Who was Caesar? i think most of the guys were just interested in the scene where they murder Caesar... Everyone from St. Rita Class of 1969 - since Steve T, Roseanne C, and Frank P are missing from the one I sent in, there has to be a picture of the "other" 8th grade out there somewhere. I can't be the only one whose mother kept all that stuff! |

I could be mistaken. Will check with my parents!! Geraldine, the two brothers who owned the fruit store, we called them little Johnny and I think the tall one was names Ralph(will have to check that out also.. |

The only reason why I am asking cause there is a store near my house, that has everything, and the first time I walked in it, I felt like I was in Sids. I still tell my family about it.. |
