my year, and who is a writer for the Washinton Post wrote a column a number of years ago about the death of Far Rockaway as he knew it. It rekindled a sadness I feel whenever I return.
I recall Far Rockaway as a safe and fun place to be as a high school student. I remember the diner in town where students hung out, the endless walking up and down the board walk during warm summer evenings, and the warm weather weekends spent lying on the beach. I also recall being able to walk home from the boardwalk by myself at night without fear of being mugged. Times have certainly changed. Living in Far Rockaway did have one significant drawback; i. e. the fact that we could not learn to drive until we were 18!
Time for me to stop "playing" with my computer and get some real work done. I look forward to reading more about FRHS on the net. My two cousins also attended the high school, Russell and Irwin Chernin. I will try to get them to register. Rusty who is approximately 42 now lives in Mass. and Irwin who is probably around 46 lives in Santiago Chile. My husband and I are heading down to Chile this winter for a reunion.
Iris can be reached at Irispss@aol.com
Thanks to Iris for writing and sharing your memories of the diner. We didn't call it "Cruzin" like they do out here in California, but we sure did it. Driving endlessly down Central Avenue, trying to find a party or a happening. Send a few photos if you can. As for bookmarks, AOL calls them Favorite Places or something like that. Once you find a web site you like, save it under Favorite Places and all you need to do is click on that selection to return to the web site again.
Elaine
(Mandell) Barel, Class of 1960, joins us from Israel and writes
the following.
Skip, My compliments on the great job you are doing on this page. I'm sending some photos from the 1960 issue of the Dolphin yearbook - if this doesn't wake up my classmates and bring some response from them then they are deader then Latin!!!! By the way, looking back over the yearbook entries, almost everyone mentioned the Senior Latin class with Miss Craft. For whatever reasons I do believe this was one of the most memorable classes we shared.
As for me I been living in Israel these past 30 years; married with two great kids and running my own successful business. I would love to come in for the reunion if enough of my classmates attend. I've been in contact with Richie Lifschutz who has remained one of my closest friends He promises me many other classmates so let's hear from you out there.
Elaine can be reached at orca@actcom.co.il
Thanks to Elaine for writing and sending along the great photos which have been posted on the Photo Gallery page.

Class of 1961 |
Eileen Barish, nee Mirsky, Class of 1961, joins us and writes the following.
Last night after surfing the net too late, I suffered netsomnia and spent half the night remembering names from my past. My name is Eileen (Mirsky) Barish and I graduated in 1961. I am looking for graduates from the class of 1957, 1958, 1959, 1960 and 1961. Most of them lived in the Wavecrest Apartments and most hung around the candy store next to Wavecrest on Beach 20th Street. Some were part of a singing group who practiced in someone's garage and cut a record which sounded just like the original "Where Are You Little Star." If any of you are on the net and reading this, e-mail me and let me know what's happened in your lives. Or if anyone knows them, let me hear from you too. Irv Lefer - Class of 1957, 1958 or 1959, Eddie Fisher - ditto, Bobby Russo - ditto, Ronny Blake - ditto, Jerry Feldman - ditto (Jerry intended to become a doctor. Did he? His mother was the crossing guard right under the el on Beach 25th Street), Susan Seltzer (she was probably in the class of 1960), Freddie Surge or Serge (unsure of the class), Larry (Lawrence) Siegel - class of 1961, Joan Daniels (class of 1960), Susan Dobson - class of 1961 - (her brother Bobby was friends with a bunch of the guys listed above).
Does anyone remember the lifeguard beach parties at Roach's Beach? If anyone remembers me that I haven't listed, get in touch. Let's refresh some memories. If anyone has a copy of the Dolphin for 1961, can you scan in photos of the 1961 graduates I've listed as well as yours truly? I live in Arizona half the year and Santa Barbara the other half (this half). My copy of the Dolphin is in storage and very unreachable so I'd love it if someone could help a former classmate. Thank you wherever you are.
You might be the right one to ask about getting photos from the 1961 Dolphin. Can you let me know if you have a copy or who does so I can contact them and see if they'll scan my picture and some friends as well so that 1961 will be proudly represented? My copy is in storage in Arizona, my home base. And right now I'm in Santa Barbara, my second home. My husband Harvey says he'll look next time he's in AZ but finding it won't be easy. See what you can turn up. Thanks for your help and your phenomenal web site.
If anyone is interested in contacting any of the following people, use my email address. Where are all the friends I
remember? Can it be that none of you are computer literate? C'mon on and log in.
Let's give the class of '61 it's due. I'm looking for the following:
Janet Carter, Lloyd Bergman, Fran Fields, Linda Berman, Dottie Feld, Caroll Ferber, Elaine
Jacobowitz, Barbara Schwartz, Cynthia Yablans.
If anyone knows the whereabouts of the above, let me know.
And thanks for the absolutely great web site. No
wonder it won the award - it deserved it. Hooray for Rockaway!
That's it for now. But I'm sure more will come to me in my recurring Far Rock
dreams. Thanks for making these "reach out and touch me" times available through your
terrific site.
Ta ta.
Eileen as well as the others, can be reached at HBarish@ix.netcom.com Thanks Eileen for writing. As for old yearbooks, try contacting Barbara Tashoff. She is
currently teaching at FRHS and may know how to find some of the old dolphins. Maybe the
library keeps copies of them. Good luck........How about a few Rockaway stories for the web
site? Hi Skip,
My name is Bob Schneider, and I'm a graduate of F.R.H.S. class of 1961. I just
wanted to take aminute to tell you what a GREAT GREAT job you've done with the
Rockaway reunion page. A friend recently told me about it and I have had
nothing but the greatest memories all brought back to me. The stories and
pictures you have accumulated took me back to my childhood years growing up in
Far Rockaway. I have some pictures that I will try to find from that period,
and send them to you. Is there a link set up yet with current addresses and
possibly e-mail addresses as well? Also in 1961 I had a classmate named
Robert Weinstock would he be a relation to you? If so please send him my
regards.
