Graduates From Rockaway In 1964

I am enclosing a picture of my closest friends the day of my sweet sixteen party in May, 1960.  Hope you can put this on the website.  So far, only two of us are missing.  From me & one friend, we managed to contact four other friends we had lost touch with.  Hope you enjoy looking at our dresses & hairstyles.  What a hoot.  Thank you!

Gary Bart, Class of 1964, joins us from Beverly Hills, California and writes the following.

Dear Skip,

Just discovered your web site.  AWESOME DUDE!   I am living in LA as a Film Producer.  Check me out at IMDB.com.  Any reunions coming up?  What ever happened to Barry Geller, Steven & Bruce Levine, Peter Janofsky, Neil Abromowitz, Warren Weinstein, Michael Resnick, Bennett Hirsch, Barbara Love and Debbie May, Mary Testa, P.S. 114, JRHS 180 (we were first class to attend the new school), the members of Mr. Ruff's Band, the cast of CAROUSEL, Let me know if you know.

I can identify the photo of the FRHS band (photo on the 1962 page) as the following:
Peter Janofsky (with glasses behind Ruf) He and I were on the NY AL City Band ('63) I played the Tuba. (That's me under the large bell of the Sousaphone -out of range of the photo I'm afraid. I had a tuba solo at our graduation, Waltz for Mippy III (in memory of his basset hound) written by Leonard Bernstein (don't ask me to play it for you). 
 

That's Jessica Holland seated in the first chair on the left in the first row. She was a real brain. Unfortunately, she was killed riding a bike in France the week before our 20th reunion. :(

Didn't the Tower of Pizza sell Italian Ices? I loved the one with choc chips...yum!  Was the third theater in FR the RIALTO? (Pix, Strand)

My dad was Jan Bart, Jewish entertainer, had his own radio & TV show in NY. We lived on B130 St, 3 doors from the bay. Anybody remember Marv Alpert doing the play-by-play for FRHS football games?  I was in the very first class of JHS 180 from PS 114. As I remember we didn't have a cap & gown but we did have a ceremony. My parents (Jan Bart & Lillian Bart) sang at it.  It's a shame some of the email address on your site no longer exist like Steve Beck ('64) and Judy Cooper (64).  Keep up the good work.

Thanks for keeping the flame burning.    Best regards,

Gary Bart

Ricki Wasilewski (Moss), Class of 1964, joins us and writes the following:

 Skip,

 Thanks for this site!! I'm glad I discovered it. I'm from the Class of '64. My name then was Ricki Wasilewski. I was a member of the '63-'64 Majorette squad. Our senior trip was the 1964 World's Fair, and we also took a boat ride to Rye Beach. A lot of us used to hang out at the Beach House on Friday nights too. I had a lot of great times there. I'd love to hear from anybody who remembers me. I missed the '94 reunion. When and where is the next one? I don't want to miss it. I wear several different hats: I'm married and have a 9-year old son. Yes, I'm an older mom. I'm an amateur photographer (have exhibited, taught and sold fine art, nature, and landscape photography); I do desktop publishing; teach computers to older adults; and my husband and I design and manage websites. Are there any Macintosh people out there? Again, thanks for this website. It brings back so many good memories.

Nathan Nat' Rothenberg, Class of 1963, joins us from Winter Springs, Florida and writes the following.

Hi Skip,

 I'm looking for a former FRHS graduate class of 64. Her maiden name was Fran Fishman and she lived on Beach Channel Drive near Peninsula General Hospital. I need to find her and I have been searching since I returned from Viet Nam in 1968. If anyone out there knows her or any way I can contact her, please contact me at my e-mail address which is Pgmasirnat@aol.com. Thank you and have a happy 1999.

If you have any information on the whereabouts of Fran Fishman, please contact Nathan. He can be reached at Pgmasirnat@aol.com

Marc Briller, Class of 1964, joins us and writes the following.

Hi Skip,

Thanks for your efforts in establishing and maintaining the wonderful Far Rockaway web-site. I've spent many joyous hours browsing the site. I've been trying to learn whether the class of 64 will be having a 35th reunion this year. 35 years is certainly worthy of a special reunion event but can't seem to find any information on possible planned event. Please notify me if you have any knowledge of such a reunion.  Peace and Light  to all.

