Hi,

    Billy Grimmel
    Freddie Neun
    Karen Stephenson
    Gail Marcus
    Antsy Silverman
    I've not seen or communicated with any of them since 1965 or maybe even earlier since Billy and Freddie were a year ahead of my in school and I attended a different high school than Karen, Gail and Antsy.
    There was a neighborhood reunion held two weeks ago with most everyone having graduated high school between 1959 and 1962.
    I finished PS 99 in 1959, graduated from Russell Sage in 1962 and went on to The Bronx High School of Science My brother Jack was supposed to be there and couldn't make it. He graduated PS 99 in 1962 and Russell Sage in 1965 My brother Jonny was there and he did junior high and high school outside of Kew Gardens

I am looking for a lady named Ellen � in high school she was a cheerleader, and her nickname was Cookie. I ran into her a few years ago in Bayside and inadvertently she must have wrote the telephone number incorrectly on the paper. I can't stop thinking about her. I used to admire her at the park and when I saw her 4 years ago she was as cute and bubbly as she was back then. If anyone knows where I can find her � or if you read this Ellen � contact me.

I lived in Kew Gardens from 1959 to 1962. From 3rd through 6th grades, I attended PS117. I can't remember my exact address, but do remember my building was called the Pershing Crescent. I'm looking for a dear childhood friend by the name of Barbara Eisenberg. She had a younger sister named Rhonda (I think). I've always wanted to know how her life turned out and for some reason have thought of her and her family a lot lately. I was a bit of an outsider for most of my childhood and Barbara was a good friend. Her family always made me feel welcome and accepted. She couldn't always come out to play due to some kind of health issues and we often played in her home. I believe her mother was originally from Hungary, but definitely from Europe. My family was from France and I probably still had a slight accent when we originally met. I missed her after we moved to Manhattan and have thought of her often over the years. I would also love to know what became of Mrs. Wright my 6th grade teacher. I was in the first class she taught at PS 117. She was a wonderful teacher and I learned a lot from her. Today, I would probably be put on ritalin at a school's insistence. Back then, teachers considered me a problem student (although I got good grades). Mrs. Wright knew how to hold the students' interest and I learned a lot in her class. Mrs. Wright, if you ever read this, it wasn't until many years later that I realized the courage it took for you to walk across that school yard and collect your class on that first day.
