Are You Looking For A Lost Classmate?

I am getting lots of requests for assistance in locating "lost classmates."   Rather than creating a separate page for each one, I will be happy to assist by listing them here.  The most recent listings will appear first as the "older requests" move down the list.  I hope that this will help you find who you are looking for.  Please e-mail your requests to me, Skip Weinstock, Class of 1963 at rockaway@astound.net

Should you decide at a later date to remove any information you are sending, please email me at rockaway@astound.net and I will be happy to remove it for you usually within one day.  However, information on the Internet is always being copied by search engines such as Google and Yahoo.   I have no control over these search engines and it usually takes a lot longer to get information removed from them.  So, always be cautious about what you post!

If you spot a name and can assist, please email the person looking and let them know.  This is the only way people are finding each other...... with your help!

Your Name Must Accompany Your Request
Or I Will Not Be Able To Post It!!!!!

Skip,

I used to live in Wavecrest Gardens as a young teen. I'm not sure if you are still accepting queries on your Rockaway web-site, but I'm trying to locate and thank a wonderful, inspirational Cardozo JHS teacher I had in the early 1950's, named Mr. Steinberg (don't remember his first name)...or was it, possibly, Mr. Bernstein. He was a bald-headed, good looking man and was my English & Music Appreciation (do they still have that great class, since Music Appreciation, like many arts classes has mostly been dropped from most schools) teacher, as well as being Director of the school plays, in which I had featured roles.

He encouraged me to audition for the Manhattan-based High School of Performing Arts and, surprisingly (since only 30 applications in each of the 3 classes of drama, dance and music, are accepted yearly from the over 10,000 students applying), I was chosen to attend. I did so, which paved the way for me to be in a very unique, hard-working school and go on to become a professional musical theatre featured performer for 6 years, when I "retired from show biz" to go into the business world of advertising and public relations and, hence, opening the first executive search firm in the corporate communications field, Marshall Consultants.

Is Cardozo still around, since I can't find their contact info and/or can any of your website followers give me some direction in locating the school and/or him?

Carpe Diem!

Hi! I lived in the US back in 1990 and now for several years I have been trying to find my big love Mr. Donald Ray Davis, born on Jan. 7, 1958(?). He was raised in Far Rockaway, and back in -90 he lived on Rockaway Beach. Donald worked downtown NY as a math/(physics?) teacher in a school for only boys. He used to work out a lot at the gym back then. Donald also had a son named Donald Jr. I would just like to know how he is nowadays, hopefully to find out that he´s doing good and that life has treated him good. Please if you would help me in finding him and letting him and/or his relatives know my mail address so that we could get in touch.   Donald taught me a lot about life, and the best one is the reason to why I´m writing this mail; he used to say "Don´t let anyone steal your dream".

Hello Skip,

I was "surfing" the internet for an old friend and came across her name on your website. Elliott Davis was looking for her. Her name is Antoinette (CHIP) Agliata. His email came back as undeliverable which is perfectly understandable after 10 years. I was wondering if he ever found her? I was in a rock band that played in the Rockaways in the late 60's and she came to see us a lot. Any help you could give would be appreciated.

To All,

This is a shot in the DARK!!!

I spend Winters in Palm Beach, FL.. I have known your former classmate, Sam Davis, for several years. He had lived in south Florida for 20 + years. Bluntly, Sam was the most unique guy I've ever come across, and his mold is destroyed. He often spoke of his days in Far Rockaway and Bernie Madoff! I'm now thinking, was Sam or Bernie the most unique?

Sadly, Sam passed away on 4/18/11 in the hospital of many complications. He went down with a smile as the same ole Sam!   Sam's second wife, Linda, and his daughter, Jill, predeceased him within the past year.

Sam told his friends that he had been married pre Linda, and had a son with his first wife. Their names are unknown to us. He said he had recently talked to his son after a 45 + years hiatus. I think his son is a doctor in Norfolk, VA.  His son the doctor had Sam's biological grandson whom Sam never met.

Sam wanted me to notify his "family" of his death. I want to do this. I got your email address from the Far Rockaway High School Class of '55 Message Board through Google.

Can you help me?  Thank you,

Hi. I am looking for an old childhood friend of mine who lived on beach 109th st off of Rockaway Beach Blvd. He lived on a dead end street.

We hung out with another kid named Richard Wagner and my cousin Joseph Sanges. This was from 196?-1972. I hope you can find him. I remember that he had a big family.

