It is said that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.  A while back I authored a page, http://www.farrockaway.com/officialsite.html which still appears on our main site, http://www.farrockaway.com.  The reason for this new page is to let you, as registered FRHS alums, know that we are still the "real deal," and that many new sites have appeared which try to convince you that they are the "official" FRHS site.  They're tricky!  Some even use the school's 25th Street address as their location to make you believe they're associated with FRHS.  Believe me, they aren't!!

As I've said previously, you are free to join whatever association you wish.  Our effort here is to make you aware of the imitators, and that you may or may not be giving your personal information (and/or money) to "fake" reunion sites.

I'm going to list as many of these as I can.  The legitimate ones, such as classmates.com, I'm not going to bother with.  They charge, but it's an up-front fact that they do.

First, please know that any site which begins, http://www.farrockaway.com is ours and that it has undergone scrutiny by either me or Skip Weinstock. We are not farrockaway.net!!  Skip and I began this site almost 12 years ago and we have a world-wide membership of 6,195 as of today, Feb. 1, 2009.
