Girl's Softball Team, Gatelot Ave. School, 1956

Here's another sports photo taken in 1956 at Gatelot Ave. School. We were all 7th graders (class of 61) Note the "old" car in the back.
A friend and classmate John Hall asked me how I remembered everyone's name in the Leader's Club photo and I had to admit that the names were written on the back.

Pictured are:
Front Row - Jeannie McKinnon, Fran Rodriquez, Chris Finer(captain), Velma Duarte, Janet Bowers

Standing - Pat Dickens, Loretta Hildenbrand, Edwina Dugan, Regina Delagrose, June Luckel, Janet Nelson, Judy Weicher

Anecdotal Storm Report From "Back Home:" Long Island New York!

Today 4/22/2007, I went to my favorite restaurant, "Sunwaters" to enjoy their "World Class," New England Clam Chowder. I asked the Waitress about the Nor-Easter Storm, that hit long Island on April 13, 2007; she shared the following details!

The Sunwater Restaurant, that I spoke of earlier in this blog, is positioned on a peninsula next to the Shinnacock Inlet, in Hampton Bays (at the end on Dune Road!) There is only one way in, and one way out!

In the early stages of the Storm, a portion of Dune Road was under about 14 inches of water; The restaurant stayed open, because many "Brave SUV Drivers," wouldn't let the water stop them! "Sounds like something I would do! Ha Ha."

"Hay! we like to have Hurricane Parties too!!!!!! "
Long Island people are still crazier than those of you that moved down South; because "We Don't Know any Better!" Ha! Ha!

After listening to the weather report, they were warned of an impending "Storm Surge." They then closed the Restaurant, and evacuated the area. This preventative measure did prove to be fruitful: the storm Surge arrived at 8PM, and the waves were coming over the top of the 10 foot Dune, that protects the area. At the time of the Storm Surge, Dune Road was submerged!

The Restaurant survived; and I did not see Billy Joel fraternizing with the Fisherman! Ha! Ha!

Sachem Reunion In Florida, Fall 2007

I recently spoke with Marilyn who works at Disney and she will try and get some sort of discount for a reunion in the Fall in Florida. Several of us already have told her it would be great. Maybe you can post it on your blog. I still haven't been able to reach Pauline Millevolte. Does Camille have a different e-mail address for her or a mailing address. I would like to send her a note. Talk to you soon.

Thanks. Brenda Sichenzia

Does anyone know where this photo was taken? What was the occasion?

HI Ben,
Here is another photo, I don't think you have in the Blog. It is very dark, and I don't know if you can use it. Thought I would send it anyway...

Love Camille

I can't recall where this photo was taken. It had to be at one of our early reunions, but Tom Paranelli was not at the last one at the Bavarian Inn and since he is in the picture....I'm going to ask Tom Sabatelle...He might know. Is Tom Paranelli hooked up to your blog. If not, I will call him. Best....