Perhaps someone reading the lost classmates page can assist me in finding Francine Sheeber & or Sandra Cohen, who both graduated 1965. Francine & I went to elementary school together (P.S. 273 in Brooklyn), then we both moved to Far Rockaway & attended JHS 198 (Cardoza) and on to FRHS.

Sandra Cohen and I met in JHS 166 in Brooklyn, then we both moved to Far Rockaway & finished JHS (198) & then FRHS .

I've looked for these gals from time to time but have not been successful. Anyone knowing a married name for either one or a location of residence would be most helpful. I don't mind doing the research.

If anyone knows him or where he is today we would appreciate it, I have tried to find him so many times over the years but I guess the name Michael Paul is pretty common because I haven't had any luck at all.

This is a long shot, but I hope that if you'll post this, it will get some results. I am looking for Robert (Bob) Hanley who was a lifeguard at Rockaway Beach in the late 1950's. Bob may have been a graduate of FRHS (I'm not sure); I went to John Adams H.S. however, we both spent a lot of time in the summers there since we were little kids. Bob was a lifeguard at different beaches; but mainly around B 98 and B116. For the last years he worked there he was a lieutenant. Bob went to St. John's University in Queens and I went off to college in upstate NY. If this rings a bell with anyone reading this, please drop me a line and thanks for the help.

Hello, my name is Leilani Martinez. I resided at 51-45 Almeda Ave.( Edgemere, B. 54th St.) and attended P.S.105 in 1976-1979, I didn't graduate from this school because my mom (Kathy Martinez) moved out of Far Rockaway. I'm looking for the Glover family and Maldonado family. I recently signed up with Classmates hoping to find them, but no luck. I stumbled upon this website and decided to post something and hope that maybe someone will know and help me reunite with these families. People knew me by my first name, Leilani, or Mama or Loni. If anyone knows these families, please help me. Contact me at layzworld2004@yahoo.com    Thank you!

There is Always Hope so Don't Give Up!

The Kindness of Strangers

Many times over the years since I've worked with our database of FRHS alums, I've received messages from alums and non-alums who are searching for a relative or friend who attended FRHS. It saddens me when I have to write back that if they aren't in our database, I don't know where they are located, and I list the web pages for several search engines. A couple of times I was able to find people and put them together, which was such a good feeling for me. Then one day the tables turned.

I had searched for my cousin, Leonard Solomon, for years. I thought he lived in Florida, but there are many people named Leonard Solomon listed in Florida, New York and New Jersey (the last address I had for him was in NJ). I called them all, but never got anywhere...very discouraging. Since we've not seen each other in well over 50 years, I was concerned that perhaps he wasn't with us any longer, and out of desperation, googled the high school he went to, Sewanhaka, the high school he attended when he lived in Floral Park. I found the name and e-mail of a lady heavily involved in her own class of 1954 55th reunion, took a chance and mailed her. She mailed me back that her husband graduated with my cousin in 1952 (they did not know each other) and she even scanned the page in their yearbook with Lenny's photo. I thanked her profusely for responding so quickly and said not to worry about getting back to me until after her reunion was over, but a day later, I got an e-mail from her with two words: LENNY FOUND! Under that was his address and phone number. I still haven't figured out how she did it, but five minutes later I was talking to my cousin...she had called him and he knew it was me. I also was able to get a phone number for Lenny's brother Irwin, a Sewanhaka grad from 1947, and we had a wonderful family reunion.

Bless the internet and the kindness of strangers.

I graduated from P.S.39 in 1945. I played the "Dumb Wife" that was done every year by the graduating class. I am looking for any classmates that graduated that year... Ida Mae Catherwood was the president at the time and Miss Hahnle (sp) was the graduating teacher. Mrs. Cizik (sp) taught music appreciation and also led the school chorus, which I was a part of. And anyone that went to school in those years surely remembers Mrs. Orchard, who always dressed in orchard and wore orchard jewelry...and a Ms Messner (sp) who was a bitch on wheels. Some of my classmates were...Marcia Rubinstien, Caroline Hirschman, Francis Diodati, Gina Greenhill, Alan (Kip) Gerstein, Gloria Klarfield, Albert Rosen, Alan Bernstein, Gerard (cubby) Cassino (sp) Sondra Bond... I am now living in S.E. Florida and would love to hear from any of you. (I lost my picture of our graduating class and would love to have a copy of it...I was in the front row.)

