<p>Hello All! My brother had Mrs. Simon for first grade the same year I had Miss ??? for third grade. We lived on 152nd(?) street. Mrs. Simon invited us up to the house so we walked. What I remember most is that she all of the gold records on the wall leading up the staircase. She was a very proud mama.</p>

<p>Mrs. Simon filled in for almost all of my fifth grade year when our regular teacher, Mrs. Whiting, had to go out for surgery.  Mrs. Simon was a lovely woman.  For whatever reason, I recall her driving a red and white Ford, maybe a 1958, down 77th Avenue each afternoon as I was on my way to my home on Park Drive East.  Paul and Art came several times to play in the auditorium.  They were still performing as Tom and Jerry.</p> <p> </p>

<p>Nice to hear from you Marty.  I had Mrs. Simon as a substitute teacher in 1st grade at what became Campbell Junior High School, and then again as a regular teacher in 5th grade.  We became very close and stayed in touch through my college years.  I was friendly with Alan Kachel, Beth Arditty and Cele Savits who lived across the Street from the Simons family.  I graduated 164 in June of 1962 (50 years ago-OMG!) and went on to Campbell, Bowne, and Pratt Institute and am residing in Park Slope…</p>

Hi Debra, I somehow missed this post and it's been awhile. I used to have photos from the plays, but not sure if I can find them, but I will look next time I am home in NY. I remember you playing the Duchess ;-)

I can certainly remember Simon performing at our dance...was it the graduation dance in 62?<br /> <br /> As for teachers, sadly my strongest memory is of the despicable (to me) Mrs Greenblatt. She used to make fun of me, was a harsh and angry woman. I think it was 2nd grade.<br /> <br /> Of Mr Goldmacher (6th), I retain fonder but less clear memories.<br /> <br /> Joel

Hi rhona. Lannie and I met up at the bowne reunion in the mid 80s.<br /> <br /> Mrs. Simon and the connections to her son have remained pretty vivid for me. I have his autograph as Jerry Landis. Coincidentally my younger son has an internship with the organizer of the recent tribute in central park and we have a picture Im sorry I am unable to enclose at the moment since he's away for the weekend.<br /> <br /> <br /> How have you been and where to you live? I live in Park Slope in Brooklyn with my husband and younger son…

Mrs. Simon was our neighbor, along with sons Paul and Eddie.<br /> She was not my teacher but I had her for Home Ec. We made aprons.<br /> Alan Kachel, known as Lannie, was also my neighbor.<br /> We all lived on 70th Rd between 137 and 141 St.<br /> We both took guitar lessons from Paul.<br /> I think he charged $2.00 a lesson.<br /> Then I took lessons from little brother Eddie.<br /> He said he wouldn't continue teaching me unless I cut my nails. I quit the lessons.<br /> Last time I saw Lannie, we carpooled to Queens College summer…