If you have any information about a 35th reunion for the Class of 1964, Mark can be reached at MIBRIL@aol.com

Sorry to report the passing of Ron Resnick on October 2, 2010.

Ron Resnick, Class of 1964, joins us from Nelson, New Zealand and writes the following.

Hey everybody...take a look at my website for funny, rude, insightful and eccentric images from New Zealand: www.badbadges.co.nz - see what graduates can get up to when they relocate down-under AND remember: Only YOU can prevent narcissism.

 Emigrated to Australia in 1968 and have settled in New Zealand since 1990. Any Rockaway people heading to the glorious South Island of NZ can check with me about travel advise and possible hospitality from me...if you bring real bagels. The lox is great here but what do you put it on?

Kyna Miller, Class of 1964, joins us and writes the following.

Hi Skip,

 I have thoroughly enjoyed the website and have literally spent hours browsing through names and reunion talk. The memories..things I hadn't thought about in years all came flooding back. Thank you. This has been one of my most enjoyable experiences on the net thus far. I'm sorry that I wasn't able to attend the 100th reunion, but I did attend one here in South Florida in 1994. That was fun but there really weren't too many alumni from my graduating class of 1964. I will be better able to keep up with all that is happening to FRHS alumni now thanks to your great efforts.  I am now living in Clearwater, FL. I am single, have three sons and am a grandmother of two (it just blows me away). I work as an educational consultant for a software company, where I show teachers how to use technology in their classroom. I hung out at Gino's Pizza and the State Diner. (also Ellies at lunch time) Would love to be in touch with anyone who remembers me.

Paula Friedman (now Rum) Class of 1964, joins us and writes the following.

Hi, my name is Paula Friedman. I graduated in 1964 and hung out with Cookie (Heather) Schein, Barbara Richman, Ronnie Kaminsky (1965), Alice Siegel, Melody Goldman (1965), Fran Geiser, Eileen Tarnipolsky, Rose Lakritz and many others. I'd like to know if anyone knows where Alice Siegel, Melody Goldman or Rose Lakritz are? I'm in touch with Cookie, Barbara, Ronnie, Fran and Eileen. I also used to hang out with David Rossman, Steve Baron and their friends on Beach 59th Street. If anyone knows where they are, please let me know.

Paula can be reached at Ptenbowl@aol.com

Bruce Bernfeld, "honorary" graduate of FRHS class of 1964, joins us from Belle Harbor, New York and writes the following.

Dear Skip, I was yahoo'ing and found your web site. It is fantastic. You have done a masterful job. Thank you for rekindling very fond memories. I consider myself an "honorary" graduate of FRHS, class of 1964. I actually graduated HILI 64 (on seagirt Blvd). However, most of my closest friends were from FRHS. In fact, my oldest and dearest friend is Bill Calder, FRHS 63. Does anyone remember Bill and his twin sister Elaine?

My closest friends were Sol Miskin, Billy Shapiro, Laraine Fenster, Bonnie Greene, Susan Schwarzschild, Bill C. and my former wife, Marsha Fell. In fact, Marsha was the editor of the Dolphin and when someone didn't turn in their graduation photo, I came to the rescue with mine. It had to be placed in the open spot, so a name was invented for me. You can see me in The 1964 Dolphin over the name, Leonardo Shabselic. I would like to attend the 100th wearing that name on my lapel and see if anyone "remembers" old Leonardo? HA!

I do vividly recall summers in Belle Harbor, (where I currently reside again after a decade or so away from "the Beach") hanging out on the boardwalk and B122nd Street. The Penny Arcade and soda fountain on B.116th street. The 3 movies in Far Rock and one in Rockaway to choose from. Riding the Green Bus over bumpy roads back and forth for years between Far Rock and Belle Harbor. Rushing to make the last bus (12:40AM) back home after a date in Far Rokaway (Usually a movie at the Pix, Strand or ??? and a hamburger and fries at a great place in town (can't remeber the name)! Football games in autumn and the great fun and camaraderie. Watching Steve Issacs play for the Dolphins. Jack Kershman on the sidelines. The band being led by Mr. Ruff.

I would love to share memories with anyone out there whose memories I might have sparked. I am looking forward to September and am glad Rockaway and B.116th can "host' some of the festivities.

Again, Skip, your Web site is superb. It has become a favorite place of mine. Thanks again.