My name is Art Kirsch and I’m trying to locate a best childhood friend who visited me every day for two years when I was homebound and confined to a wheelchair. I lived on Gipson Street and before my illness, Lloyd (I called him Lloydee) went to PS 104 together. A couple of years I recovered my family moved to Brooklyn so I didn’t attend Far Rock (my older sister did). Lloydee and I lost touch. I’ve thought of him often, checked the Vietnam Memorial board, searched the Internet, all to no avail.   Assuming he went to Far Rock for 4 years, it is likely he graduated sometime between 1962 and 1964. I now live in California but would love to reconnect with him if possible.

If you know of his whereabouts, please feel free to forward this email to him. Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

Hey Skip,

It could be you could help. I have tried for about a year to find my old friend Mark Goldman from the class of 63. We grew up together at 1087 Gipson St and went to PS104. I got shipped out to Military School after 1 year of Cardoza, but would have been in the class of ’63 also. I have been trying to find Mark for a while…I see his face in the reunion shots, but no email or other references to him anywhere.

Any info you may have would be appreciated.  FYI, my dad owned the Manor Hotel at 2400 Seagirt Blvd before it became the Phoenix house. My sister Adrianne (Jodie) is married to cousin Brucie. She was in the class of ’54 or 55.

Hi Skip - I came across the amazing Hall of Honor listed on your alumni website. What a great way to remember those who have served our country.
I came across the name Henry J. Dehnert listed with the WWII veterans and wondered if he still has family in the area. I believe he may have gone to Columbia University with my dad. In fact, dad actually spoke about "Dutch Dehnert" at an awards dinner at Columbia this week, which happened to fall on Veterans' Day. Dad told how Dutch went overseas to serve with the army in Europe, while dad went with the navy to Japanese territory. When dad came home on leave, the first thing he did was go to Columbia to find his friend Dutch, only to find out that he had been killed in action.  I think it would be amazing if Dad could touch base with Dutch's family. If you have any information that would be helpful in contacting them, I would greatly appreciate it if you would send it to me.  Thanks in advance for your time and consideration.  Have a great day!

Probably from 1968-1978 or so I lived at the "park"-  the p.s.104 playground in Bayswater.  Funny thing, for some reason we ended up there today-haven't been there since the 100 year reunion. For those of us who were fortunate to call it our 2nd home ( because we did virtually live there), they are amazing memories. Without a doubt, we had the best football, basketball, & softball games in the area. Saturday mornings, we started playing football @ 9, and didn't stop till 4- can u imagine that we used to do that? And if you lost, you'd just play basketball until you had "next".  

And, we had our very own game, "foot hockey", in the handball courts. How great were those games?? You had to be tough to play in the box! All you guys ( and Nancy Lieberman) that lived there-  does anyone know what happened to Jay Smith???? I've often wondered what has become of him. You could always count on jay to paint the lines @ night on the fields, and always ready to play day or night, rain or shine.  He was an amazing athelete....yeah, a little nuts, but didn't we have the best games?????  Any of you fellow Bayswater boys know what happened, or how he can be reached, please e-mail or post back.

Really cool idea to help people find lost friends. I joined Classmates recently and received over 100 hits these last few months. Although I don't remember most of them, I now have several new / old friends and am having lots of fun talking to them. I graduated F.R.H.S. in 1967 and had a few friends I still cant find. Among them are Audrey Schulman ( grad. 1968 ) and Elise Cooper 67 or 68. If you can contact them kindly let them know that Al Vernieri would love to hear from them.

Many thanks for the response.

My wife's family is from Far Rockaway, very early born 60's and 1 cousin in Breezy Point.  There was a family abuse incident that caused all 6 children to go into foster care then adoption.  We have found 2 of them.

Then one day looking at the Far Rock site, there was a couple of pics that the girl next to Jamie Lepenna almost is an identical twin to my wife. The era of pic 1978-1982 would have been correct.

I thought Jamie would have known her last name, so sent her an Email 2x with no response, this including to Rocco to whom also was looking for Jamie.  There also was no response.

Jamie, literally has disappeared off the earth, we lived at one time 20 miles from her in St. Charles Il.

