Thanks
to Ed Weisman For These
Wonderful
Rockaway Memories
Dear Alan,
Although I'm not an FRHS alumnus (my older brother Mike, though, is a graduate) I consider myself a proud product of a Rockaways childhood and I immensely enjoy the Far Rockaway web site.
At
the urging of my aunt and uncle who lived in Edgemere my family moved from
Washington
Heights to Hollywood Court in Far Rockaway just in time for me to
begin
kindergarten at P.S. 104 in 1947. Our neighbors on Hollywood Court
included
Myrna and Kenny Lande, Diane and Stuart Ackerman and Geraldine Arden. My
best friend, Eddie Levick, lived across from us on McBride Street. I was
a member of the first graduating class of Cardozo JHS and I attended FRHS
for one semester but we then moved to East Rockaway and I graduated from
Lynbrook High School in 1959.
I recently came across the attached class photo and my Cardozo diploma. The other photo shows the intersection of Central and Mott Avenues taken with my then-new camera in September 1957. Feel free to post any of these on the website if you wish.
Please keep up the wonderful work you're doing.
Best
wishes,
Ed