Bruce can be reached at bbernfeld@aol.com

Thanks Bruce for writing and for your comments about the web site. I can't believe you remembered what time the last bus left town for Belle Harbor. I use to work across the street from the bus stop at the Tower of Pizza. We would get lots of hungry people who would run across the street for a slice before the bus came. How about a few photos?

Steve Beck, Class of 1964, joins us and writes the following.

Very sorry to see that the class of 1964 is not responding to the call. It was a good class and more should be done to get these 50 year old graduates awakened!

Some of these classmates were: Sam Storch, Gary Bart, Stephen Leibowitz, George Goodman, Sheryll Bernstein, Steve Charno, Paula Hashmall, Paula Janofsky, Steve Rosenberg, Carol Schack, Vivian Lazeroff, Steve Pendroff.

Maybe a lost and found section of the web site should be formed! Again thanks for this wonderful site.

Steve can be reached at carprof101@aol.com

Thanks Steve for writing. I do have a "Lost Classmates" section on the web site. You might check in to see if you can find any of your friends.

Judy Cooper (Macken ), Class of 1964, joins us and writes the following.

Hi Skip

I graduated FRHS in 1964. I would love to hear from anyone from that year especially kids from Belle Harbor. I am Judy Macken (nee Cooper). My siblings are Michael, (twin) Rebecka (1962) and Gale (1959). Please if anyone is on this internet program and remembers me, let's write.  Thinking of High School and the wonderful days in Rockaway bring back fond memories. I am lucky to have have found other alumni and we have become quite friendly. Nothing like folks from "home." Keep in touch especially if you live in South Florida. Would love to renew old friendships.  Thanks and best to everyone.  Would love to get reacquainted with friends from home.  I would enjoy hearing from the girls of Belle Harbor.  Thanks for your wonderful efforts.

Michael Cooper, Class of 1964, joins us from Stamford, CT and writes the following.

Dear Skip,

I would like to thank you for the great job you and your cohorts have done with this page. I was told of the web site and thought I would stop by for a couple of minutes. That was two hours ago.

I've already e-mailed a couple of classmates from 1964. I took out my yearbook to refresh myself, and the memories came rushing back. I and my twin sister Judy are on page 63.

I'm living in Stamford, CT. with my wife and two teenage children. I grew up on 134th Street, and still own the house I grew up in. We are in the Rockaways a lot, during the summer to go to the beach. Whenever we go thru Far Rockaway, I point the school out to the kids, and the places I used to play hooky at. I remember Central Ave with the movies, the deli, the Tower of Pizza. My has it changed.

Looking forward to renewing old acquaintances at the reunion. Other members of the class of 64 living in Stamford are Hedy Cooperman and Judy Zolondick.

Again, thanks for your efforts.

Michael can be reached at Mc21047@aol.com

Thanks Michael for writing. I'm glad to hear that you got "hooked" on the web site. This site is a collaboration of all the wonderful grads who have contributed the great images and stories. I hope it continues well beyond the reunion. Hope to see you there. If you can photo copy your grad photo and mail it to me, I would be happy to post it. My mailing address is on the home page. Better yet, if you can scan it into your computer, e-mail it to me as an attachment. .gif and .jpg images work best. Thanks.

I just found this site and it's awesome!!!! I didn't graduate from FRHS, but I did go to P.S. 114 and I was in the 2nd class to grad from Jr. High School#180.  Beach 138th was my home. I lived on the same street as Jane Roseberg, Sandy Meyersfield, Sherry Janowitz and hung out with Randy Meadoff, Eddie Marks, Marilyn Katz,  Barbara Love, Shelly Unger and so many great people. Was the best time of my life...ALMOST...Anyone remember me????

