Lots of fights. Lots of drugs, especially pot and acid. PS38on 241 st, St Pius, St Clare's, the other elementary school down past 147 ave were all white so when we advanced up to Jr High and HS we were in culture shock.

You sure are right. Graduated in 75 from SG. Involved in many fights.

Got married, took an apartment on Craft Ave 2 years then bought a house on LI. Fun to hear about some of the old places we use to hang out at. Those were fun carefree times.

Definitely remember Any, he was the quiet one of the family.

I was teary eyed reading your post. I worked with your grandfather and dad through my HS days. I hope you tell him how much I miss you all.
I worked with Tom and Danny and Grandpa and Dad.
They are the BEST. I THINK OF THEM OFTEN
