Skip,

On a pleasant Sunday afternoon several weeks ago, four members of the class of 1969 took a trip to Bayswater to visit our Public School (104), and the streets and houses where we grew up. We met the president of Bayswater Jewish Center, Mr. Sidney Soloway, who was kind enough to take a picture of  us standing in front of the synagogue where we attended Hebrew School "a few" years ago. I hope you find this photo suitable for display on the web site.

Sincerely,

Barry Fomberstein


 

Skip-

Attached is a photo of a 1969 gathering of classmates taken at Charlie Mahl*s apartment on South Beach in Miami Beach Fla. I took the photo.  From left to right: Charles Mahl, Richard Kirchner, William Landberg, Alan Kaye, Bert Wolf.  Also attending was Winkler Weinberg; but he was out jogging when the photo was taken.  Thanks

Skip,

This picture is taken at my 50th birthday party in New York City at the Palm Restaurant. All four of us graduated FRHS in 1969. We also were the four officers-from left to right-Billy Landberg was Senior Class President, Charlie Mahl was Senior Class Vice President, Richard Bey was School Vice President, and Alan Kaye was School President. Billy does investments, I am a Retinal Surgeon, Richard is in radio and television and Alan is a Radiologist.  So 33 years after graduation, we still are partying together!  Work a place on the web site.   Thanks, Charlie Mahl.

Dwight Simmons, Class of 1969, joins us from Brooklyn, New York and shares this memory. "One of my math teachers was Mr. Magdolin, the chairman. I hung out in his office and got to use the most advanced computer in the Board of Ed - an IBM 360. (I think it had slightly more computing power than my Casio calculator I have now). Anyway, there were assorted Geeks and others like myself. We punched cards and complied programs using the library deck. The deck was about 2,000 cards that had to be in order. One day, I picked up a box of blank cards and "accidently" dropped them in front of Mr. Magdolin. The look on his face was pure horror because he thought I had dropped the Library."

Thanks to Dwight for his contribution. Send me some photos and more stories.

William Landberg, Class of 1969, joins us from New York, New York and shares the following. "I am a graduate of Class of 1969 and have become intrigued with the Internet process re contacting old friends. I've actually made contact with some people with whom I hadn't thought about in almost thirty years. It's a form of time warp but the interesting part is that we are all connected to the Rockaway experience. I have spoken to a number of classmates and I have detected a great deal of apathy re the school. I have to surmise that the allegiances are strong re the undergrad experience. I also have been in contact with FRHS administration and some of the organizers and it seems that the school administration appears to be a tad apathetic as well. The school and area has changed radically- no overcrowding and no triple session. The school is woefully under funded for any extras such as sports programs or computers. I have considered organizing a fund raising effort to build a computer facility but it does not seem to be generating any excitement from my peers regardless of their level of affluence. If this generation does not have basic computer literacy then we are all in big trouble.

William can be reached at

Thanks to William for his contribution. Let's see what we can do to assist him with his vision for the school.

William, send me some photos. Too many mailbags, not enough pictures!!!

Barry Fomberstein, Class of 1969, joins us from Long Island, New York and writes the following:

I lived in Far Rockaway from 1959 to 1973, and I attended PS 104, JHS 180 and Far Rockaway High School (Class of 1969). My parents still live in Far Rockaway, on Dickens Street near Bayswater Jewish Center. I'm curious about what happened to many of my classmates, but I haven't kept in touch with anyone.

I certainly remember "Crazy Eddie" and Gino's. I still live on Long Island, and I'm sure that many of my former classmates are still in the NYC area. As this Web Site becomes better known, it will give some of us a chance to compare notes.

Barry can be reached at barryf4100@aol.com, or bfomberstein@pol.net

Thanks to Barry for writing. Please send along any photos you have and would like to share.

Concepcion, Zaida - zipyoga@yahoo.com - Brooklyn Heights, NY - Updated December, 2012
My name is Zaida Concepcion and I did not graduate from the Rock but I attended from '66 to October '68. I moved and graduated from Franklin K. Lane.  I have been monitoring this web site for a while and been tempted to add my name, but I am a systems person and as such, very skeptical about listing personal information on the web. I guess today, the memorial page tugged at my heart, especially since just this morning I was preparing a blurb in my mind to list.  So, while remembering my friends from a time so long ago, I came across Arnelle Wetzler's memorial for Alan Reitkopf('69) and it broke my heart. Of all the boys in JHS 180, Alan was the kindest and most real. I never feared Alan rather, around him I remember feeling safe and protected.  May God rest his soul. Now, the one kid that terrorized me was Todd Masef. I am sure that today's Todd is well under control. I want to hear how the hell you are: Zoraida Suarez, Gail (the Bomb) Buntzis, Bonnie Blatt (I still cry because you did not go to Far Rock), Joanne Spallanzani, Mark Rosenberg, Ronald Soffer (my september love), Greg Foster (You still walk on water for me), Jeffrey Rubenstein(remember when you and Joel were filming Agent 007-the Rockaway sequel), David Pomerantz (did you make a million dollars yet?) and Richie Bey(some of my Rockaway relatives, I am afraid to admit, were on your TV show.)  Best Regards to All, Zaida.......PS...I  had occasion to talk on the phone with a very nice man from Far  Rockaway that I dated only once.   He caught up to me by way of your net site.   It was a hoot!  Thank you for keeping track of us from the bottom of my heart.

Thank you, Skip and Carol, for providing a great website.

