Pam, I'm awaiting confirmation to join the Yahoo groups...So I've been browsing the archives...I've seen so many names, and remember so many "Events"...what a great treasure! I tried to email you in return, but your email adress isn't posted correctly. I'm really interested in getting in touch with Jeff Freidman and Sidney Schipper and everyone who hung out on the bench and in the circle... The guys I played ball with; I saw an old post from Teddy and Johnny (The Aces) I played for the Sabers and would love to get in touch with our old coach/Manager Alan... Alan...I still have the game ball from our first money game; August 1967 - we won 8-4. I Also played football for Al...a really great guy. Dated Debbie Meyers; (She's The best!) OMG...ao many memories... Illene Schwartz - are you out there? Who remembers Mrs. Bronitsky Taking over for Mrs. Spitzer (6-2) Too much to write... I went to the reunion in 1998 - great event! Still want to close the loop with the above. Please write.

Steve, when I put this site up in 1998 --a decade ago-- people reacted with that "wow," "incredible." And they often did in 2000 and even sometimes 2001. In 2008, almost everyone who wants to know about this site already does, but still, every so often, someone like you comes upon this and still calls it incredible. It's easy to google any of our names at this point, and arrive at this site --and then through it, get to the live yahoo community. Thanks to the Internet, finding an old friend from ENY in general isn't that hard --although there are still a few missing. I think it would be worthwhile for someone to list them --even just putting their name up would bring them to this site if they googled themselves. Pam Weintraub

MY boss tried to find my phone number on the web, and found this site instead. UNBELIEVABLE. I'd love to hear from everyone at the circle... especially, Sidney Scheffer and Jeffrey Friedman. Graduated JHS166 1968, Stuy High 1971. Currenly married with two great boys, living the good life in Woodstock CT.

Just stopped by to say hello to old friends! Drop me an email if you remember me! I lived in a row house on Schenck between Wortman and Cozine... PS 273, JHS 166, Brooklyn Tech '72... :)

I lived at 12155 Flatlands avenue, went to P.S. 306 when it first opened, grduated Jr High 116 in 1971. Moved to long Island in 1972, been here ever since.Remember me?

We all have these dramatic, hard-luck, up-from-the-bootstrap stories. I mean WHY ELSE did we grow up in ENY if not for that hard luck? Pam

Hey Anon, Where did you live? I'm sure your name is not anon. I lived in E.N.Y. from about 1958 to 1971. There were great memories and super great friends. Sorry you moved as the area went down hill. Let us know who you are. Mike

We ended up in ENY in 1968 after my father took a "vacation" in Italy from which he had no intention of returning to the US. A nice way to unload a wife and family. We were left nearly broke. An old story. It was ENY or the gutter I guess. After that we somehow managed to buy a small 2-family house in Rosebank, Staten Island with cousins. A plain place but decent. I live in that house now and it's worth $425k. Go figure.

Hi fellow ENY'S, I lived on Williams and New Lots 1950-1962. Attended PS190,JHS166. Moved to Hendrix and Blake Attended ENY149,1962-1965. Played Baseball for the Carvel Bullets 1961-1963.Worked at Irvings Fruit Stand Near Sol's Ice- Cream Store 1961-1963. Played Baseball ENY League 1963-1965. Moved to Fort Lauderdale 1965. GROWING UP IN ENY WAS THE BEST EDUCATION ABOUT LIFE AND SURVIVING FOR ME. I AM HAPPILY MARRIED WITH FOUR GREAT CHILDREN.I HAVE BEEN A SCHOOL TEACHER AND REALTOR IN POMPANO BEACH FL FOR THIRTY FIVE YEARS. MY HIGH SCHOOL GRAD YEAR WAS 1968. HOPE TO GET A PARTY STARTED. LETS HAVE A REUNION.

anon --the bigger question may be not why you stayed until '74 but why you arrived in '69. What's with that?

Just looking for some old friends......hope to hear from them soon.

Hi, lived at 120 Schenck Ave just off New Lots from 1954-1961 or so. Found memories of the Park and Library on New Lots. Seems like they turned our row houses into a ENY farmers market. Neighbors & friends included the Bonora, Pinkus,King,Patsy's family,Cora & her twin sister, Nochum & Goldie, Matt the parkman.Sammy and his gang who use to beat us white kids up in the park, he wore saddle shoes, I remember seeing them in my face a few times. The Biltmore Theater and was the hobby shop close by with the great model airplane collection? Anyone remember Izzy and her little convenience store, we always told her we didnt have enough change to pay. There was Jacob's store on Hendrix. Anyone remember me or my family, let me know or just want to recall the old days in EYN - can't get that place off my mind. thanks

We moved there in the late 60s and moved out in 1974 after a nightmare year of break-ins and robberies. Cop told my mom we were crazy to stick around and he was right. When did you all move out. I guess I'm the exception here, not too many good memories regarding the projects. How was the place ledt to fall apart like it did I'll never understand.

I lived at 215 Wortman Ave. Went to P.S 213, P.S 306, J.H.S. 166, & graduated from Canarsie H.S. in 1973. Have many memories growing up there. Well wishes & peace to all!!!!

Just rediscovered this site and would love to hear from anyone who remembers me. So many memories!

wishing everyone a healthy happy Passover and happy Easter would love to hear from anyone that remembers me maiden name Kanofsky I have been in Az for over 30 years I have 3 grown sons and a great life here, Take care

Hi to all my ENY friends - just got back from a visit to the States (I live in Israel) and got to see my old buddies from 816 and 804 Ashford St. - Jerry Shulman, Neal Last and Mitch Bailin - all formerly of the Underground Marble band - they recently did a tape of their backyard reunion at which they played all the old tunes - really great - their band was competition for my band The Rubber Band with Richie Carbone and Hilton Heyliger (may he rest in peace) and Bernie Grobman - so good to see you Jerry, Neal and Mitch - we have to do it again !!! Regards, Eddie Langer

Wishing everyone a joyous holiday! Whatever you celebrate!

Hi: Just found this site on the internet. Brings back many memories, mostly good. I attended PS 213, JHS 166 and Jefferson HS. Many names here are familiar to me. Hope someone here remembers me. It's been a long time baby. I used to hang out in the "Circle" with the likes of Joey Politano, Richie Grossman, Marsha and Micheal Weiss and Janice Meisner, who I dated for many years. I think Joey and Richie were with me when we stole the big letter "S" off the East New York Y's building. After that it read Eat New York. We thought that was hilarious. Hope all this rings a bell with you guys. Also spent a lot of time in Metrics lunchonette under the el on Pennyslvania Ave and in the deli across the street from it. Feel free to contact me at any time, Thanks

Hi. Also would like to hear from anyone who remembers Ina Zane.

Was not from Linden Boulevard, but am a cousin to the Rifkinds (Jeff, Lori and Rosetta) and the Stellato's (Alan, Jared, Perry, Lance and Eileen) who lived on Riverdale and Bradford. I lived in Pink Houses and if anyone remembers either my cousins or myself, or hung out in Pink Houses and want to get in touch with someone from Pinks, I own/moderate a group similar to this one for Pink Houses and surrounding area people. Hope the Holidays were great to everyone.