I knew this website was out there, but until today I could not find it. Reading some of the links has really brought back long forgotten memories.  I remember Edgemere very well.  Temple Sharre Zedak was located on 36th or 37th street.  Most of us who lived in Edgemere attended Talmud Torah at this temple even though most of our families were not really religious.  Does anyone remember attending the early grades at PS 106 in the wooden school house?  I remember on more than one occasion when we had to be taken home in row boats because of a storm and the bay and ocean meeting flooded all the streets.  Also during the summer our favorite name for those who invaded our turf was 'Bungalow Bunnies"  Growing up in Edgemere was like growing up in a small town.  I attended the first reunion in 1984 for the class of 64 but since then I have not been able to go to any of the reunions.  Just to say a few things about what has happened to me since graduation.  I met my husband Howie the summer of 64 he was from Brooklyn.  We were married in 1969 right after he returned from Viet Nam. We moved to the Coney Island-Brighton Beach section of Brooklyn in 1972 where we raised of 3 children now all grown up 30, 29 and 26.  Went back to school in 1983 and got my BA in Sociology. Graduated Phi Beta Kappa.  That would sure surprise some teachers from the Rock.  In 1994 my husband became another casualty of the Viet Nam War.  He died from exposure to Agent Orange.  I have really not kept in touch with too many people.  The only person I do see is my best friend Audrey Simon and she lives all the way out in Las Vegas.  Would really like to hear from anyone at the Rock.

Rockaway!  Lea's brother Judd is in West Hartford, Conn. and Marshall's Sister Ruth is in Marblehead, Mass, his brother Phil lives in Mount Sinai, Long Island, and his brother Ronald lives outside Seattle, Wash.  All attended Far Rockaway High School, as did Lea's mother, Fay Fink Fink.  Marshall still runs into strangers who say, "Are you related to Mr. Seiden?"  The answer, of course, is yes.  He retired in 1971 after forty years at FRHS and passed away several years ago. If anyone visits the Gulf coast of Florida, please look us up.

Dear Alan, Thanks for your immediate reply, its truly a trip to read about all the people I used to see and know at FRHS.  It brings back wonderful memories of my childhood in a place that I loved dearly.  And how those memories stay with you forever--the boardwalk i.e. tuckee cup, skeet-ball, fireworks, and not to be forgotten Friday nites at the diner, Saturday Football games, Ellies' luncheonette.. I could go on and on ......Life was good then and my life continues to be blessed.  I have three wonderful children, two are married, a funny, happy delicious granddaughter and a grandson on the way!!!!!!  The last time I visited Far Rockaway (which was in Sept.2001) I couldn't believe my eyes!!!!!!  It's so sad to see whats happened to a beautiful beach community.  But with every corner I turned I still looked into the eyes  of people hoping to see a familiar face.  And now I've located your website.  How GREAT.  Keep in touch....

What a wonderful site this is! Thanks for the memories. I grew up in Arverne, Beach 67th street. After HS I worked in the city for a few years then married. We have one son and 3 grandsons now. When I returned to the workforce I worked on LI for a manufacturer and was the Personal Assistant to the owner. When we retired we left LI for the sunny south and now live in the Atlanta area where the sun shines all winter long. I was sort of a loner in HS and don't expect many to remember me, but if you do and want to drop me a line please do.

It was wonderful to find this website.  My sister gave me the web address, class of '68.  Having attended Cardozo JHS and Far Rockaway High School has left me with many wonderful memories growing up in Far Rockaway.  I still remember the many summers on the beach and the boardwalk, watching my friends Gary Amster, Clyde and Mark Herkowitz and Howie Weissman singing on the boardwalk.  I was always jealous because I could not hold a note. I look forward to reestablishing contact with the many friends and classmates that I had during my childhood years.

Hi I wanted to send you my current address so that you can post it on your board along with my picture. I will tell you a little about myself and you can post that too. I live with my husband in Port Washington, N.Y. We have two sons. One is finishing his last year in college, the other lives in Manhattan and is a lawyer like his dad. I have a psychotherapy practice in my home which I have had for 16 years. Before that I taught elementary school on the lower east side of Manhattan. As others have written, i too have the fondest of memories of growing up in Far Rockaway. It is sad to see the ruination of such a wonderful community.

My good friend Larry Frankel referred me to the Far Rock site. It's been on my favorites list for months but I've been too busy with life to check it out. What a great site. It's one of the better websites out there. Skip and Carol, Your site is great. As a result of the site I have heard from several '64 grads who I had not communicated with in decades. There is one request that I would like to make. Please, please remove the photo you have next to my name. IT'S NOT ME.  It's amazing that I still get upset when reminded that someone else's photo was placed with my name in my yearbook. There's and interesting story associated with that photo that goes back to when I was on the Far Rock rifle team. One day, out of the blue, Coach Kelly told me I was off the team. The reason: someone other than me had done something dishonest; can't remember what the offense even was after all these years. But the person who he was getting me confused with is the same grad whose photo is forever associated with my name. So even now in 2005 I'm haunted by the same individual who almost had me thrown off my team. So please remove the photo. By the way, I'd like to know who that other guy is if possible and whether he's a lawyer or doing time in some slammer.  Feel free to post this if you wish.  Thanks and keep up the good work. I'll try to get you a recent photo.

