I graduated in '67. My friends played punch ball, tag, Ring O Leevio, At Park Dr. East we played handball and racquetball with a tennis racket. We even played on the monkey bars and no one got hurt. What did we know from tennis?All our parents were from Brooklyn.

we lived in the garden apts across from the school but 5th grade we moved a half a mile away up near Main and Jewel. My parents were from Flatbush and East NY, Bed-Sty. That's a picture of my then 12 year old daughter. when I went to insert a photo that one got in by mistake and now I'm having trouble changing it. I was on the track and swim team at Queens College for a year when I was in graduate school. But all my years playing in the parks is what got my legs strong.
