Vivian Mintz, Class of 1954 joins us from Boca Raton, Florida and writes the following.
Dear Skip: I graduated in 1954 from FRHS. Very interested in keeping up with people from FRHS. Are you attending the reunion. I gave the school hundreds of people to contact. I just ran a reunion in Boca Raton for the 50's. I had 125 people. It was wonderful. Are you related to Linda Weinstock 1954? I lived in Far Rockaway but my family was from Arverne. My maiden nmae was Mintz. Do you know the name?
Hope to hear from you again. Thanks for your letter. As you can see I am just learning the computer. I have no idea how to send pictues etc.
Vivian can be reached at BOBRIK@aol.com
Thanks Vivian for your letter. I'm not related to Linda Weinstock but had 3 cousins who lived in Rockaway. Ellyn, David, and Beth Weinstock. If you have any photos from the Boca Raton reunion, I would be happy to put them on the web site. Just mail them to me and I will return them to you. Hope to hear from you soon.
Edward Berlin, Class of 1954 joins us from New York.
I am astonished at Far Rockaway's hold on me. Almost half a century after I left, the people, the places, and, most of all, the beaches, return in nighttime dreams. I'm not deceived; the Rockaway of my dreams - of our dreams - is gone. It exists only in our memories and will not outlast us. In my waking hours, I'm a retired computer programmer and an active musicologist, lecturer, and writer. I've written three books on music and am currently working on a fourth while revising the first for a new edition. On the domestic front, I have collaborated with Andrée de Plata - my wife and closest companion - in the production of three extraordinary daughters.

My
wife, Judi, and I moved here to central Ohio in 1978. One of the questions I'm
most often asked is, "What made you move to Ohio from New York?" I'll be happy
to tell you if you send me an e-mail. Really, I love to touch base with my
friends from FRHS. I know how many of you have moved to the Boynton Beach/Boca
Raton area, as did so many of my relatives, and I'd probably be able to find a
chance to see you sometime (one of my children works for Delta Airlines, so Judi
and I fly for free). We were in Boynton Beach just last month (were we sitting
next to you in TooJay's?). Even if we can't get together in person, it would
simply be great to share memories via the internet. I taught English and
Speech for 20 years in the Worthington (Ohio) schools and retired in June, 2004.
I keep busy with musical activities, playing 'cello with a local symphony
orchestra and acting as my synagogue's de facto music director. Judi and I are
also sailors. For 10 years we kept a 28 foot Hunter sloop on Lake Erie; we no
longer own the boat, but we sail whenever we get a chance. We have 5
children/stepchildren between us, and we have 6 grandchildren. Below is a
picture of me and my stepson.

my apartment even with all the devastation Sandy has brought to our town.
Am still friendly with many people I graduated with. Looking forward to seeing
everyone at 1950/60 Reunion at Broken Sound Country Club in Boca Raton on
January 28, 2012.

Such fond memories of FRHS. Wonderful fun filled, uncluttered
times. It still holds a special place in my mind's eye. I
remember
walking on the boardwalk at night, meeting friends at the juke box,
going
to the outdoor movies on the boardwalk, and just enjoying the summers
so
much. I love to keep up with old friends; you can pick up a
conversation that you may have had 40 years ago! Please e-mail me
if you remember me at school with any of your memories too. I
also
have some very old pics...I live in Wantagh, LI. with my husband.
I own a word processing company. Not retired yet. Still
love
the beach and the sand has never come out of my shoes! Have the
fondest
memories of FRHS. Have crazy memories of pledging a sorority and
pushing a peanut down Central Avenue with my nose, and riding in a baby
carriage! Looking back, it seems like a wonderful uncluttered
time
of life. I still keep in touch with several old friends from high
school. Sandy Flohr (Atlas) and Yvette Zimmerman (Miller), Sharon
Gabriel, Linda Rettig. I'd love to hear from any of the graduates
from 1954. I still have my yearbook which I open from time to
time. Far Rockaway will never be far from my heart. I still
have sand in my shoes that will never be removed. Had wonderful memories there,
especially the boardwalk in the summers near Beach 35th street. My father used
to own the concessions from 35th to 34th street, so I worked in many of the
places on the boardwalk. I worked in the bath house for many years. My brother
ran the custard store at the corner of 35th street. We spent our summers eating
Sam's knishes, tuckee cup, pizza and lemon ices which were ground by hand. Such
great memories.

Growing up in Far Rockaway led to my having salt water in my

We recently moved to Holden Beach, NC and it's spectacular. I hit
the beach every morning for an hour and a half walk and ride the waves
in the summer. I would like to hear from anyone who
remembers
me. Would like to find Clyde Shaeffer, Henry Appel.
Whatever
happened to Faith Perlson, one of the three Perlson beauties?

graduates,
Lenny Mayer and Arthur Sobel. Also, there was Harriet Isreal Mayer,
Lenny's

together
with other friends from the 1954 class. Among them are Norman Block,
Warner
Norton, Fred Sherman, Kenny Sherman, Dean Georges, George Miller, Morty
Holzer, Mitch Kay, Mitchell Koepell. Its really a great deal of fun to

speak

8 July 2002. I live in upper California and have not been back east
since summer of 78. The Far Rockaway of my youth was not there
anymore.
The memories are the best and even though I come from a small town of
no
civic pride I am very glad to have been raised there. Going to
take
another look August this year. Couldn't keep away.