Thanks to Marty Nislick for providing photos of 'the real' Ed Krakovsky.

Kramer, Judy (Schultheis) -  j_schultheis@hotmail.com  - Mangonia Park, FL
Hello everyone, I have found this web site from my school 2 weeks ago, so I am so excited.  My maiden name is Kramer, if anyone remembers me please answer me.  My e-mail address is j_schultheis@hotmail.com. I loved looking at all the pictures, and sat at this computer and cried. Hi Skip, Let me introduce myself, my name is Judy Schultheis, I am a graduate of Far Rockaway High of year 1964.  I have been e-mailing Carol all day today, and have set up a memorial for my brothers, Barry Michael Kramer, and Alvin Franklin Kramer. Both are gone, I am the last sibling in the family alive, and I ain't gone no ware. Anyway as I told Carol I found this site about a week ago or so and there hasn't been a day I haven't been on it.  The first day I saw Central Ave. I cried.  I think I e-mailed you, but I haven't heard from you yet. I was asking about seeing the people on a field, and wondering if that gate was the gate of Far Rockaway High School?  Anyway I don't have my own computer yet, I go to the public library and use these, there is a time limit of 30 minutes. So I do my best to get done what I can.  But I did want to tell you that the sight is marvelous and I too am looking for some friends. I guess that will be a separate letter.  My closest friends were Jane Abeleson she and her family Dr. Abelson lived across from the Jewish Center. And of course my Best Best Friend Helene Hirschhorn....where are you Helene, and Renee Gutman, if anyone knows these people or remembers me please e-mail me at J-schultheis@hotmail.com. I'm sorry this is so jumbled, I am just so excited, even writing. I do want to send this, if I have to change the way my letter is please let me know I mean looking for these people.  Regards Judy

"Hi holy Tietze!" Who else would understand that expression without attending Far Rockaway High School. When my sister first turned me on to this web site, no one was listed under the 1964 graduating class. I didn't want to be the first one and here it is "the new millennium and I see names I already remember. Having just purchased a house and not completly unpacked, I need to locate my year book so that I can match the names to the faces. I always wanted to attend my high school reunion but didn't exactly know how or when someone would contact me. Of course, I should have at least contacted the school with a current address, but that was too simple! Whenever the next reunion party takes place, I plan to be there. Yes, out of curiosity as everyone else is probably thinking. I am happy that the old high school still exists. With the times, so many buildings, neighborhoods, cities change, I can hardly believe Far Rockaway is still up and running. I hope a couple of our teachers are around so we can all see if they remember us! UPDATE -  In my retirement I permanently live in rural Southwest France. If you are mailing any information to the graduates, please update your records for my address. It is written as follows:

Lucas, Joanne - woehrs@optonline.net  - No City Listed
Hi Skip.  My maiden name is Joanne Lucas.  I lived in Dinsmore Towers, 1056 Neilson St., Far Rockaway until I was married in 1972.  After I became Mrs. Edward Woehr, I moved to Lindenhurst, Long Island.  I was seven when my mother, Grandmother and I first moved to Far Rockaway.  We rented an apartment in Wavecrest.  My mother used to walk me to the concession stands on the boardwalk after her 7 am to 3.P.M. shift at St. Joseph's Hospital.  On her days off we would go to the Chinese restaurant above  the Grants store on Central Ave.  I took accordion lessons above that store, too, from Mr. Lawrence for $3.00 an hour.  I went to P.S. 215 in 1952.  In 1953 I was switched over to St. Mary's Star of the Sea School which I attended until we moved to Dinsmore in 1957.  At that time I changed schools again, attending P.S. 39 for a year because it was only 2 blocks away from my building.  My favorite place to get apple pie was the Pickwick.  My best memories are of meeting my Aunt, Uncle and cousins at Beach 12th Street.  I loved that beach because there were no waves and you could watch the Atlantic Beach Bridge go up and down from there.  Sometimes we would walk the boardwalk to watch the fireworks by Rockaway Playland.  If I had graduated from Far Rockaway H.S., it would have been in 1964, but after I attended Benjamin Cardoza Jr. High for three years, my Mother thought it best that I go to Lawrence H.S.  So, of course I did.  In that day you did not argue with your parents!  I remember going to Woolworths and seeing Halloween costumes hanging from the ceilings,  carrying home our own Christmas trees from town every year.  Cutting school to go the RKO Strand, Columbia, or PIX.  Having sundaes at the diner where McDonalds is now.  Buying meat at the market on Mott Ave.  Having a spaghetti dinner at an Italian Restaurant by the Police station on Mott Ave.  Buying a doll at the toy store by St. Mary Star of the Sea Church.  I remember buying my favorite dress at Sherry's on Central Ave. next door to the Cotton shop.  Thanks so much for this site and for sharing in my memories.  Joanne

