My best friend was Ellen Burke. I lived at 30-82 Fulton Street--the corner of Higland Place. I remember Lorenzo's restaurant--Wolfie's Barber Shop, Cordes Ice Cream Parlor, Hale Bowling Alley, Blessed Sacrament, Saint Rita's, The Friday night dances at Saint Michaels, The Chinese Restasurant down by Blessed Sacrament, where we would have lunch for 25cents!! I met my husband at Cordes Ice Cream Parlor--Peter Romano--we are since divorced--but have 3 amazing children and we both have gone on to have good lives and are still friends. My first boyfriend was Harold Grogan--he lived on Logan Street--for years I have alwyas wanted to know how his life turned out--he was a wonderful kid with a hard life--actually was shot in a supposed robbery at an empty car parts lot--always said he was innocent!! My brothers were Harold (Skip ) Michael, Patrick and sister Elizabeth ( Betty Ann ). I look back on those days and can not really believe the innocence of the whole thing! We grew up in a strict Irish Catholic Home --does anyone remeber Sister Jarloth the 8th grade nun who was an aboslute "demon"--the first nun my mother ever sided with me against!! I could go on and on--would love to hear from anyone who knew me. |

He said he remembers your uncle also. He said he was the president of the team!and lived in HOward beach?? I sometimes dont know if my father remembers well, because he has Parkinsons. How old are you? what year did you graduate. I remember some sons bowling with their father. So that means you might be a few years older than I am. Wasnt that great times? My father has gotten so many trophies that we were going to build another room for them!! WHAT about the dinner dances..I remember that was the only time my parents got to go out without the children. |

The new business was opened up while Willie was living and continued after his passing .Willies Ice was doing very well. The only reason it was terminated was because of the area change in. also, you said your fathers shop? My father used to work across from Willie and Barney, but on the same side, next to the toy factory that burnt down! |
