Hi Howie,

Good to hear from you. My inlaws came in from Florida and I was relegated to do many chores - could not attend reunion.

I met Mish in Hillcrest and have been with her from that moment onward. I still see AB (Arnold Blenner) & James Murray who grew up down the block from me. We have gracefully (LOL) aged with wives and children - we had our little reunion Memorial Day weekend at my house - golf and BBQ.

It was good to hear from you - keep in touch - off to work now.

Best regards

Robert

Hi there. Thanks for the message.

Let's see. I grew up on 141st street and 71st road, down the block where Shimon's pizza place probably still is. Oh, and the same block as the Hoberman's lived. Did you have one of the 3 in your class? I went to Campbell's and then off to high school in Manhattan. Finally left home to live in Jersey for college. After college I mostly lived in different areas of Queens, a year in Harlem. Currently I'm in East Elmhurst.

I did enjoy the reunion. It was fun to just spontaneously remember stuff. And then I was amazed at some of the things that others remembered.

So, it sounds like you are still in contact with some people from those days. I envy that. But it was very nice to reconnect with people during and prior to the reunion, and also to hear about how other that didn't attend were doing.

Off to finish the laundry.

Talk to you soon.

Nice to hear from you. All is well and will be coming to the reunion with my wife Cheryl, Jackie and my Aunt Elise who was in the class of 61. I'm also bringing Mitch Schorr. Don't know how much you remember about him but he was sort of a playground legend at Vleigh Place, 164 and Park Drive East. He hasn't been doing well and this will lift his spirits.

Look forward to seeing you then.

Harvey

Hi Howard, Great to hear from you. This site really brings back the memories.
I wish I could be at that reunion, but I have a busy work schedule in June.
S.F. is beautiful! Any signs of spring where you are yet?
Neil is still in touch with Rob who lives in Florida with wife and kids.
All the Best,
Liz

Yo Howie,
How are you? I am so happy you are coming to the reunion! How is your mom and brother? Send them my best. It is great your mom still lives in Queens, I wish my mom lived closer but she moved to Florida (Rhoda in Sarasota) and Harvey moved with his family to Bucks County PA. I see that you went to Ohio State, next time OSU plays Michigan we can make a fun bet. Shoot me a note and let me know how you are. Looking forward to seeing you in June. :-) Jackie

Jerry is good he had my niece Rachel who is attending Columbia. Jerry left NYC and moved to Maryland after Queens. My parents are not in the best of shape. Age has certainly caught upto them. As of now I just have to get my act together and send in a check for the reunion. I have not focused on the date because my daughter is getting Bat Mitvahed next week and things are a bit hectic. Funny thing is I recently looked at my Bar Mitvah pictures and there you were. Always laughing. Talk to you soon.

Hi Howard, we lived on 73rd Terrace, right around the corner from Vleigh Place. We moved to Douglaston in 1975 and many other places since. Unfortunately my brother passed away a little over three years ago. I remember him mentioning your name and Johnny Cosachov's, when we would talk about that neighborhood. He had some really great memories about playing in little league and playing with friends. Did you play in little league with him?

Hi Howard, I'm Jeff Gerson's sister. Do you remember him or my sister Shari?

Hi Howard. I have to admit playing baseball and football in your court was the best time as a kid. I remember playing tackel football without shoulder pads and only helmets. Crazy. Lots of good memories. Your mom was the best when it came to your friends. Glad to see you are doing well. I run into Alan Resnick once in a while and Ron Luft, but that is pretty much it from the old neighborhood. Talk to you soon.
