Over the years growing up and graduating from PS 42, JHS 198 and from FRHS has really brought back some very special memories. I never want to forget them or the people who made them happen.

Gunnerson, Robert - mgrbob@webtv.net  - Wiainae, HI
Aloha, I went to FRHS 74, 75 & 76. My family and I then moved to Texas, what culture shock. So I got to graduate from Redneck U. I still consider FRHS my school. I'm a surviver of St. Mary's also. Those two fine facilities of higher learning made me the man I am today.....I think I have a law suit. Of course I'm kidding, what wonderful memories have been brought up as I go through the names of best buddies, big crushes and places that have long been forgotten. I live In Hawaii now...always the beach bum. I would love to here from any of the gang.

Since the WTC tragedy it has made us all think of how lucky we are and how much we have to be grateful for. It has made Al and me reflect on all the people we knew and loved from Rockaway, and all the great times we had. We may all have gone in different directions, but we can never forget "Far Rock". We hope this message finds all of you and your loved ones safe and sound and for those that have incurred a tragic loss our thoughts and prayers are with you.   Lisa (Maskin) Sherman and Al (Alvin) Sherman