Again thanks for the web page, hope to here from you soon.
Bob can be reached at ROBMJB@aol.com Far Rockaway High School
Class of 1962 Thanks to Andy Hertz, Class of 1962 for this great photo of the FRHS Band
circa 1960. It looks as if Mr. Ruf and Mr. Starke took the show on the road to an
elementary school. Click on the photo to see it in its larger format. Can you identify any of
the band members? If so, please send me their names. Is that Billy Schwartz with the
glasses at the bottom of the photo? Yes it is! Billy himself has varified his identity......
Alan, great work on the FRHS Web Page. I think we went to P.S. 106 together
-- we used to hang around with Andy Hertz and Buzzy Rappaport, if I remember
correctly. I lived in Edgemere at the corner of 38th street and Rockaway
Beach Boulevard, just down the street from St. Gertrude's church.
When I was in high school we moved to Bayswater, and lived on Bayswater
Avenue just after it branched out from Mott Avenue, at Bay 24th street. This
meant it was just a short walk to FRHS.
After 106, I went to Cardozo JHS 198, where I spent only two years because
of the SP program. I think that's why I graduated FRHS in 1962 instead of
1963 with your class. Most of my memories of 198 were not very good ones.
One of my few friend from that period was Bill Jacoby, but I completely lost
touch with him; I think he went to Woodmere Academy.
FRHS was a little better. I was in the MLP and the teachers I remember were
Mr. Kraus (biology), Mr. Littenberg (math), Mrs. Wexler (English) and Mr.
Arneson (social studies.) I remember Tietze and Kirshman and some of the
other colorful ones like Traiger and Jagust. Craft seemed to be a million
years old at that time. I also remember a great Spanish teacher, Harry
Leventer. The friends I used to hang around with were Ed Epstein (now living
in Connecticut), Mark Sadowsky (Piura, Peru), Howard Sugarman (Rockaway
area, I think), and Herb Stein (Manhattan). I was also friendly with Carol
Levine, now Carol Weiss, who now lives in Sunnyvale/Cupertino. Aside from
taking college math (Richards), college chemistry (Goros), and physics
(Lipton), the only other things I remember were the chess team, not being
old enough to drive, and waiting to grow up.
From there I went to The Cooper Union, and graduated in 1966 with a
Bachelors in Chemical Engineering. That September I married Winifred Grace
Hoshino, also a Cooper Union graduate (fine arts); we've been very happily
married for the last 30 years or so. We have two sons, David (26, graduate
student in physics at Northwestern) and Marc (23, graduate student in
industrial and labor relations at Cornell).
About this time, Richard Feynman, who must have graduated FRHS about the
same time as my dad, became an influence, as he won the Nobel Prize in
physics while I was an undergraduate. He became folkloric later in his life
with the publication of his books, but he was a hero for some of us as early
as 1964. After spending two years at S.U.N.Y. at Stony Brook and getting a
Masters in physics in 1968, we went to Switzerland where I worked at
C.E.R.N. (the European particle accelerator lab in Geneva) and eventually
got a Ph.D. in physics from the University of Geneva in 1972. We came back
to the states in 1975 with the two boys, and I taught at U.C. Irvine for a
couple of years.
We have basically lived in California since 1975 with a couple of
interruptions along the way. I picked up an MBA at night from U.C. in 1978.
I got into software professionally in about 1977 and never looked back.
After working at Fluor Corporation for five years ('77-'82), I joined a
Silicon Valley start-up called McLeod Labs for about four, from '82 to '86.
In 1986 I joined Rational Software, and I've been there ever since. We are a
public company listed on the NASDAQ, and build software tools. I am
currently a vice president and general manager of a business unit at
Rational. Our headquarters is in Santa Clara, California.
Since the boys went off to college, we've lived for about a year and a half
in Stockholm, and a year in Portland, Oregon, both times on company
assignment. We're now back in the Bay Area, in Redwood City.
Hope you and yours are well. Feel free to post this on the "classes of the
sixties" part of the web page. Sorry I don't have a photo, but if you have a
1962 yearbook I'm sure to be in there. My wife and I are planning to come to
the reunion in September.
Joe can be reached at jnm@Rational.COM Thanks Joe for writing. Sorry it took so long to post your letter. I sure do remember
you! We used to hang out at your house after school. I remember the boy scouts (128 I think)
which use to meet in P.S. 106, and Joe Feldman...and JANE FELDMAN, my first
love.......Speaking of Buzzy, I had dinner with him in April while he was in San Francisco
on a business trip. I hadn't seen or talked to him in over 35 years. It was great!!!! Dear Skip,
I love what you have done for us! Makes me very glad that I learned how to surf the net.
I would like to find the following people: Barbara Fish, Peggy Krowitz, Ken Magida, Stu
Abraham, Andy Hertz, (all 1962 graduates) and Mona Magida (not sure of her year).
I would be happy to hear from anyone who would like to write to me.
I also would like to know if anyone else remembers Mr. Herz. a top notch Spanish teacher.
Where is he now? I will send you my bio in the next day or two as well as a Rockaway
rememberance. I have you to thank for my beginning to clean my basement--looking for
pictures!! Do you have any idea which grads from 62 will be at the reunion?
Thanks again for creating all that you have!