Just learned of the Alumni Site. After graduating from FRHS in 1964, I went on to New York City Community College AAS- accounting 1968) and then on to Baruch College of the City University of New York (Finance and Economics 1973), completing all studies at evening session. Made immigration to The State of Israel in 1974, and have been at The Ben Gurion University of the Negev since 1975, as an economist for first 18 years, and then continued as a Librarian Catologer (oddly enough-- I worked as a student in FRHS Library all 3 of my years of study) - along with Mixed Chorus the same 1961-1964 period.

So glad to find a place to look up old classmates! I became a teacher after college...married as soon as I was out of school and taught for a few years in Smithtown. We moved to California twenty-five years ago. I never taught out here but began our family instead. We have three children, a daughter in Grad school (Aerospace Engineering) and a daughter and son in college. When I went back to work I was among the founding staff of the Children's Discovery Museum here in San Jose. My husband, a software consultant, works at home and I substitute teach so our life is pretty flexible.  It was wonderful finding this site. I would love to hear from alumni, people I knew or people here in the Bay Area who are from Far Rock or the Rockaway area.

Miss everybody in rockaway and hope all of you are doing great! Thanks so much to Carol and Skip for all they do for us. Talk to everybody on the CHAT. Hugs and Kisses, SUZ

Sadly, one of our more interesting chatters has passed away. She was Suzan Posner Weisser, class of 1964. She had been in chat with us the entire seven years it lasted. She told us she'd met someone online and planned on meeting him for a date. Sharon and I said she'd better take a friend along; he could be an axe murderer. Anyway, they met, and about two months later Jerry came into the chat room as a guest and proposed to Suz online...she said "yes," and off they went to Duluth, MN...happily married.

We'll miss her...

I grew up in Belle Harbor, graduated FRHS in 64 and played on the football  team. After graduating college, I was hired by NYPD and was assigned to Far  Rockaway (101 Pct.) for 3 yrs and often walked the foot post by FRHS. (No I  never took anyone back to school for playing hookey because that would have been  hypocritical since I did it so often myself!) In 73 I was hired by US Customs as  a sky marshal and I was promoted through the Customs ranks to the position of  Special Agent in charge of JFK Airport, NY in 95. I worked for US Cutoms  Investigations for 27 years in  NY, Washington DC and Miami. I retired in south Florida (Pembroke Pines) in  98 and currently do some part time private investigation work. I'm married, have  3 children, and currently live in Florida with my wife Grisel and our 3 year old  son, Tommy. And yes, we're all Miami Dolphin, Heat, Hurricane and Marlins fans.  Class of 64-Hello to my old friends in Belle Harbor. Life is great in South Florida. If you're looking to buy a home there, give me a call. Go Heat and Dolphins!

Spielman, Howard - HASpielman@aol.com  - Sharon, MA
After graduating from FRHS in '64, I spent six years in Rochester, NY (UofR), then moved to Cambridge, MA in '70 to work (at the place where you don't pahk the cah in the yahd). Married in '71 and moved to Sharon, MA in '73, where I've lived ever since. I've gone through four careers over the years: scientific research, teaching, business management, and management consulting. I have spent 25+ years managing to have fun while working in the same field as my doctoral dissertation. I have also been very involved on the local, regional, and national levels as a volunteer with the Boy Scouts of America. My two sons are both Eagle Scouts and are both married (one has two children and the other has one on the way). I travel on business with some frequency and would love to hear from (and maybe catch up with) FRHS classmates around the country (or around the world).

