I BELIEVE WE GRADUATED TOGETHER FROM ST. RITA. I GRADUATED IN 1957. PAULA CASILLO,JOANNE DRAGHI, PEGEEN FLEMING, BETTYJANE KELLY,MARY DONLON,KATHY ANNUNZIATTA,DELAPPE TWINS,FRANK ABBRACCIAMENTO,PAUL ANSALDE,DIANE HARRIS,DORIS FINKIN,CARMINE YEVOLI,FRANK DEBLASE,JOEL PALLAZOLLA, FRANK MENDOLA,EDDIE SILEO,ERNIE ROSSIELLO,WILLIAM CODELLI, ARE A FEW OF THE NAMES I REMEMBER OFF THE TOP. I DO REMEMBER FROSTEDS. ALTHOUGH I HAD THEM AT CORDES ICE CREAM PARLOR ON FULTON AND BERRIMAN, MAY HAVE BEEN THE LOCATION. THE YEAR I GRADUATED THE BOYS AND GIRLS WERE SEPERATED. THEY HAD TWO EIGHT GRADE CLASSES. I REMEMBER MY 7TH GRADE TEACHER WAS SISTER BEATA. PHYLLIS, IF YOU DID GRADUATE WITH THIS CLASS I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU AND KNOW IF YOU STILL HAVE CONTACT WITH ANYONE ELSE. |

FRANCES IS MY MOTHER IN LAW. I WAS MARRIED TO JOHN, HER ELDEST SON. THE RESTAURANT WAS ON THE CORNER OF LIBERTY AND BERRIMAN. IT IS LILLIAN AND CHARLIE PALMA I WAS SPEAKING OF. I CLEARLY REMEMBER THEM WELL. I RECALL CHARLIE WORKED IN TV OR BROADCASTING OR SOMETHING RELATED. THEY HAD ONE CHILD I THINK? OF COURSE I DO KNOW NANCYANN,HER SISTERS ANITA AND GINGER AND THEIR BROTHER TOMMY WHO PASSED AWAY AT AN EARLY AGE. AS KIDS WE OFTEN PLAYED POINTS OF THE STEPS AT NANCYANNS HOUSE.THAT WAS WITH THE GIRLS OF COURSE.I LOST TOUCH WITH MANY OF THE PEOPLE AFTER MOVING TO JERSEY. I AM SURE THERE ARE MANY MORE PEOPLE WE KNOW IN COMMON. MY MAIDEN NAME WAS CAPPADORA. WE LIVED ON LINWOOD ST. ONE HOUSE AWAY FROM THE SPERANDEO BROS. VETRANS CLUB.IT WAS THE TUDOR WITH THE BLACK PICKET FENCE. THERE WERE ALWAYS FLOWERS IN BLOOM. IT HAD THE BIGGEST FIG TREE ON THE BLOCK. THE ONLY TIME WE SEEM TO SEE SOME OF THE PEOPLE FROM THE OLD NEIGHBORHOOD IS AT A WAKE. I SAW NANYANN AND HER FAMILY WHEN HER AUNT MARY MARCHETTI PASSED AWAY. I KNEW ANDRE MARCHETTI AND HIS WIFE CAROL. CAROLS MAIDEN NAME IS JOYA. LOOK FORWARD TO ANY UPDATE ON THE PALMA FAMILY. GIVE MY BEST TO WHO MAY REMEMBER MY PARENTS, BILL AND JOSIE CAPPADORA. MY MOM WAS CALLED "BABE" |

How many "chicken markets" were there in the neighborhood, and where were they?

Would that be Lillian and Charlie Palma ? If so Charlie is my Cousin. Before he married Lillian he lived on Cleveland St. Between Glenmore and Pitkin. Those were great times. Are you related to the Abbracciamento,s who owned the Restuarant on Liberty Ave. or was it Glenmore Ave. Liberty Park was my seconed home, back in the 50,s |

A CHANCE CONVERSATION HAPPENED THIS PAST WEEK WITH A COUSIN OF YOURS. FRED K. HE IS A REALTOR IN THE HOWARD BEACH AREA. I WAS REFERRING A CLIENT TO HIM AND WHEN HE HEARD MY NAME IT WAS ALL HOME WEEK IN JUST ONE SECOND. HE TOLD ME YOUR MOM HAD AN ACCIDENT AND WAS DOING WELL AND OF COURSE IS AS BEAUTIFUL AS I REMEMBER HER. I WANT TO GET TOGETHER WITH YOU IT HAS BEEN SO LONG AND WE SHARE MANY MEMORIES. |

Reading all the names bring back the warmest of memories for all of us who lived there at a great time. I still can see the girls in front of Lillian and Charlies house playing BOYS AND GIRLS and potsie as well. It was the same group most of the time, Kathy Noto, Claire Grasso, You and myself. We spent many a summer day rolling that ball or pitching a key chain onto a potsie court we had drawn with chalk. They were the best days, innocent and having fun. Have you ever been in touch with Claire. I often wonder where she is. I can still see the tropical fish tank that was always so crystal clear in her living room. |

Spelling out "K-i-n-g-s" meant you were knocked out and faced "booties". "Elevators" was also known as "skyscrapers" and was a strategy of bouncing the ball high parallel to the wall. 'babies' was an alternate technique, played close and low to the wall. "Hindu", of course, was the called do-over when the ball struck something on the wall or the ground. Let's test those punchball and touch football fans- who recalls the terms 'no CBO' and 'no angeling'? |
| Date: Wed 08/29/07 4:03PM From: Tony Davenport Email: Tonyd24@yahoo.com Message: Al: I don't know that one but it reminded me that when we played "Ace, King, Queen" also known as Chinese handball, the loser faced "Booties" which meant you bent over against the wall and all the players got to try and hit you in the booty with the ball. I wasn't real good at Ace ing Queen so I hated Booties. |