Ethel can be reached at ethel@starlinx.com Thanks Ethel for writing. If I could find just a few things that I lost in my basement
in Rockaway, I would be a rich man today. I look forward to hearing from you again
soon. Far Rockaway High School
Class of 1963 Gayle can be reached at gandm66@aol.com
Thanks to Gayle for her note. Hope to see those pictures real soon....
Gayle, thanks for writing and say hello to Mike for me. Where the
hell is Barry Uslianer???? Thanks to Gayle for the following photos from the Class of 1963's
25th year reunion held on October 29, 1988. Left to right: Susan Ackerman, Carol Bloom, Ivan Mosesman, Maxine
Ross, Gayle Gordon, Janice Magid, Fran Schriro, Sheli Pack, Lenny Heisler
, Erasto Ortiz, Judy (Rock) Kiselstein, Lance Rosenbluth, Pam Bergen, Jackie
Comer. Thanks to Ellen (Parnes) Daniels Class of 1963 for sending the missing
names. She will be sending along additional photos of the 1963 reunion.
Look for them soon. Thanks to Mari (Davis) Schreiber, Class of 1963 for sending this
photo of the Class of 1963's reunion. Left to right - Nathan Levy, Benjy
Jacobson, Ivan Mosesman in the middle with the white shirt....who are the
rest???? Thanks to Sheli Pack Schwartz who writes: The third from left
is Tommy Shiels, behind the guy in the red shirt is Neil Galoweski, and
the one on the far right is Gerry Rachlin. Thanks Sheli! Look for your
graduation photo in my next up-date. Is that Marni Plant on the left? I think it is! Alan, I recently got Web T.V. and have been checking out your web
site. I think it's fascinating. I've been in touch with Gayle Gordon &
Barbara Tashoff. Every time my brothers are over we check out the web site
for your updates. Loved the picture of your house on 27th street. We like
WebTV--it's pretty fast & it's family entertainment. There have been
some kinks that have since been ironed out. I've been sifting through some
old pictures and will be sending you some shortly. As for recent family
pictures, I'll check. I'm usually the one who takes the pictures. I'm attaching the family business web site. It's located at http://www.wizard-hoops.com/
We've been in the news recently. I don't know whether you're into sports
or not, but I think you might find it interesting. I've been living in Maryland since 1973 and don't get back to New
York too often. I have two boys, ages 25 and 27. My husband and I both
work for the Social Security Administration. My husband is a part-time
disk jockey and record collector (oldies, specializing in doo-wops). He
is the host of two shows in Baltimore, both specializing in doo-wops. You
can check out his web site at; http://user.aol.com/alsaces10s/echoes/
Someone wrote about Tuckee Cup--I can't remember the last time I
heard anyone mention that besides my brother. How about Jerry's knishes?
Alan, you're doing a great job and I enjoy the Rockaway web site very much.
I hope you continue to add to it. I last took a tour of Far Rockaway around 1988. Everything looked
small. It also seemed that everything was a lot closer to my house than
I remembered. It's sad to see the sad state Far Rockaway is in. I have
some pictures showing a little bit of 27th street, and some pictures during
May Day at P.S. 106 (only showing the playground). As soon as my brother
gets his computer problems straightened out I'll have him E-mail them to
you if you want. Mari can be reached at Mari@webtv.net
Thanks to Mari for writing. I'm sorry it took so long to get your
letter on the web site. I've had all kinds of trouble with my e-mail program.
I can't believe we're talking after so many years. Thanks also for letting
me use your graduation photo. There are still a few of us brave ones around!
Tell Alan I said hello and I hope to see those pictures real soon.... Check out the new Mari's Memories
Page. Barbara can be reached at Zaydas@aol.com Thanks to Barbara for her contribution. Barbara, send me a good photo
of the school!! Gus can be reached at aelia@mdc.com
Stan is living in Commack, L.I. When I speak to him, I'll let him
know you are trying to reach him. Thanks to Gus for his contribution. Gus, I can't find my yearbook from 1963. If you still have yours,
please make a copy of my graduation picture and send it to me. I want to
put it on this web site. Thanks Skip, I think the Web Site you created is great. I have really enjoyed
seeing some of the old pictures and what you look like now. We are all
getting old. I cannot believe that you are a grandfather. I must tell Gary
Schnitzer when I speak to him. I think that we have all forgotten our friends that were lost in
Vietnam. Resently I went to the wall and pulled up the names of a few of
the friends that we lost. I remember that you were friends with a few of
them too. AOL has a web site that will also give us the names of these
guys; we also lost a few others like Harry Yucht for reasons other than
the war. If you want I can E-Mail you the list from AOL. Is it possible to somehow put this on the web site? It may not be
a pleasant task, but as we get older, things happen that we would not like
to remember, eg: Vietnam. Thanks. Jerry can be reached at JSHAP49@aol.com
Thanks, Jerry, for reminding us that many of our classmates paid
the ultimate price by doing what they felt was the right thing. Send me
the names that you have and I will be proud to put them in a place of honor
on this web site. Hi "Skip", I remember you from high school. As a matter
of fact you signed my yearbook "Lots of luck in the future. Love Alan."
