Hi Aliza,

It was so good to see you and your daughters - I just had to say hello. My folks still live in the neighborhood and when my boys were younger, they would play in the schoolyard. Did we have Hebrew together? Do you recall our teacher's name? I tell my kids stories all the time.
Take care,
Aviva

hi Aliza,
I just left you a message but it didn't go through for some reason. I remeber you well too. I see Wendy, Alice and her sister periodically.
I spent time in Israel. Is that where you were from?

Hi again

I do remember your father at my wedding and Lisa Daniels as well attended. Now her I recognized right away on the school foto's though ours is written 1971 graduating class and I don't recognize a soul. Can you explain that to me?

Do you remember our black labrador wild dog? What about picking up a pizza at Mama Lucys, a ice cream cone at Baskins an Robbins, a falafal on the corner...

Bruce Finkelstein and his wife came also to visit me here as did Wendy. You're of course always welcome but I have to warn you this is not Miami beach. The North sea water is always freezing. This has to do with the fact that it never really gets hot here. We're content if it's sunny and the kids can play in the sand. Rarely you see anyone swimming in the ocean. It's also a boring seaside as there are no waves to ride. The only reason I'm there is because that's where I work. It's the only kosher hotel in Belgium and it happens to be on the seaside. We're even open in the winter because people over here think that's healthy to go to the seaside and freeze even though you can't play in the sand let alone go near the water. There's usually big sandstorms that keep you far from the deck.

OK, what's a captive dance recital?

My daughter may be moving to Tenafly from Crown Hts. this summer- how far is that from you?

All the best
Al

Dear Aliza

Isn't this a riot? I feel like going down the block this minute and seeing your father opening the door and making jokes. I remember that great birthday party he made for you. Weren't your parents Israeli? Anyways, you look terrific as does your daughters.

You might have heard I ended up in the Middle Ages- for some reason things have not advanced over here for about 500 years. If that doesn't bother you then Antwerp is not such a bad place. Of course I had no choice but to grow where I was planted and so I did. I'm married with 6 kids. Two are already married and my daughter just gave birth to a girl. My husband and I run a vacation center at the seaside. I've been back to our old neighborhood many times. Wendy and I have met on many occasions. Poor Joey I heard that he left this world very young. He came all the way to Belgium to visit me before he was sick. He never told me about his illness although we tried to stay in contact.

It seems you have lots of hobbies- these are the only ways I try to stay sane. I do aerobics a couple of times a week, bike,go to a professional cooking school where I'm almost sous-chef, took an intensive computer course just to name a few.

Thanks for staying in touch
Alice

I can't believe you work practically in my backyard! I live down 516 in Lakeridge. My daughter Bari is in 10th grade at OBHS and my son Charlie is in 7th grade at Sandburg. Both were in the Christmas Carol at Sayreville in December. Please let me know if you'd like to get together and catch up. My email address is kgpesq@aol.com. How old are your children?

Hi Aliza! How are you? We were in many classes together. We're practically neighbors -- I live in Old Bridge. Which high school do you work in? My kids do community theater -- Spotlight Players and Sayreville Main Street Theater. Glad to hear you are doing well! Karen Golubow Pollock

Hi Aliza,
How have you been? Do you remember me? It's been a long time. Do you still keep in touch with Wendy.
I also live in jersey. Point Pleasant to be exact. Good to see you joined the alumni. Mitch Fiedler