Hi Skip,

I am interested in finding my prom date, Peter Zaphiris. He was class of '56 . I am class of '57. While looking thru some of the reunion photos I saw a photo of Peter at his 50th reunion. What a blast from the past. I started looking for my 50th info this year. I had the wrong year in my mind. My 50th was last June. Bummer. I have had so much fun reading messages from familiar names and have laugh and cried at some of them. They have brought back a flood of memories. Good memories. From what I was able to find on Google Peter may live in Huntington, Long Island. I emailed and called. No answer and no answering machine. Do you have any contact info or how I can I get my contact info to him? We stayed in touch while he was at Tulane and I was at Hunter College here in NY but drifted apart after awhile. My name was Mary Nafplotis back then. I live in Jamaica Estates, NY not far from Huntington. It would be a hoot to make contact.

I wish I had found these sites sooner. I sent quite a few emails. So far I have gotten several undeliverable messages. I heard from Carol today about registration details.

Keep me posted if there are any get togethers for class of 56 0r 57.

You guys do such a wonderful service for us and take us back to a much earlier time in our lives.

I was saddened at the memorials for names I recognized. It's too soon.

Skip,

I lived in Edgemere Houses (Almeda Ave. at Beach 54th Street). I attended PS 105 & JHS 198 before going to (and schlepping the one hour plus commute on the A-Train each way) Brooklyn Tech.  However, I have such fond memories of my years in Far Rockaway and the rivalry with Tech (our football team lost each year to "The Rock").

I've completely lost touch with great friends such as Michael Bradford and Dennis Gonzalez, '73. I hope they read this.

This is an incredible site and, as a fellow educator, I congratulate you on what you have done here.   Take Care...

Hi,

It's been quite awhile since I last contacted the FRHS Alumni. I received a call from a graduate of FRHS. His name is James Houser, and he lived in the Loyard Apartment House. He was also one of the stars on the Seahorses Football Team in the early 50s during the Neil Highlander days. He was trying to locate a couple of his neighbors and students of the school, Barbara Sansone and Barbra Macklas, who lived in the Loyard and Ellen Friedman who lived on the boardwalk between 123rd St. and 124th St.

And now the sad news. Two of our classmates past away a while back. Paul Satsman and Rodger Rothstein.

I haven't seen nor spoken with Jimmy since the late 1950s. How he found my phone number I do not know. He called me late last night and we spoke for almost two hours.

Please let me know what you can find out. Jimmy has no computer. When you reply, I wll contact him.

Dear Sir,

I was a graduate of 1945, married a younger alum, Sali Ann Ribakove, in 1957, we both have had remarkable careers in the performing arts, and principally dance and music; I was a critic for The Washington Post 1966-96, earned Pulitzer (in Criticism) in 1976; I am seeking classmate Pearl Ett, a knockout, cheerleader; fellow graduate Sue Goddin Lutkoff, now living in Florida, tells me she knows her and lives not far. As an FRHS undergrad, I had terrific crushes on both Sue and Pearl; have miraculously gotten back in contact with Sue, who was a gifted pianist in her FRHS days, and is now comparing piano notes with my brother-in-law Juilliard grad Sy Ribakove, who lives in Congers, NY. Anyone out there besides Sue who knows Pearl and her whereabouts (PS, when I started college, at MIT, I had a roommate, Bob Lurie, who saw the picture of Pearl in my Dolphin, and ALSO ON THAT BASIS HAD A HUGE CRUSH ON PEARL AND WAS DYING TO MEET HER!!!--never did, of course!).

Hello!

I'm trying to surprise my husband, James V. Cunningham, (Class of 1959). He had two great friends Michael Boosen (not sure of the spelling) and Dave Proval. I would love to know if anyone has any info about them or their whereabouts. Jimmy speaks of them often and I thought it would be nice if I located them and told them of his interest and his great memories.

Mike Boosen was in my sister-in-law's class (Nancy Cunningham) and she graduated in 1958. Mike lived on 142nd street in Belle Harbor and I believe he also graduated with Nancy.

Also, Dave Proval he also would have graduated with my sister in 1958 (I think). Dave went on to become an actor, playwright. He recently appeared in the "Sopranos" and had a recurring role in "Everybody Loves Raymond".

Any information would be helpful and I think it would be a wonderful surprise for my husband.

Hi,

I am trying to locate someone from the FRHS Class of 1966. Her name was Cathy Selwyn and she lived in Belle Harbor/Neponsit. I haven't had any luck asking around the neighborhood. I did locate her old friend & classmate, Marla Rosengarten, but she doesn't know where Cathy currently is.