My name is Ellen (Parnes) Daniels. Do you remember me? I can identify the
??? people in the '63 reunion picture. The guy next to Fran is Lenny Heisler
and the girls on either side of Lance Rosenbluth are Judy (Rock) Kiselstein
and Pam Bergen ( I don't know her married name). I still remain very friendly
with Judy Rock Kiselstein who lives in CT. and Sheila (Fleigelman) Zweifler
who lives in Poughkeepsie, NY. As a matter of fact we have been friends
since the 6th grade at P.S. 215. Another friend I have kept in touch with although I don't see her
often because I live in Stamford, CT and she lives in Maryland is Mari
(Davis) Schreiber who told me about this page. I am so glad she did. I
think you are doing a great job. I will send you pictures I have from the
reunion. I loved growing up in Rockaway. It was the best place to be. My
parents lived there many years after I was married and my husband's (Steve
Daniels, class of '59) aunt still lives in Wavecrest, believe it or not.
It is so sad to see what has become of the town. It is basically a slum
now. I have gone on too long. I'd love to hear form you. Take care and
keep up the good work, Ellen Ellen can be reached at LadyOh18@aol.com
Thanks Ellen for writing and filling in the missing pieces of the
reunion puzzle. I knew someone out there would know. I remember you too.............. Send those photos along so that we can include them on the Web Site.
If you have access to a scanner you can send them via e-mail. If not, just
mail them and I will return them to you. Dear Alan, Feel free to use my picture. I'll send recent photos of my family
as soon as my son scans them into the computer for me. Natalie can be reached at qspbob@aol.com
Thanks to Natalie for writing. I look forward to receiving your photos.
Thanks for joining the ranks of the brave by allowing me to use your graduation
picture. I'm not feeling so alone now. I graduated from Far Rockaway HS in 1963. I lived in Belle Harbor
and have lost track of some very close friends. Would love to know the
location of Robert Gilgoff, Joseph Hocheiser, Steve Barasch or Howard Epstein.
Would enjoy chatting with other Belle Harbor folks from that time. Ray can be reached at Sling48@aol.com
Thanks to Ray for writing. How about writing to let me know where
you are living now and I will add it to the web site. I've added your graduation photo to the web
site from the 1963 yearbook! Yes, that's right Philip Kalfin Class of '63
lives in Orlando, Fl. Just got the info. on the Web Site yesterday from
my cousin Barbara Kalfin Minorovich class of '64 who lives in Boca Raton,
Fl. I sent e-mail to Saul Raw in NYC about the site and I'm sure you'll
hear from him soon. I attended the Class of '63 25th reunion in
NY in '88 and the one in Deerfield Beach in '96. They were both fantastic
events. Skip, another '63 graduate lives near you in Oakland. He is Phil
Weingrow and his business is Montclair Better Homes. Check it out. Both Saul and I will be at the upcoming reunion
in Sept. I'll try to send my yearbook pix soon. Mickey also says Hi! Philip can be reached at kalfinpmagicman@worldnet.att.net Thanks Philip for writing. I look forward to getting some photos
from you. I have the 1963 yearbook and can, with your permission, add you
photo to the web site. Please write and let me know. Dear Skip, Thanks for your note. I love the web site. Some friends of mine
are interested in emailing Buzzy, but I understand your reluctancy to send
his info. I am partners in a wholesale mask business and an art gallery in
Long Beach. I have two sons who live on their own. I live with Cary Press
for the past 15 years, a former frhs grad. He sells and designs boxes.
We live on the ocean and have a million dollar view of the beach. When
i get a scanner I will send a picture. We see many people from frhs. Shelly Schwartz told me about your
sight. I will write again. If you need any info please let me know. Geri can be reached at gerimk@idt.net Thanks Aren for writing. I do remember the many floods and all my baseball cards
floating around in the basement. If I had only kept the Mickey Mantle and Roger Marris cards in
a safe place, I might be a wealthy man today..........
Aren can be reached at ACA215@msn.com Dear Skip, The FRHS webpage is absolutely incredible! My warm thanks to Barbara Tashoff Saber
for the clue (otherwise I might be clueless!). The nostalgia for the Rockaways, the schools, the
boardwalk, and most important, the people was wonderful. I think you have done a fab job on
the webpage, and we all owe you our appreciation for linking us together again.
I graduated in '63 with you (I remember you, especially from your graduation photo), and
went on to undergraduate and graduate school at RPI in Troy, NY. I came to Cleveland to teach
at Case Western Reserve U in 72 and although I loved teaching, I grew less interested in
biomedical research (long, lonely nights in the lab) and went on to computer systems analysis
and
management in education and now juvenile justice.
I remember with great enthusiasm many of our friends in our class. I saw quite a few at
the '88 reunion, which was a super event. I still remember the dazed feeling throughout that
evening, as we recognized (from faces, slowly recognized, or name tags) one another to ebulient
screams (I think that word came from one of our English teacher's assignments -- we had to
present one word apiece, and 'sell' it to our classmates -- now who was that teacher??
Silberstein?? I just don't recall! Maybe someone can help!).
I would love to know the whereabouts of many of our classmates. I have not seen, since
high school (or in a very few cases, from college -- I tried to keep in touch with a few) friends
such as Robert Klein, Eric Kronstadt, Jeff Rausch, Ray Neinstein, Ken Taksen, Lewis Saldinger.
I was ecstatic to find Judy Rock, Sheila Fleigelman, Vivian Kessler, Pam Bergen, Natalie
Spiegel,
Lance Rosenbluth, Heather Barg, Holly Dick, Ellen Parnes, Doris Klein, Si Budman, Phil Kalfin,
Helene Blum, Saul Raw, Gerry Rachlin and others on the FRHS reunion page or yours.
Incidentally, was it Lenny Heisler or Lanny Heisler? I fondly remember building a radio with
him
in 6th grade at PS 215! I fondly remember Harry Yucht -- do you know what happened? I was
sad to hear of his passing.
