Hi Barbara
Doris is not on my Mailing List. I have no idea if she has a Computer. If you find out that she has an Email Address, please give it to me!

I will put your letter into the Blog, hoping that someone else has Dorise's Email Address!

Query Fron Barbara Deppe Schwinn
Hi Ben
I was looking at the blog and I saw Doris Christopherson, my next door neighbor on Pinoaks Place. Could you give her my email address or could you give me hers, since I "don't do computer too well?" I love this blog and hope it continues for our children and grandchildren to enjoy.

Barbara

Video of Lake Ronkonkoma
The Bavarian Inn is at the far end of the now visible Parking Lot. This lot was under five feet of water, just a few months ago.

The noise in the background is the wind; it was blowing at 35 Miles Per Hour, when this video was taken.

At the end of this video you will see the former location of Turners Park, which is now a Playground/ Picnic Area.

I still look at this area with great fondness; I spent some of the best years of my life "Hanging Out," at Lake Ronkonkoma! I loved the Pavilions; Hollywood Pavilion, Ceder Grove, The Suffolk House, and the Bavarian Inn!

My first professional appearance as a Guitar Player/ Entertainer was at a Lake Ronkonkoma Night Club (name withheld). What I didn't know at the time, was that it was a "House of Ill Repute."

As I think back, I clearly recall Great People, and Great times!

Comment From Barbara Deppe Schwinn:

I do have fond memories of lake Ronkonkoma. Bettyann ,keller, Cox and I would take the bus , I would get on in Farmingville, and she would get on in Selden. Fond memories; we would also do the same thing if we went to Patchogue. Our Shopping Mall, ha ha. I remember Sweezeys, the 5 and 10, going to the movies, and just hanging out. Fond memories!

Thanks to all

Barbara Schwinn

Comment From Joan Lalla Garson:

Hi
I wonder if anyone remembers the name of that ride at Turner Park that rotateted like a ferris wheel, but each caged unit which could seat 4 people also rotated individually. It was so scarey that my neighbor actually wet her pants while we were on it

Joanie Lalla Gerson

Comment From Priscilla Kolb-Pierce:
I went on that ride with my father when I was about 14. He thought he it would be funny to rock it until I wound up sitting on his shoulders and neck. Then it wasn't so funny.

I don't remember the name.

Hi everyone
Our classmate Barbara Deppe Schwinn has been located. She lives in Lords Valley PA. Her High School Photo will be posted as soon as I can!

Her Email Address, can be found on the header of the Email, that is used to inform you of new postings to our Blog.

About a year ago Barbara attempted to contact her fellow alumni via Reunion.com. At that time I put up the following Web Page with Barbara's Photo.

(Left click the link below this line)

As it turned out my message to Barbara was screened by Reunion.com and she never got our message. Finally after doing detective Work, I managed to locate her using 411.

Welcome back Barbara!