My name is Kelly DeMatteis, long time Belle Harbor resident, but Stella Maris grad. I am the patient of a doctor who dated Cathy back in those days and it's one of those "whatever happened to Cathy" inquiries. He lived in Rockville Centre and used to take the bus to Rockaway to see Cathy. When he heard that I was from Rockaway, he wanted to know if I knew the Selwyns. He thought they owned a hotel in Manhattan.

If you could post a request in the missing classmates section, I'd appreciate it.

From 215:  Linda Ramos, Lila Bradley, my best friend Marcia and I don’t remember her last name. I remember she lived near a teacher’s house on I think beach 20th St. She moved to Oceanside I think for the 6th grade and I was devastated. Never got hr phone number or anything.  Also, Sari Wilner (blood sister J), Keith who lived in Wavecrest used to be in my class. He was so sweet when this bully girl was threatening me, telling me to stand up to her.  Tina Mays, Michelle who was friends with Tina, Gwen, Howie Silver from Far Rockaway.

Hi Skip,

I'm not sure if you can help me with this. I grew up in Far Rockaway and graduated FRHS in 1986. I went to PS 215 back in the 70's. I had a best friend named Collette back in those days. Unfortunately, I cannot remember her last name. I think she may have even lived near 32nd. Street off of Seagirt Blvd., but I'm not completely sure. The reason why I am looking for her is that I was just watching some old films that we put on DVD and at one of my birthday parties she was there and it brought back so many memories of us being best friends. From the best of my knowledge, I went to PS 215 from the years of 74-82, ( I think) from kindergarten through 5th grade.  Hopefully you can help me or lead me in some direction. Thank you.

Hello Ellyn Weinstock,

I was looking through the FRHS web site as I do often and it is a great way to stay in touch with old friends. While looking through the site I saw your picture and the note that you posted (not sure how long ago) and I saw you mention two good friends that you were attempting to find, Sharon & Johnny Hays. Well they are my cousins and have two brothers, Dennis & Peter. I don’t know if you are aware, but John was killed years ago in some altercation that I never got all the details on how it happened, but I was a bit younger at the time and so maybe my family wanted to spare me the gory details. Anyway, I have not seen Sharon, Peter or Dennis in years and back in the 70’s and 80’s we were all very close and as a matter of fact I have two brothers, Tom & John Hays (twins) that graduated from FRHS in 1965 and I was wondering if you were ever able to establish contact with Sharon. If by some chance you ever get any information on where Sharon is, most of my contact information is below and I graduated FRHS in 1979 along with my twin sister, Rita. Thank you very much for indulging me by reading this email and take care.  (Ellyn, send me your new email address)

Hello Skip,

Towards the end of last year I sent an email looking for an old friend and although I still have had no information sent from anyone I remain hopeful. There is another old girlfriend from FRHS that I am trying to find although she did not graduate from there. In 1978, one of my first true loves was a girl named Dawn Raifman. At the time she was a freshman and after that year her family moved to Melville and we lost touch just from the whole distance issue. The last I heard she was heading to California, but that was back in the early 80's. One day in the mid 80's she found my number and called and sounded like she was in some trouble and told me that she was at a mutual friends house just a block or two away and at that time I lived in Bayswater. I have not heard from her since and wanted to get in touch with her. Doing some searches showed me that she was living in Huntington and I think some of her family lives in Jericho. If anyone has an idea of where she might be please pass on my email. I would love to hear from her. Thank you. Regards,

Hi Skip,
 
I'm looking for Chris Egan from Rockaway Beach. He didn't graduate from FRHS but would probably have been with the class of '65 or '66. He'd be 58 now.  I met him when he was in the Navy while he was stationed in Newport, RI back in1966. He returned to New York in May of 1966 when he was discharged, and I haven't heard from him since. I'm hoping someone knows his whereabouts and will give him my email address and ask him to please contact me.
  
One thing I remember about Chris was that education was very important to him even though he didn't graduate. He did get his GED. He encouraged me to finish high school, as much as I hated it. I went on from there to college, which I found I really liked. There's more to the story, but I want him to know how he impacted my life.
 
He was so proud of Rockaway Beach, I can't believe that no one would know how to contact him now. I've read the Kaplan's book "Between Ocean and City" and I suppose some of the conditions could have forced him to leave the area, but I think he still would have remained connected somehow.
 
I'd also appreciate any information anyone could give me. If he's retired, living out of state, other people or places I should contact, etc. Thank you,

I enjoy checking in from time to time and see who else has found this wonderful site and sharing with them old memories.

I would love to hear from anyone who knew Mitchell Silverman, and knows how I can get in touch with him.

