Gary Friedman's Page

Hi Gary, you have a great memory, because I don't remember that! My husband and I lived in Holland Park, in London, from 1990-1992. I was an interior designer for Swanke, Hayden, Connell Architects, and he was a foreign exchange trader for Bank of America. We did move at the same time as you, (not easy transitioning in the middle of 7th grade!). The name of our restaurant is "Levy's Kosher Italian Cuisine". We've been in business for about (8) years (a lot of hard work!). How are you and your brother doing? I tried to get in touch with him on this site. Can you ask him if he could drop me a line? It's been a blast connecting to people I haven't seen in (38) years!
Regards,
Debbie/Debra

Hi Gary, I was in your brother's class. Do you remember my sister Shari?

Hey Gary, that's so great, Steven Sprung, not many people can say they live near a person they went to grade school with. I moved to Chicago in 1999 to pursue a Master's in Public Health. I've done a lot of work administering programs to help kids in less fortunate communities.

I got married a couple of years ago to a wonderful lady from Teaneck, NJ of all places, it took me moving to Chicago from the Bay Area to find my wife from NJ! What's more interesting is that Teaneck is five minutes away from where alot of my first cousins live in Tenafly, NJ. Very weird...

Anyway, Spies, unbelievable, is there anyway to tranpose that into a streaming video file, I would love to show it to my wife, it would be hilarious. My brother Dan is reconnecting with alot of people from his childhood and I think he is going to go to the PS164 Reunion. Let's swap contact info:

yes. the full name of the school at the time was John L. Miller GNN Senior HIgh with Elliot Noyes principal and Mortimor Abramowitz superintendant. where did you live?

hi. you're younger than me but we made the same move: Kew Garden Hills to Great Neck (1965: Harbor Hills then Kings Point).

Hey Gary,

What's going on? Amazing to reconnect on a site like this? We look like we had the same fashion sense in our kindergarten picture, very funny! I am married and now live in Chicago, IL. I left the Bay Area when I got into grad school in Chicago where I obtained a Master's in Public Health.

Hope to post some pictures soon. Let's keep in touch. Michael

what a great age!!! definitely put some pictures up!

Oh good memory... i think that was in 5th grade. Please send Marc my regards and tell him I look forward to reconnecting. How old is your daughter?

Ha ha, thanks for the compliment, i think the cat was one of my mother's more creative costumes..... How is Mark doing? We used to walk home from school together. please tell him I say hi, better yet pass the website link on to him!