I spoke to Richie Silverstein a few years ago. I was driving to work and heard on
National Public Radio that it was teacher appreciation day, and since it was 30 years since I
graduated (this was in '93), I called FRHS and got his phone number on LI. I remember him as
the best teacher I ever had, and especially remember his experiment with his senior "L" class in
Problems in American Democracy in which he allowed us to take over the class for the entire
year, and teach ourselves. How far ahead of his time in concepts of teaching and
self-governance.
I share the interest in working on behalf of the current FRHS population. Although I
believe that help is only appreciated when accepted, I hope the coolness I read about on the part
of the 'current administration' is not shared by the students, who could likely value the
contributions of those of us who might wish to support their current and/or future progress.
Computer literacy and/or scholarship resourcefulness are certainly areas that I would feel
competent and confident to support, and I am willing to take some steps to instigate efforts in
this
area.
Please go ahead and use pictures you may have gathered (yes, sadly, including my
graduation photo!), and I will look through my 'stuff' to see if I have anything that goes that far
back (34 years is a long time!). My suspicion is that my brother in Florida (an amateur
photographer) probably has the most FR memorabilia, although much of it may be on 35 mm
slides! (remember them?)
Lots of appreciation for all of your continuing efforts.
David. Thanks David for your wonderful letter. I remembered your name from FRHS but it
wasn't until I looked at your photo that I really knew who you were. I do believe it was "Lenny"
not Lanny. As for Harry, I never really heard what happened. Maybe someone out there can fill
us in. Thanks again for your kind words about the site and I look forward to hooking up with
you on Pow Wow when you have time. David can be reached at swedlow@stratos.net Dear Skip,
Superb job on the FRHS web site! I'd like to send you some pics as soon
as I figure out that scanning stuff. In the meantime I'd like to know where
these 63 grads are: Karen Kaufman, Joni Tanenbaum, Ronnie Lerman,
Phyllis Alliger, June Avner, Judi Belferder, Billy Calder , Paul Burros, Lynn
David, Judy Gold, Susan Klein, Roger Koerner and Chris Pannell? I'll stop the list
there for now.
Go ahead and post that strange picture of me from 63.
A little more about me- I graduated from Queens Coll. in 67 with a BA in Early Childhood ED.
Taught 5 years at PS45 in Jamaica, NY (KGN.&1st grade).
Married Joel Rosenhoch in 67. He was grad of Stuyvesant HS 61 and CCNY 65.
We moved to Florida in 72-Largo- in the Tampa Bay area - west coast. We took
up tennis at the advanced age of 28 and went on to win some club trophies
over the years.
I teach kindergarten in Clearwater,FL. We have one son a
terrific 17 year old! He'll be a SR at Seminole H.S. Oh - his name is Mark.
He plays on the HS tennis team. Joel is a financial consultant - we recently celebrated our 30th
anniv. I also took up cake decorating a while back. I can do Mickey Mouse and
Donald Duck cakes among others - but I have been known to put a risque
spin on some of my creations!
About Far Rock - did I tell you that my father had a grocery store on Mott Ave -
Nat's Dairy - it was next to Sid and Sam's candy store in the middle of the
block. My 4 sisters and other relatives still live up in NY. We don't get there too
often.
Looking forward to the reunion weekend. Too bad FR has changed so much!
It was a GREAT place to grow up back then. Thanks again for your hard work on this site!
P.S. I went to PS39 for KGN and HILI for grades 1-8.
P.P.S.By the way, 3 of my sisters also graduated from FRHS! Is that a
record -4 siblings? The years were: 55-63-66-71.
Thanks!
P.P.P.S. So far I've EMAILed and heard from: Barbara Tashoff, Saul Raw, Phil
Kalfin, Doris Klein and Phil Weingrow! I'm a novice at EMAIL but I'm getting
there! Bye, again.
Heather can be reached at Mamawalde2@aol.com Thanks Heather for writing. I'll look for your graduation photo from the 1963
yearbook. Dear Skip
I just went and dug out my old yearbook to see if you had signed it
- or even if I knew you. Alas, found your picture, but nothing signed,
so I guess I must have travelled in different circles.
I just want to let you know what a great job you have done with
this web page. The parent of a good friend of mine (Steve Goldsmith -
1963) sent me the brochure for the Far Rockaway High School 100th
anniversary reunion. Up until today I had no idea that there were ANY
reunions at all from Far Rockaway High School. What an eye opener. It's
too bad we didn't have the web ten years ago.
I, too, am a graduate of Far Rockaway High School, Class of 1963.
Unfortunately, I was one of those guys who thought I would be "cool" and
not pay my $2.00 to get my picture in the yearbook. I sure wish I hadn't
made that decision so long ago. And so my picture is not in the
yearbook, and yet they put my friend Barry Stein's blank space in the
yearbook (he also didn't pay his $2.00) and not mine.
There are two people from the era of 1963-1965 that I would like to
try and locate. Neither of them are pictured in my yearbook of 1963, and
so they must have graduated a year later - or a year earlier. One is
Bruce Weiss (who set fire to his apartment building and nearly burnt it
down) and Kenny Stern (who worked with me as a garbage picker on the
beaches for the N.Y.C. Dept of Parks).
I'm going to try and see if I can find a way to make it to this
reunion party in September. I wish I had known about the one held in
1988. At present I am living (have lived for the past 25 years) in
British Columbia, Canada. Barry Stein is living in Toronto, and another
graduate from 1963, Jeff Brooks, is living in Vancouver. I'm still in
touch with about seven or eight friends that I have had all my life, and
who are Far Rockaway High School graduates.
In closing, I wonder if anyone out there remembers having a Mr.
Selbst as a math teacher, about 1968 to 1972 (somewhere around there?) Thanks again.
