In 1970, a fire engulfed the top floor of the school and the students actually did most of the cleaning up of soot. Literally, a bucket brigade of students. About ten years later the school was closed after a new school was built on Fulton & Schenck. PS 76 became a like crack house and eventually was demolished for the park. I lived on New Jersey Ave for a few years after 1966 and then moved around the corner on Atlantic Ave, one house in from New Jersey Ave. We used to play on the loading dock of the Post Office ENY Station 11207 and Samson always chased us out. Samson was the huge guy that used to roll out all the bins of garbage mail and also loaded all the trucks. I actually lived at 135 NJ Ave, 117 NJ Ave, 115 NJ Ave and 2673 Atlantic Ave. If you're looking for more info, I would be happy to help if I can jar my memory that far back. This sure has been a stroll down memory lane. Thanks I'm going to go thru this web site with a fine tooth comb. |

I even remember the custom metal doorknobs. I wonder where my friends are today. Jarrod Wright, Barry, Max Stith from 363 Barby (not sure of spelling)Street, Glenn. Teachers: Carol Haber, Leonard Gries, Mrs Herman and Avella. Good times. I even saw a picture with Tulay, who would come over my house and eat jelly sandwiches. Thanks for the trip. |

Sister Colotta passed away when I was in 5th grade, some say it was her class that killed her cause they were so bad . As for Miss Shade she retired I would say in 83 . She was there a very long time. She passed away not long after that. |
