I have pictures of Diane and Kevin, myself and I think my sister sitting on a snow bank after a blizzard in the early 60's. I used to play with Diane. I believe Kevin was killed in '72, struck by a train at either Beach Channel or Howard Beach A train. I saw him laid out at Donnelly and Purcell on Fulton and Crescent. I was a Sr. at Lane and one of the guys in my physics cla** told us how his brother fixed him up (I guess he was a mortician) for viewing (open casket!!). The family was terribly dysfunctional and I believe drugs played a role in Kevin's demise. |

I always believed that i turned out o.k Glad you liked my stories. By the way we never really shaved all the hair off anyones heads. It was more like cutting small locks of hair off, so you then had to get your hair shaved. It was o.k. with most off the guys,especially in the summertime. However it did not go to well with our parents ![]() along shortley. Ciao for now |

Now I'm beginning to understand why I don't remember the people that post to this board, the people I hung out with are no longer here. I recognize alot of your references of the old neighborhood, but I don't see any of the people I hung with on the board. (Or the people I remember don't respond to my emails, this refers to you Joey). I'm 56, so I'm about 5 years older than you, therefore we probably ran in different circles. I knew people from Fulton, Autumn & Ridgewood, and Nichols and Etna. Any info is welcomed. Thanks again. |
