Yvonne Dressler's Comments

Thanks Yvonne, it would be great to see photos of my Dad since he passed away in 1975 and my Mom's photos were lost in a flood. I will certainly say hi to "Bob" for you we call him Robert. I was just in touch with his older sister Marion as my daughter was thinking of moving to Florida. my direct email is ronaspeaks@msn.com Let me know the cost of converting to DVD and i will gladly reimburse you for your time and trouble.

Yes I am Willie Lichtenberg's daughter. I saw Robert about two years ago when we all had dinner together. I don't remember you however. Would love to see the old movies of my dad though. I live in maplewood NJ

Yes I am.... She invited me a few days ago... pretty amazing memories of the past... Glad to join.

Ya'know, I think I'm recalling LuAnn... vaguely. As for the cartoon(s) you remember, that's a pretty vague description, but you could be thinking of the silent Farmer Gray (aka Farmer Al Falfa) cartoons.

I remember "Mimo" (Dominic Mongelli, or something like that). Don't recall Luann... My sisters live in South Florida today with families and all that. Me? I never grew up.

Hi Yvonne. Were you friends with my sister Laurie? I also have a sister named Stephanie. We lived on 136th Street near Jewel Avenue.

You do too. Amazing! Forty+ years later... UGH!
You were in my sister Debbie's grade/classes. Good to hear from you.

What an extraordinary memory you have. It was indeed such a pure and simple time and those sweet memories are to be cherished forever. Congratulations on beating cancer; that is a glorious achievment.

Hi, I to like the open space of NJ and I take advantage of it with outdoor activites . I moved back to Nj when I met my wife as she is a native of nj. and had only visited Queens for the 64-65 worlds fair or to go to JFK airport.She is from Westfield and Scotch plains.It turned out that hersisters husband, now my brotherinlaw is from Queens and we were in the same grad. class. We like to watch tv shows and movies that take place in Queens such as the king of queens and Comming to America. My wife went to college in Easton PA. only 14 mi from where I was working in Washinton NJ. back in the 70`s.
Give my regards to Glen Gardner.

Hi,
I think you lived near Park drive east in the garden apts.I had some frends and classmates that lived there. I lived in a house on 78th ave east of main st.
When I got out of coll. my first real job was in Wash. NJ. and I went back to KGH weekends .I never lost contact with frends in the area and I lead hikes for the Paulinskill Valley Trail Committee, we are a rail trail group. Check out our website: WWW.pvtc-kvsp.org
When I was a kid we used to go on day trips to Flemington and I remember riding the steam train to Ringos.That was way before 78 so we used old22.Did you know Renee Adler? I knew her brother.You may have known some of my neighbors also. It looks like we had some of the same teachers only 4 years apart. What brought you out to NJ.?

Hi;
I do not know you as I was in the class of 64. I used to live in Washington nj and now live in West Orange. I lead hikes in your area and also in Warren And Sussex county. In your area we hike on the Columbia trail out of Highbridge.I moved directly from KGH. to Washington nj in 76 when I got a job at the old Consumers Research Magazine. The area was full of farms back then before the developers built it up. Rt 31 was a dangerous 2 lane road.
Its good to know that someone from 164 lives there.

Hi Yvonne. Thanks for the outreach. Dayna sends her regards.

No, I am not in any of your pictures, but I do remember your name. I know a few of the faces in your pictures but can't remember names except for a few. How funny that you kept these.

Yes! That was her! Yvonne Thiele! My memory is so bad these days. It is so much fun to catch up with people on here. I have been on facebook for a couple weeks and found a few former classmates. Thank for the memories of Arrowbrook Gardens. My apartment faced Jewel Avenue, one of the ones that was right on the driveway where you entered the development. Our dining room window was constantly broken by kids playing handball in that little driveway. Ha Ha.

Hi Yvonne,

Did you live in the same court on Park Drive East as a girl named Stephanie? I was good friends with a girl named Yvonne in that court and cannot remember her last name!

Yes, how did you know? I dated him in High School, and by that time, I didn't really keep in touch with anyone from 164 since they all went to Jamaica High School and I went off to Bowne.

Yvonne: I am impressed! What a memory. Have you kept in touch with anyone else from that class?

Yvonne: I just looked at the picture and wrote down names. Maybe you can fill in the gaps for me. From left to right and from front to back:

Harlan Ginsberg, ________, Richard Fiedler

Jayne Alexander, me, Randi Finkelstein, Richard Leroy, Ira Block, Myra Needleman, __________, Ivy Orenstein

_________, you, ________, _________, ________, _________, Sandra Gizelt, Arlene Haimes

Arlette (can't remember last name), ________, Marilyn Zelinger, Renee Adler, ________, ________, Cathy Komar, ______

Stuart Bittman, Dawn Bennett, ________, Robin (can't remember last name), ________, David Davis, ________, Andy Sommers, Mrs. Riccio

I was friends for a while with Richard Fiedler, Richard Leroy and Andy Sommers. Randi Finkelstein and Cathy Komar kept turning up in many of my classes at 164 and through high school. But I don't have contact with anyone from that class now.

Were you in any of my classes after second grade? My teachers were
3rd grade -Mrs. Goldman
4th grade - Mrs. Goldblatt
5th grade - MIss Riley
6th grade - Mr. Edelson

Take care
Stewart

Yvonne: I looked at the photo you posted. That is me between Jayne Alexander and Randi Finkelstein. I can't believe I had my eyes closed in the picture. Is that you directly behind me? It's funny, but when I looked at the picture I remembered the names of about half the people in the class. I lost track of most of the people at PS 164 until I found this website. Since then I've had contact with Randi Weinerman and Cindy Adams from the class of 1968. I've also exchanged e-mails with some friends I knew from other graduating classes.

Thanks for submitting the photo. It was fun to look at. Do you think you can name most of the people in the photo? And have you been in contact with anyone from that class?

Take care
Stewart