I along with fellow 1969 grad, Sol Passik have a part in it. A DVD can be purchased. See: WWW.MATHEMATICALLYALIVE.COM

Greetings from Carolina! I'd love to hear from the many friends and neighbors I had not only from FRHS, but from PS 42, JHS 198 and the Arverne, Edgemere, Nordeck community.  Moved to Rockaway in 1960. Lived in Nordeck, on Beach 57th Street. Started PS 42 (3rd grade) the day of Hurricane Donna. Attended Cardozo JHS 198 and of course, Far Rockaway. Worked at Morton's Army-Navy and Capri Beach Club. Graduated from the University of North Carolina and have remained in Dixie ever since. Live in Charlotte, NC, where I've been a Social Worker for 23+ years. Single, active, and still have nearly all my hair. Attended the Centenial Reunion last September and had a fantastic time with old friends and acquaintances. Would love to keep in touch ....

Wow, what a great site, thanks for doing this. I would love to know what happened to my best friend Sharon Meyrowitz class of 69, I heard she went to Florida, but that’s all. Also Jon Sargent, class of 67. I live in Port Washington, NY with my husband of 21 years and two teen sons. It is amazing how time has flown by, my sons only want details of my teen years which I refuse to give them.... maybe when they are 35. Since I graduated early in January, really feel like I  missed out terribly on senior memories, was there a prom or graduation party? I have been to reunions and love to see and hear about people from the good ole daze!

Where are all my old (oops!) friends from FRHS and Belle Harbor? Growing up at the beach WAS best. I guess we're all seriously connected to that smelly salt air, sandy toe-jams, and the 'schmuck-schmuck-schmuck' of the gulls. I used to think 131st street to 146th street was an enormous journey. (Let alone the HOUR bus ride and MILE TREK to HS). I TRULY miss that cozy little world!  I've been living in Southern California for 25 years although I love CA...I'll take Rockaway's beach over any of California's rocky, lumpy, shell-starved sand and FRRRRRR-eeeezing water any day. Married for 24 years to Michael. Have 2 great boys...almost completely grown at 23 and 20 years old. Miss you ...and wish you all the best.

Terrific site. There was nothing like growing up in Belle Harbor and Neponsit. P.S.114, JHS 180, FRHS. Our lives were really like an extended vacation. The beach, punchball, stickball, stoopball and just hanging out. We didn't know just how really good we had it. Hopefully we have all benefited from our very unique experience.

Did not graduate with class.  Left in June of 68. Took GED.  However, used to keep in touch with many class mates until I moved out of Rockaway in 1987.  I worked in St. John's Home for Boys until 1986.

An award winning website to be sure! Thank you for all  your hard work. I am from the class of 1969 with fond memories of JHS 198; P.S. 105 and life in Edgemere in the 60's. Looking for my pals: Jeannette Zarovsky; Janice Igoe;  Janie and Annie Tuohey.  Favorite Book: The Bible. Love being a fulltime homemaker.  As I look through the photos and read the comments, I feel the bittersweet emotions of happiness mixed with melancholy for those years of carefree childhood. I thank God for the life I had then and the life He has blessed me with now. I had the privilege of growing up in Arverne from the early to late 60s. Attended PS 105, JHS 198 and graduated from FRHS in 1969. Hope to hear from past friends--and enemies. :)

Didn't know this site existed. I sent five dollars to Far Rock High 5 years ago and never heard from anyone. I thought our class was lost. Great that you are putting together this web site. I found you through Eileen Oshinsky who located me last week. Never heard about the reunion-it was a surprise to me.

Hi everyone: I guess people were trying to find me-my married name is Hurwitz and I live just outside of Scottsdale, AZ with my husband of 16 « years-no children but lots of cats and several parrots. I'm in the software business and do a lot of travelling-mostly in the U.S.-my current territory is 17 states-everything west of the Mississippi up to the states not touching water. I would love to hear from you all out there. I couldn't figure out how to get this posted on the 1969 page so I hope people see this email. My email address is laurie_hurwitz@jdedwards.com. I would love to hear from you.

I am updating my listing. I am still living in Florida with both my wives. I lived in Rockaway between 51st street and 71st street most of my life. Went to PS 42, 105, and 215 and even went to Yeshiva of South Shore for a short time. I was really "out of the loop" socially. Academically, just got by. Great memories however. After FRHS, I attended Woodstock and bounced back to NY for a year or so until finally settling in Florida permanently. I finally found my future in the medical field. Became a Nurse Practitioner then an MD. Traveled most everywhere internationally and am curious to look up old friends, now that the internet has made it possible. E-mail me for my home phone number.

Thank you so much for all the work you have done.  I was in Rockaway this weekend with my husband and 2  children showing them where I grew up; the beach, PS 42, JHS198 and FRHS. Even  Derech Emonah, which is still there, in shambles, but was conducting Friday night services in the basement!    My children are living such a different life in upstate NY and they cannot comprehend the incredible childhood we had in Rockaway.  We were so lucky to have had the incomparable splendour of the small town atmosphere by the beach, yet still so close to the big city.   I still dream about it!!!  Thank you for keeping all those memories alive with your website.

I first came across this website by accident about a year ago. Tried 3 email addresses and 2 people answered me back. Came across it again and since I have a lot of time on my hands I figured it was time to sign up. I grew up on beach 43rd st, so I was somewhat socially isolated. During college we moved into Bayswater. I graduated from Brooklyn College, hung around there taking classes for another year. I then went to the Brooklyn College of Pharmacy, graduated and became a pharmacist. Shortly thereafter, I went to medical school in Mexico. Just moved from Hewlett to Baldwin Harbor. Wouldn't mind hearing from old friends.

Fond memories of FRHS and Belle Harbor ! I live in Fairfax Cty, VA with my wonderful husband, Michael, software engineer, and cute little Yorkie, Jazz. I have 2 amazing children, Erin, veterinarian; Barry, film maker. Love making jewelry, polymer clay, chain maille, PMC, and have a jewelry business. My heart felt sympathy and compassion for all who suffered the tragedies that jolted the Rockaways.