Phil can be reached at ppaul@cln.etc.bc.ca Thanks Phil for writing. I guess it wouldn't do me any good to try to find your photo in
the 1963 yearbook! How about a current photo for the web site? I certainly do remember you! My name is Alan Pinkler and that's how you
signed my year book. Kudos to you for all the time and effort that you've put
into creating the Rockaway Beach web site. I sent in my response to the
reunion mid July ( going of course) and have been surfing the Rockaway web
sites for the last couple of weeks seeing pictures of old familiar friends
and places.
I grew up at 1170 Nameoke St which was an apartment house right off of
Central Ave and a block away from the Sharah Tefela Synagogue (i used to go
rollerskating there a lot because they had the smoothest sidewalks around)
and a few blocks from the Redfern Projects. I went to PS 39 and then PS 198 -
Cardozo JHS. I was in the band and orchestra in JHS and HS and remember the
great musical productions that were presented - like "The Sound of Music" and
marching at football games at the high school. I remember Mr Ruf as being a
great music teacher.
I remember walking to high school and back home which had to be at least a
mile or a mile and a half each way. I used to carry my trumpet in one hand
and my books in the other for balance (did they have back packs in those
days?). To make it more interesting, I'd like to vary my route from day to
day. One day I'd walk up Central Ave through the center of town past all the
stores and make a right onto Cornaga Ave to go to school; other days I'd go
past the library and make a right onto Mott Ave and go past the bus terminal,
the NYC subway station (2 fare zone), the Long Island RR
station, and the State Diner and walk by the "L" to go to school. When I went
home, I'd sometimes stop off at Gino's for a slice (15 cents) or just to hang
out.
I had hay fever allergies as a teen and remember spending many Saturdays in
the summer at the Strand, Columbia and Gem movie theatres to get some air
conditioning relief. Those were the days - double feature for 99 cents - and
if you wanted to you could stay again.
Many people have already shared there memories of Far Rockaway, the HS, the
boardwalk, "Tuckee" cups (haven't heard that name in 35 years) etc so I don't
have a lot add to that. Suffice it to say that the 60's were a great time for
growing up and the Rockaway's was a great place to do it in. I had ocassion
to go back to Far Rockaway in 1990 or 1991 with my family and was rather
saddened by the condition of Far Rockaway and especially Central Ave - it
appeared that many of the stores were boarded up. I'm glad to see from a more
recent picture a vast improvement.
Skip, I see that you've been in touch with Stan Cohen. If you have an E-mail
address or home address, please let me know as I'd like to contact him.
For a quick bio I went to Queens College and graduated in Feb. 1968; started
Baruch College and got drafted/enlisted and spent a tour in Viet Nam from Oct
1968 to Christmas Eve 1969; returned and graduated Baruch College in 1974
with a master in accounting, became a CPA, did the corporate business world
for 17 years and went through a number of down sizings, and now am presently
self employed as a financial planner/consultant to business and individuals
for protection and investment needs. I've been married for 24 years and have
two teenage boys - almost near 18 and 16 years old. I got started late in
life but can't believe all the people I've read about becoming grandparents
already. How fast time goes by.
Any how, that's all for now. My younger son wants the phone to make plans
with his friends and has given me the 5 minute warning. I zeroxed my photo
from the year book, scanned it on a Brother fax/scanner/printer and am
sending it with this e-mail. Don't know how it will come out at your end,
but if you can add my photo from your yearbook, it may come out better.
Alan can be reached at Apinkler@aol.com Thanks Alan for writing. It's been a long time since our days in the FRHS band. I
played baratone horn and sat directly in front of the tuba player. I think that's why I love the
base
line in music so much! Glad to hear that you're planning to attend the 100th. I look forward to
seeing you again after all the years. Stan Cohen can be reached at
Islandiz@aol.com Dear Skip,
I really appreciate the job you have done with the site. I graduated
from FRHS in 1963 and went to the 25 year reunion which was truly a
stellar event. It was like going back to HS without all of the social
anxiety although it was full of old people (them, not me). I also went
to the South Florida reunion in 1995. As a result of the 1988 reunion, I
was able to hook up with a few old friends and have kept up with them
since.
I live in the Park Slope section of Brooklyn and work as a
psychotherapist in private practice in Brooklyn and Manhattan. For more
than 20 years, I have also been on the teaching faculty of Cornell
University Medical College.
I must say that I really find the current
state of Far Rockaway to be quite depressing since I lived there between
the ages of 6 and 20 and found it to be a lovely town at that time. I
lived on Rose Street and much earlier on on Beach 9th Street. I really
almost never go back and when I do go back, I realize why I keep staying
away. I really do hope to see my old friends at the reuinion and urge
everyone to sign up with Renunion Hall on the Web. Please feel free to
use my year book picture.
All the best,
Saul
Saul can be reached at sauldraw@pipeline.com Thanks Saul for writing and for your kind words about the web site. I didn't have
a chance to attend the 1988 reunion and am really looking forward to September for the
opportunity to see all my old friends and meet the new ones I have met as a result of doing this
web site. See you in September!
Joe davis here: graduated 1963 (joe@eab.board.tec.wi.us) I've been
perusing this site for some time; waiting for some names to pop up and
generally enjoying the journey back in time. [I am the banjo player in
the middle of the '63 yearbook].
It's been fun to see some old names re-emerge from the mists and to have
Rockaway recreated in a bunch of memories. My memories of high school
center around the "L;" playing "ratchet-fuck" with Marshall Rosenbloom in
11th year math; thoughts of girls uncalled; wishing to be a lot more cool
a lot less self-conscious (yes, David Swedlow: taking over our history
class with Mr. Silverstein was a true high point of high school which, as
I recall, almost got him canned).