He lived on 228th St. between 13lst and 132nd Avene. In the early 70's his family moved to Woodbridge NJ. Thanks. I can be reached at jsternberg@yahoo.com

A HAPPY AND HEALTHY NEW YEAR TO ALL OF YOU, A YEAR OF PEACE FOR ALL OF US.

and high school. Then lost touch. Does anyone know the whereabouts of Ronald Young (sister Debbie). Lived on Grassmere Terrace. Graduated Far
Rockaway High School 1970. Went off to Oneonta College and lost touch.

Much appreciated,

Hi Skip,

I recently wrote looking for Rhonda Bergrin. She was a good friend in high school and because of the web site I received help from classmates in her last known town. But unfortunately the worst news came from her brother's friend. Rhonda is no longer with us and I would like to thank him for taking the time to talk to me. I loved her and think of her often.

Hi Skip,

Just reading through some names and was wondering if Richard Schatz '51 is from the Schatz family that owned Schatz' Butcher Shop (35th st?), and if he has a daughter who is now a doctor in NY? He would have graduated with my mother (Marie Aschettino '51).
thanks.

Hi Skip,

It seems that during the past year, everywhere I have gone, I have run into someone who was either from Far Rockaway or knew someone I knew from Far Rockaway.
It must be this web-site doing a number on the universe. Even Carol and I had a serendipitous experience regarding her uncle.

Anyway, I had dinner with some friends and sat next to Steve Pearlman. Although he went to PS 39 and JRHS 198, he did not attend Far Rockaway HS.   However, he would like Richard Osofsky to get in touch with him. This can be done through me for now at harrietbeck@hotmail.com. If anyone knows the whereabouts or email of Richard, please get in touch with me.

Have a great 4th of July!

July 5, 2005Skip, I was given your name/e-mail to perhaps post the name of Robert Thornton nicknamed 'Rocky'. Graduation year was probably '64 or '65.  He lived across from Jamaica Bay in Bayswater at the time. I didn't attend FRHS as I went to Brooklyn Tech. However he and I were friends in our teen years and that was 45 years ago ! Thanks. Ron Heller    Email Address: rheller1@npgcable.com

Dear Skip, 

I'd like very much to know what ever happened to (only good things should happen to her!) Sheila Firestone of Belle Harbor, probably the Class of '58 or '59. She was in a class by herself as the most beautiful girl I've ever seen, and in 48 years in the newspaper business I got to interview some good competition for Sheila: Gina Lollobrigida, Olivia De Havilland, Lauren Bacall, Elke Sommer, Simone Signoret, Leslie Caron, Lucille Ball, Katharine Hepburn, Lee Remick, Diana Ross, Marlo Thomas, Leslie Uggams, Anna Moffo and quite a few more, mostly in the '60s and '70s.

I heard, long ago, second or third hand, that she went to George Washington University or Georgetown, got married and had three children. She had a younger sister, Tina. I'd love for her to see this and to know how she's doing.

Hi Skip,

This is one of the finest high school web sites online you have done a great job. My name is Peter Shulman. My cousin Margo Guryan (Rosner) FRHS(55) and myself grew up at 856 Central Ave. in Far Rockaway. While Margo went to PS 37 I attended Woodmere Academy. I did not attend the high school but was instead sent to prep school (my loss). My mother, Margo’s and another sister were all 3 1920s graduates of FRHS their maiden names were Lesoff. My grand father Dr. M Lesoff and then my father Dr. S. Shulman were the chiefs of radiology at area hospitals including St Josephs. 
 
I have many great memories of growing up in Far Rockaway. I wonder if anyone else remembers when the

army came and dug in on the beach during WW II. We all went to the boardwalk near the carousel to watch. Did anyone else sneak into the Pix when their parents dropped them at the Strand or Columbia on Saturday afternoons?
I am trying to find a girl from Margo’s class that I was close to. Her name is or was Judy Sirroca (spelling may be wrong). I am also looking for an old great friend from those days who also lived on Central Avenue, Danny Goldstein. If anyone from those years (53-55)can help me get in touch with Judy and Danny I would really appreciate it. If anyone wants to know what Margo or I have done with our lives all they have to do is put either of our names in Google. Margo has become a cult figure in the music world and my paintings hang in most of the major museums in this country and abroad. Margo didn’t want her e-mail posted but I will forward any mail from classmates to her. Thank you for posting this. I have many pictures of Far Rockaway from the old days and will scan some and send them.
