Graduates From Rockaway In 1976

Monica Kelleher  (Bogert), Class of 1976, joins us from Spotsylvania, VA and writes the following.
It has been wonderful to hear from old friends, many of whom I had completely lost contact with a long time ago. Please feel free to email me - I'd especially love to hear from the St. Camillus class of 1972!  I graduated in January of 1976. I lived on Beach 118th street. Most of my family still lives in Rockaway, so I visit from time to time. It would be great to hear from folks I knew way back when! I'm now married, have four beautiful children, work in the insurance business and live in Virginia. I would be interested to know if there are any Far Rockaway H.S. alumni around here; it would be fun to get together.

Mitch Warstadt, Class of 1976, joins us and writes the following.

Far Rock was a special place to grow up...like a small town in the midst of suburbia. I still maintain friendships with fellow students from FRHS, not to mention JHS 180, P.S. 104 and the Bayswater Jewish Center Hebrew School. Where else could you find Milty's on Mott Ave, the El, Beach 17th, Gino's, the Town & the Pix movie theaters...and so on. Thanks for keeping this Web site (and those memories) alive!

During and after High School, life has been great, challenging but rewarding. As a U.S representative abroad, U.S Diplomat every two, three years changing country is exciting. Foremost, making a difference in this world, --whether taking part of history with the unification of Germany, explaining voting democratic process in China, or assisting destitute Americans after the earthquake in Haiti, -- all it has been challenging but very rewarding. So far, life has been has been a fun ride. Keep on smiling Rockaway, life is beautiful! Currently living and working at the U.S Consulate General Istanbul, Turkey, next assignment will be….. to another exciting place.

First graduating class of BCHS, many of my friends went to FRHS, would love to hear from my childhood friends who I lost contact with over the years, it has been too long.  Alert, desperately looking for Heidi Freed Rosen, please help me find her.  I was born and bred in Arverne 56th street, and later moved on to Beach 100 Street.  I have so many fond memories of growing up in the Rockaways.  My grandfather Irving Rapaport was president of the mens club of Cong Derech Emona, the only Temple still left standing, and always under repair because of vandals.  My Grandmother, Rose Greenberg 63rd street, had a rooming house there, until that too, was destroyed by vandals when the area hit the down side.  I visit your web site twice a week just so I can get those memories stirred up again. Visiting 33rd street and always trying to win those goldfish make me laugh time and time again!!  Tiki cups and icecream on waffles, those are the memories of family weekends. My mother Barbara (Greenberg) Rapaport, uncle Barry Rapaport and aunt Marcia Rapaport all graduated FRHS.  I went to BCHS because of the zoning when it was built, and subsequently lost contact with many of my friends, but I have found many of them on this web site.  Thank you, thank you for putting this whole thing together and making it work.  I am still tring to find Heidi Rosen (Freed) and hope that this web site will bring me back together with her.  Thanks for all the memories.

Many times I find myself returning in my mind to my FRHS days and it brings a smile to my face because I'm proud of where I came from, and all the people who were in my life. It's part of who I am today. Now and then, I run into some of you down here in Florida and it's amazing to see that...nobody's changed a bit!!!!! Remember, "48" is the new "38" etc.