A brief self-history: after Brooklyn College with Saul Raw, Judy Gold and
others) went out to Madison, Wisconsin to get a Ph.D. in history - and,
yes I was in the streets out here duirng the haydays of the "movement" (if
you've seen "The War at Home" you've seen my 1st 4 years in grad school)
inhaling tear gas and running from the national guard; 1st saw our
famous "boy mayor" Paul Soglin at a demonstration after the Dow Chemical
riot and have known him since then.
Anyway, the history profession had died by the time I got done; married
in 1970 and my wife Connie was a social worker; so we stayed in Madison
and I started working in state government in '75 - doing employment and
training planning; now I run a teeny state agency which licenses private
post-secondary schools and runs the GI Bill. Do a lot politically: been
involved closely with Russ Feingold since before he started thinking
about running for the U.S. Senate and am now deep into work for the '98
re-election campaign [I coordinate policy development, opposition
research, etc.). Connie and I have a near 14 year old daughter,
Elizabeth; she is mid-westerner but longs to be a new yorker .
It would be great to see lots of the bunch from high school; don't know
if we can (or even I ) can make it to the reunion, but this site (and the
Far Rockaway High School site) do seem to have reconnected lots of folks.
I have done a bit of e-mailing to maybe reknit some ties and will
continue to do that - the idea and operation of the site are wonderful! I
wish there were a real Rockaway to see again; my neighborhood, Arverne
and Beach 71st street, is literally gone; plowed under and awaiting the
next fanciful plan for the Rockaways which will never come.
Joe can be reached at joe@eab.board.tec.wi.us Thanks Joe for sharing your memories of Rockaway. I too was not sure I could make it
to the "big bash" in September. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized that this is
probably my last opportunity to reconnect with so many former classmates at the same time, and
get back to the beach for at least one day. Hope you can make it.
Hi Skip!
I graduated from Cornell in '67 and took a masters at the Bank Street College of
Education. I married a Cornell classmate, Steve, in 67--we've been married for 30 years! He is an
obstetrician-gynecologist. We have 3 children, Jon, UCLA '94, Jenny, Cornell '95, and Robin,
UCLA '97. I now own my own home-based business, Nameable Notes, and sell personalized
stationery and invitations. Sondra Heller? Of course you can post my picture and other
information on the Web site. I plan to attend the reunion with Mona Magida Odin. I'll write
more when I have time.
Karen can be reached at KKPolansky@aol.com Thanks again Karen for writing. I hope to hear from you again soon. I guess you live
just "up the road" from me. I live in Concord and plan to be in Sacramento on August 12 - 14
for
a conference. Write again when you have time.
Dear Skip!
My name is Roger Koerner '63. I just wanted to drop you a note and
compliment you on your work. I'm amazed at your web site. You've being
able to use high tech communication to deliver back the warmth and vitality
of a community. It still exists in our memories and now it flows through the
screen. From all the messages left in the guest book it's clear that many
friends have already found each other and many more will renew their
friendships at the reunion.
I finished my schooling and training in
Philadelphia and opened a practice in Gastroenetology in Palm Beach Gardens,
Fl. Its now a five man practice. I'm the senior man which is good news and
bad. People start asking your when you are going to retire. I still feel I
can get up early in the a.m., carry fifty pounds of books in freezing weather
and chase the green bus from the 143 to 141 on Rockaway Beach Blvd with thre
best of them. Piece of cake.
About four or five years ago I saw a patient
in my Jupiter office who was heading back to NYC for the summer. She was
going to check in with her cardiologist, Paul Tunick. I remember Paul (63)
married Susan Mauss (63). He was also the Chat photographer. He sent me a
number of negatives that he had kept. I've enclosed some of those photos
(under separate cover) that you might want to include in your web site. I've
been in touch with Bert Cohen, who is a divorce lawyer in Beverly Hills,
Michael Aronowsky lives in Massapequa NY and is a criminal defense attorney,
Alan Steinberg , a writer, living in Chicago, Steven Grossman, resides in
Ohio, and has been with the state government. Marty Goldman, Boston, is an
investment broker with Prudential. Bob Diilon, became a Urologist, and
lives in the NY area. I have run into or heard from many more. Hope to see
them all there.
Thanks again . Does the green bus still stop every two
blocks in belle harbor and Neponist? Thats hard to believe.
Roger can be reached at BRA4N@aol.com Thanks Roger for writing. I will be posting your yearbook photo in a few days. I look
forward to receiving you photos and posting them on the web site. I too look forward to seeing
many former classmates and friends at the reunion. Hope to see you there.
greetings to all, but especially classmates from '63 i am planning to come to the reunion
with my brother, jerry, class of '60 and my sister and brother-in-law, roberta and mel klein, both
'58. after graduation from skidmore with degree in english lit, via circuitous route ended up at
price waterhouse where i met my husband...further career changes led to consulting to financial
institutions as a liaison between users and providers of large scale systems. also became a
mother of two beautiful daughters. nearly a year ago, my husband and older daughter were
killed in an auto crash. now i am the single mother of a 14 y.o....a challenge that i hope i am up
to, with support of large loving family and network of friends. for a number of years i have been
a professional volunteer, mostly doing financial work and fundraising for different organizations
in which i believe. have just added frhs to the list by volunteering to be part of the committee
now in formation....so you may want to duck when you see me coming. can't wait to reunion,
especially the 'prom" since i didn't go to the one in 1963!
