I’m amazed at the response this thread has generated. This blog thread has reached 2500 comments. Unfortunately, that’s more than this little blog can bear. I think it’s time to move this discussion over to a proper discussion board, at Brooklynian.com. I’m closing this thread, but the discussion continues at this address:

Marie Elena Giuttari D’Angelo
How are you and Jack? How are your daughters? I’ve said this to you many times at Anne Marie and Anthony’s house but I remember being at the Church the day you and Jack were married. That memory has always remained with me.

Judy Giordano-Banjany
My memory of Sister Ann was when Jolene and I were twirling. Our Mothers travelled to all the different schools to help us get prepared and watch us compete. We had so much fun.

When I returned home I visited site and noticed people the old neighborhood.Many people I sure I would know, however I never been good with names, sorry lol.

I lived on 19st, between 6th and 7th avenues. Many good times there.

I have two beauitful Grandchildren, Isabella, and Christopher.

Danny Lovaglio, haven’t heard from you in a such a long time, sorry we were unable to connect years past, hope all is well, Nancy and family. Last we spoke I beleive I was was just completing my home in SI.

Pete & Carol, I knew they lived on Staten Island some where in Great Hills, hope they are well, please tell them I said hello.

Mildred Romano, wow haven’t seen you in many years, How’s Margie aka ( Babydoll ) and Terry.

Scrolling for hours last nite reading variuos comments, I noticed one from Anthony Oliva asked about Mary Hortkorn from 15st. Mary is doing well. Since I don’t really know you Anthony, I’m reluctant to give further information without contacting her and asking her permission, I’m sure you understand.

Ralph

Thanks for the corrected email address for Maria. I’ll update the list.

Did you talk to Terry about the money you dropped off? It was for five of you and I thought Carol responded for six (6). Is someone not coming? I thought maybe Willie dropped out. It better not be one of the Castaldo sisters……………..I want to give a hug to ALL of them. Let Terry know.

TERRY,

Do we need dessert? If so, how about a couple of sheet cakes from Costco? Let me know.

It was wonderful talking to you last night and for certain, it was a devine intervention. Unbelievable! Thanks so much.

Yes, dear, I am making name tags. It’s the least I can do since you’re going to bring that DVD of the band. I was a young girl, but I remember Jeanne taking me to the block parties and listening to you play and loving it so much.

Someone should bring the “Jesus Christ Superstar” CD. That was another record that was played constantly by Jeanne and Dawn O’Donnell.

GOT THE INFO THANKS MUCH.QUESTION ARE YOU MAKING NAME TAGS UP ?
CHOW

i didn’t know you wanted us to bring something. tell me what you want or need.

donna

Terry did you get ahold of Joanne? If not I’ll go to King Kullen and find her at work. Joanne told Mom she , Joannie Red Calciano and a couple of others are coming.
Everyone bring those books for signing LOL! Only kidding.

It was my husband, Joe, that your father in law stood up for at confirmation not my brother, Billy.

I mentioned Marie Cavallo, she was also very involved in all the plays at St. Johns. Also I said their daughters were Grace, Franny and Rita – opps – that’s a mistake the youngest daughter was LucyAnn and she lives in Hollywood, Fl. and we exchange christmas cards and greetings every year. Rita is Grace Cavallo’s youngest . They lived in the first house after the garages on 22nd st. and Frank Cavallo was always sitting inside the gate. My cousin, Tommy Mullalley bought the house after they moved. He has since moved to Las Vegas.

Yes, I do remember Rose Panica as being one of our girl scout leaders also.

Marie Elena, would Frances Panchok know the where abouts of Carolyn German? Do you rember the great birthday parties Mrs. Panchok always had for Frances?

Florence Palma – I will get in touch with you ~ a lot of catching up to do…….

Have a Wonderful Labor Day Everyone and God Bless the USA……

Blesssings,
Elaine

Ter:

maria castaldo trabolse e mail is mtrabolse@aol.com the spelling was incorrect hope this helps.

roz

i will bring lipton tea bags as my husband anthony only drinks tea……anyone else a ta drinker.

Janet
It’s so strange that I don’t remember you from back then at PS 146. I team taught in First Grade and then went to 2nd. I had Mrs. Mary Ferrara as my para. She was a lovely woman.

Cousin Patty

Yes, I did not mention that my Mom and Aunt Caroline Negri worked the bar during the day on certain days. I remember hearing about your fist fight with your sister , Rita. The Negri girls could fight except for Marianne. My Mom was so upset and never stopped talking about Rita and Patty actually fist fighting in front of people too. Being an only child I found it all so amusing.

Heard Sister Ursula is back in the States now. Don’t know what happened to Stanly and Bobby. When Sister was in Rome she was friendly with Cathy Guerrasio from 22nd Street who still resides in Roma.

If you email me, I’ll send the information for the reunion including Terry Angelo’s address to mail the money. She is collecting the money and I’m taking the responses and further harassing people to attend and pay (lol).

Hope you can come. My email address is:

TommysMommy@Bellsouth.net

I sent you an email using the revised email address. I hope you got it. It had the information about the reunion.

My brother Jack died in 1997 June 25th. 10 days before he died we were all at a party for Jim and my 25th Anniversary. He looked pretty bad that day. We thought he wouldn’t make the party but he did and died 10 days later. He had Cardiomyopathy(?) Remember Beaches the movie- Bette Midler (?) her friend had that..

My brother Sal is good retired but can’t sit still, he’s always doing something. He likes carpentry, he just re did his daughters house.

Gus (Gaspare) is upstate in middletown , NY his daughter just had twins. My sister Ann lives in Va. and Mary (Marie) in Manhattan.

RALPH

Yes that is the Harvey Bird who has relatives in Staten Island….He was and I still consider him a very good friend of mine growing up on 22nd Street in the late 50’s…

HERES MY CORRECT EMAIL ENDRESULTSTUDIO@AOL.COM

Arizona has strange time zones. In the summer we use Pacific Standard Time, but in the winter it’s Mountain. So right now I’m three hours behind you, but in January it’ll be two hours. It’s 2:30 right now and 5:30 pm in NY.

Please call me in about two hours because I’m working on a report that I must finish. Call my home number since I’m almost out of minutes on my cell – must get a new plan. I’m going swimming later today, but I’d give anything to be on a beach right now – even a NY beach!

Does anyone remember the huge horseshoe crabs that would wash up on the Brighton, Coney Island and Rockaway beaches? I believe those crabs have been around since the Jurassic era!

I lived in Brighton Beach for three years and loved walking on the beach in the winter time – only the Polar Bear Club members were in the water then. Remember them? Does anyone remember getting Knishes on Brighton Beach Ave.?

Does anyone remember Washington Baths – a private swim club in Coney Island with a huge pool, private beach, saunas and steam rooms. My parents and extended family would go there a few times each summer with a picnic full of fried veal cutlet and eggplant parm. sandwiches – with watermelon and peaches to follow. I’d give anything to be back there with my family now.

Must go.