Hi everyone. It's great to be able to hear about and locate people from the past - I would love to hear from old friends.

Gary Bart! Linda Siflinger! Wow! It is great to find you. I left Rockaway in '62 when we moved to Long Island (East Rockaway) . I last saw Debbie May a few years after that. Her parents lived on Washington Avenue in Lawrence. Her dad is Dr. Justin May. Linda , I think we last saw each other when I was teaching in Long Beach, NY (around '75) and you had babies!   I've lived in France, Hawaii, New York, and Florida , before our move to Atlanta 11 years ago. I'm married 26+ years to my sweetheart, Dana, a recently retired Delta Airlines man, have three grown children, one married last Sept. They are all over the country -San Antonio, Seattle, and Cheshire, Ct.   I've been teaching French in high school forever. Moving to Georgia has been the biggest cultural shock of my life. What wonderful memories I have of our "music class", the first to graduate from JHS 180. Our family made a nostalgic visit to NY shortly after 9/11 and I wanted my kids to see my old haunts and we couldn't even find the school! Guess that's what 40 years will do. It doesn't seem possible. I still feel like the same kid.  Please contact me. I'd love to hear from old friends. Anyone know of Addie Kaufman?  All the best.

I am sad to say that I attended the funeral of my dearest old friend Brad Gutman today. Lots of wonderful memories: Queens Champion Football Team, college roommates, frat brothers, beachclub/bar management partners Atlantic Beach NY, lifeguards. Worked together at Lee Jeans, shared weddings, births and many more wonderful memories too many to mention. Life is short play (and dine) hard. "And flights of angels..."

In a city the size of Denver there must be s few more Far Rockaway H.S. graduates. If there are any who would like to get together I would be up for it. I miss the wonderful way the air smelled in Far Rockaway. Midwest air has no substance.

I have been working in Rockaway for several years and have seen the changes to Rockaway over the years. I still have fond memories.  Besides FRHS, I went to JHS198 and PS42.

I am so glad I discovered this site last year!  I'm transported home everytime I visit the site.  It brings back so many good memories.  Skip, Carol, and everyone involved with this site, thank you and keep up the great work!!  I'll do my part, too.  During the past year I've already found many long lost friends, including my best friend from grade school!  I'd love to hear from more of your guys from P.S. 39, JHS 198, and, of course, FRHS! I was a member of the '63-64 Majorette squad and would love to hear from some of my majorette buddies.  Plus, who out there remembers our field trip to the '64 World's Fair and the boat ride to Play Land at Rye Beach?!  Let me hear from ya!

Weiner, Adrienne (Eisenberg) - eisenbe7@aol.com - Staten Island, NY Updated March, 2012
Hi everyone,  This is so wonderful to be communicating with old and dear friends from the past. When people ask me, "where are you from?", even though I've lived on Staten Island for the past 23 years, I always very proudly say, "I grew up in Bayswater, Far Rockaway." I was saddened to read of the passing of Jack Guttentag and Maxine Weiner.  They were wonderful individuals. Marsha Rederer-Raffloer, Maxine Rubin-Coz, and myself are planning to attend the reunion this summer in FL.  We hope to see many of you there.  Have a happy and healthy Passover and Easter holiday to all.

I lived in Far Rockaway in Wavecrest at 20-38 Seagirt Blvd. I went to PS 215 and then moved to Long Island. I made some really great friends in the six years I lived there and don't know what happened to any of them. I graduated from high school in 1964. I went to Vietnam and came back in one piece. I was just looking for these friends. None of their names are listed on the web site. One was Robert Klein, whose dad owned the pharmacy; one was David Kessler who I believe was the Surgeon General of the U.S.A. There was a girl named Marsha Pocklin who I adored at the age of ten, and a couple of other guys whose last names I can't remember. I do have pictures from grade school of our class trip with some of those kids. Another kid I was really friendly with was Alan Levy, who became a doctor. Wavecrest was a fun place tto live when I lived there. Halloween was great, and school was fun. The winters were fun when the snow was on the ground, and the beach was great. There were no high fences, no security like there is now. It was a happy place, and I have happy memories. I just wanted to find just one "old" friend. It would be fun to chat, and see where things went.