Susan can be reached at sb1118@aol.com Thanks so much for writing. I'll try to post your yearbook photo in a few days. Hope
to see you at the reunion.
Far Rockaway High School
Class of 1964 Dear Skip, I was yahoo'ing and found your web
site. It is fantastic. You have done a masterful job. Thank you for rekindling
very fond memories. I consider myself an "honorary" graduate
of FRHS, class of 1964. I actually graduated HILI 64 (on seagirt Blvd).
However, most of my closest friends were from FRHS. In fact, my oldest
and dearest friend is Bill Calder, FRHS 63. Does anyone remember Bill and
his twin sister Elaine? My closest friends were Sol Miskin, Billy Shapiro,
Laraine Fenster, Bonnie Greene, Susan Schwarzschild, Bill C. and my former
wife, Marsha Fell. In fact, Marsha was the editor of the Dolphin and when
someone didn't turn in their graduation photo, I came to the rescue with
mine. It had to be placed in the open spot, so a name was invented for
me. You can see me in The 1964 Dolphin over the name, Leonardo Shabselic.
I would like to attend the 100th wearing that name on my lapel and see
if anyone "remembers" old Leonardo? HA! I do vividly recall summers in Belle Harbor,
(where I currently reside again after a decade or so away from "the
Beach") hanging out on the boardwalk and B122nd Street. The Penny
Arcade and soda fountain on B.116th street. The 3 movies in Far Rock and
one in Rockaway to choose from. Riding the Green Bus over bumpy roads back
and forth for years between Far Rock and Belle Harbor. Rushing to make
the last bus (12:40AM) back home after a date in Far Rokaway (Usually a
movie at the Pix, Strand or ??? and a hamburger and fries at a great place
in town (can't remeber the name)! Football games in autumn and the great
fun and camraderie. Watching Steve Issacs play for the Dolphins. Jack Kershman
on the sidelines. The band being led by Mr. Ruff. I would love to share memories with anyone
out there whose memories I might have sparked. I am looking forward to
September and am glad Rockaway and B.116th can "host' some of the
festivities. Again,Skip, your Web site is superb. It has
become a favorite place of mine. Thanks again. Bruce can be reached at bbernfeld@aol.com Thanks Bruce for writing and for your comments about the web site.
I can't believe you remembered what time the last bus left town for Belle
Harbor. I use to work across the street from the bus stop at the Tower
of Pizza. We would get lots of hungry people who would run across the street
for a slice before the bus came. How about a few photos? Very sorry to see that the class of 1964 is not responding to the call.
It was a good class and more should be done to get these 50 year old graduates awakened!
Some of these classmates were:
Sam Storch, Gary Bart, Stephen Leibowitz, George Goodman, Sheryll Bernstein, Steve Charno,
Paula Hashmall, Paula Janofsky, Steve Rosenberg, Carol Schack, Vivian Lazeroff, Steve
Pendroff.
Maybe a lost and found section of the web site should be formed! Again thanks for this
wonderful site.
Steve can be reached at carprof642@aol.com Thanks Steve for writing. I do have a "Lost Classmates" section on the web site. You
might check in to see if you can find any of your friends. Hi Skip
I graduated FRHS in 1964. I would love to hear from anyone from that
year especially kids from Belle Harbor. I am Judy Macken (nee Cooper).
My siblings are Michael, (twin) Rebecka (1962) and Gale (1959). Please if
anyone is on this internet program and remembers me, let's write.
Thanks and best to everyone.
Judy can be reached at ALTAKAKAMOMMA@webtv.net Dear Skip,
I would llike to thank you for the great job you and your co-horts have done
with this page. I was told of the web site and thought I would stop by for a
couple of minutes. That was two hours ago.
I've already e-mailed a couple of classmates from 1964. I took out my
yearbook to refresh myself, and the memories came rushing back. I and my twin
sister Judy are on page 63.
I'm living in Stamford, CT. with my wife and two teenage children. I grew up
on 134th Street, and still own the house I grew up in. We are in the
Rockaways a lot, during the summer to go to the beach. Whenever we go thru Far
Rockaway, I point the school out to the kids, and the places I used to play
hooky at. I remember Central Ave with the movies, the deli, the Tower of
Pizza. My has it changed.
Looking forward to renewing old acquaintances at the reunion. Other members
of the class of 64 living in Stamford are Hedy Cooperman and Judy Zolondick.
Again, thanks for your efforts.
Michael can be reached at Mc21047@aol.com Thanks Michael for writing. I'm glad to hear that you got "hooked" on the web site.
This site is a collaboration of all the wonderful grads who have contributed the great images and
stories. I hope it continues well beyond the reunion. Hope to see you there. If you can photo
copy your grad photo and mail it to me, I would be happy to post it. My mailing address is on
the
home page. Better yet, if you can scan it into your computer, e-mail it to me as an attachment.

of '63 (I think memories are getting hazy the older we get). I think you're
doing a terrific job with the Home Page. I wish I had information to share
with you but I left NY in '66 and didn't archive much information. I did
enjoy the picture of you and Stan Cohen in the snow. Stan is an "old
friend" from at least 2nd grade that I remember and probably back
to kindergarten. My memory banks don't go back that far. I assume these
Cohen's are one and the same. I looked up Stan Cohen on SWITCHBOARD on
the Internet and got one on Egmont Place with a phone number. I looked
on ROADMAP and saw where that was. I'm going to call that number sometime
this weekend if I get a chance and see if I get an old friend or a stranger.
Meanwhile keep it up with the Home Page---It looks great ! I'm looking
for a way to get involved with the Reunion, but being far away makes it
tough. Keep up the good work Alan, and Take Care."
