I am keeping this link active just to remind us how far we have
come. In 1997, this page constituted the entire website. Thanks to
the wonderful support of our alumni, the Rockaway website has grown into what it
is today. Thanks as always for your support!

Here is the answer to the second "Name This Teacher" contest.
As many of you knew, Arthur Traiger was
our first mystery teacher. Several of you were able to identify him. Many of you knew the
identity of this FRHS teacher as well.
If you have any Rockaway trivia
questions for the next contest, please send them to me, with the answers. Thanks.....

Many thanks to Eric Heifetz, Class of 1967
for sending this unbelievable
photo of Central Avenue taken from the corner of Mott Avenue looking
toward the beach. This photo was taken around 1927. Can that be
"Benny the Cop's" father?
This photo was probably taken in the late 1940s or early 1950s. This
is
Harold Schain (or better known as Hal). He was my father. He and my
mom owned the luncheonette on Far Rockaway Boulevard from 1947 to
1957. I am sure that there are many FRHS grads that remember skipping
a class here and there and getting a soda or malted in that store!! In
August of 1957 my father met his untimely death at age 33 in a two-seater
plane crash. His passion was flying. I was born in October of that year.
That's when Ellie and Phil purchased the store from my mom.
I hope this photo jogs some memories. I would love to hear any stories
about my father!
See you in September.

Thanks Jody for this wonderful memory. I know that I spent many
afternoons on one of those stools.
  
Thanks to Richard Herbst who sent this great
photo of a book of matches
circa 1952, that his grandfather printed up to sell more Oldsmobiles to
the Rockaways. He started in 1932 at 71st Street and Beach Channel
Drive and opened this dealership in 1949. The Buick is what Richard
plans to drive in the parade at the 100th reunion. Excellent!
Click on the photo to see this 1948 Buick

Richard also sent along this great photo of
Lisa Berman, Class of 1973
 
Thank you all for trying to come up with the
identity of our mystery
guest teacher. It is, of course, Mr. Arthur Traiger. Five of you were able
to correctly identify him....Click on his photo to see what he has been
doing since leaving Far Rockaway High School. Arthur writes to say,
"My son's caption:
Arthur Traiger, multimedia pioneer."

If you have any pictures, stories, and memories
of the "good old
days", or want to place a classified ad, I would be happy to include
them. Photos of "then and now" would be great! Someone send me
a good picture of Far Rockaway High School and the Gino's Pizza
store front, as well as anything else that represents Rockaway to
you. Please send photos to:
A self-addressed stamped envelope would be
appreciated so I can return your "stuff".
If you can send me computer images via e-mail,
that would be much
better. Send them as attachments to the following e-mail address and
I'll add them to this site as soon as possible. GIF or JPG images preferred.

HotMail, is no longer reliable and is taking too long to deliver
the mail.
Hope that your photos, memories,
stories, classified ads,
and anything else you can think of land here soon so we
can all share them.
