| 5732) Charles Anthony Bay Ridge Posted on: Jul 05 2017 | Hello all! My family bought a house on 81st street between 12th and 13th avenues in Dyker Heights circa '59 -'60. A rare beauty, that being an attached row house with a community drive. I went to P.S. 201, which was grades kindergarten through 9th grade, (if you can believe that). Once it changed to a middle school, I transferred to P.S 204 to complete 5th and 6th grades,( looked out the window and saw the building of the Verrazano Narrows bridge) and then back to (now) J.H.S. 201 grades 7 - 8. I took the test for Brooklyn tech on a lark and surprisingly passed, along with a few of my local friends and did 9th grade there. We walked to the New Utrecht Avenue and 79th street train station to take the B train downtown to Dekalb Avenue, and walked up to Fort Green Park. I, like a few of my friends didn't apply ourselves as we should have, and were asked to leave. We were glad in a sense, because we all wanted to go to New Utrecht H.S., and indeed we did! I have so many fond memories of that neighborhood, Emery's candy store, St. Bernadette and the church Bazaars every summer, 201 park and the sprinkler, the church dances and the battle of the bands at both The Knights of Columbus and St. Bernadette, in which I participated, being a guitarist in a band with my friends. There were kids hanging out on nearly every street corner in the summer, and 201 had a program for kids to join and play basketball, volleyball indoors, and use the baseball diamond for softball games as well as a handball court outdoors. I saw JFK in front of the Democratic Club when he was running for president. The Nuns at release time(Communion prep), told us to remind our folks to vote for him! Manhattan beach destinations, no cell phones, free TV, stay at home moms,great neighbors, clean streets, and 35 cent pizza slices. |

| 5730) Thomas Libourel tdintl1@gmail.com Lindenhurst, NY. Posted on: May 19 2017 | Hello Bay ridge. I never lived there but my parents and sister did before I was born in 1957 on Staten Island. They lived at 325 92nd St. I was also baptized at ST. Patricks on 3rd Ave. I remember going to Bay ridge to visit my grand mother in the house at 325 92nd St. I spent time on and off there until she passed on when I was 10. I remember how much fun I had there and my sister told me how great it was to live there and the fun times she had. I just want to let you know how wonderful a place Bay ridge is. Have a great day! May God bless. |

| 5703) Emilyann Frances May emilyannfrancesmay@yahoo.com Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, NY Posted on: Feb 09 2017 | I Am Writing My Family History And Combining Local History Into The Narrative. I Attended PS 204, Dyker Heights JHS201 (1965-68) And New Utrecht HS (1968-1971). Dyker Heights, Bay Ridge, Bensonhurst And Boro Park Were A World Unto Itself. Up Until The 1970s Neighbors Knew Each Other And Stopped To Converse. The Communities Were Stable With Families Livening Here For 2-3 Generations. Sometimes Life Was Constricted, Especially For Teenagers. Everything Moved Slowly And Manhattan Became The Destination Back Then. Now Brooklyn Is Once More A Place Of Choice To Live. I Hope Gentrification Does Not Destroy It. I Hope There Will Be Room For Newcomers And Long Timers. I Love It Here And Will Never Leave. |
| 5702) John Murtagh murtaghs25@gmail.com Oak Park Illinois Posted on: Feb 06 2017 | For Jim Strype - Jerry And Mike Strype Were Close Friend When Growing Up. Gerry Was A Classmate At OLPH, And Mike And I Worked Together At General Motors. In 1975, I Transferred To Detroit And Lost Contact. I Heard Of Jerry And Mike Death But Never Heard Of The Causes. I Found A Post You Wrote And Found That Their Deaths Came From Cancer And A Heart Attack. I Am Not Sure Why, But Knowing The Cause Is A Relief For Me. Best To The Strype Family. |
