The on Fulton off Crescent on the North side was Hamburg Car Service. I worked there on weekends for extra money driving my own car as it was a private cab service. The owners name was Sal and I grew up with his brother Joey. They lived on Liberty Ave between Berriman and Atkins on the North side where those Garden Apt. style houses were. Any memorories of these things ???? JIM MINER |

My sister Joann in 1963 and my brother Mike in '68/'69 I believe. He was in school around the time Tony Iadanza (Danza)was at BSS. Joann and I had some of the same nuns and lay teachers you have mentioned. In 1A I also had Joe Torre's (NY Yankees) kid sister, a very pretty lay teacher, as my instructor, she wasn't at the school very long. Joe's older sister is a nun, St. Maugarite, I believe that is/was the prinipal at Nativity. Everyone is spot on about the BSS Fr. Krieg and I did hear that the St. Mike's Fr. Krieg was the complete opposite before he was murdered in the church by thieves who stole chalises and other expensive church and religious articles. 2 detectives worked on their own time and eventually cuaght the guys who murdered him. We lived on Autumn between Atlantic and Fulton and during my years at St. John's Prep worked for Mike Long in his Ice Cream Parlor near Crescent and Fulton. It was a great neighborhood. |

I wore one of those big hoop dresses and my mother fixed my hair in banana curls. I think I got yelled at for kissing a boy in the coat room in first grade. I had great memories of Blessed Sacrament. I had a crush on Father Flanagan (he was so cute) and I remember visiting the convent with Sister Martinella. That's when I wanted to be a nun. They took us to Brentwood, L.I. to the St. Joseph order and how they lived. Well I'm not a nun now especially after leaving St. Michael's Commercial in 10th grade and going to East Islip H.S. after moving to L.I. Keep those memories coming! |

The principal moved down to the nurses office after they got rid of her, which was on the other end of the hall. Im sure the pricipal was happy because that room had its private bathroom .It wasn't until I think 1993 or 4 that they updated and got rid of that michine. It is now in the Hall of fame. Keep your stories cpoming I love them ..... so funny |

Miss Broderick still enters my consciousness most days of my life. i recently showed my kids the rock from the parthenon that she gave me after i announced that i wanted to be an archeaologist. (insurance, i guess that's close.) Fiddler on the Roof - had to be 1972 - what a great time - mrs. ross, miss broderick and the young good looking teacher who played the piano. Sr. Maureen had a particular habit (not gown) that we all made fun of that i will not mention now. more to come later. |
