Andrea Brandon Gelb's Comments

I am going to the reunion. It's a shame that so many people that I would love to see, you included, are not going. I never realized that you went to 164 also. I recently connected with Jack after all these years through facebook and met him for lunch. I really enjoy seeing old friends.

Are you the same Andrea that went to Bowne and is Jack Brandon's cousin?

It's a shame that nobody's going from our group, because I think it would be a great time catching up. What is your son's degree in? My older son is finishing up his soph yr at U. of Delaware. Majoring in history and poli sci. This summer, he will be doing an internship with our local congressman. He's been talking lately about going to law school. His goals seem to be crystallizing. Younger son finishing up his HS soph yr. On the fencing team. More into the sciences.

Hi, Andrea. Just trying to find out if you or any of our contemporaries are going to the reunion. Turns out it's NOT too late if a check can be sent in this week. My sister and her friends are going, but none of my former classmates are on the list.

I spoke to Cindy Adams last week and we thought it would be nice if we could all meet in NYC one night for dinner...whaddya think? Are you in touch with anyone from our class????

Hey, Andrea. Nice to hear back from you. Up until recently, I hardly was in touch with anybody from KGH. I moved out of the neighborhood after 10th grade. BUT, this site has been awesome. Have been in touch with: Ruben Perlmutter, Robert Sues, Andy Tivoli, Nancy Schachter, Sam Pai, and a host of others.
Yes, Mr. A's class was a trip. Sounds like you have an interesting career. What's your brother-in-law's and sister's names? Perhaps I know them. Good to hear from you.

Hi there, Andrea. If I remember, we were in Hebrew school together in Mr. Agronovich's class, and you came to a party at my house a couple weeks before my Bar Mitzvah. I'm an optometrist and I'm living with my family in Princeton Junction, NJ. Hope you are well.

Andrea,

Post a picture, though I am sure you have not changed!

I am in touch with my old friend Robin from HS and recently thru ps164 got in touch with Kenny Koppleman and a few others. I went to my 30th reunion from hs in '04. That was fun, but not many people attended. I am still in touch with my friend Nickie, who remains unmarried!

Andrea,

It's Yvonne...remember me? How are you? I am still in NJ, though we moved out of our condo and had a house built around 7 miles away. My mom passed away in '05. I miss her so much.

Would love to hear from you. Email me at ymagala@yahoo.com

Love,

Yvonne

Hi, Andrea! Yes, I remember you from KGH ... Kids in grad school, already! I'm thinking of hibernating for the upcoming teenage years of my two kids. Nancy Schachter found me about 8-9 years ago when I was living in Mexico; is she still working at the acquarium in Monterey (of course, I lost her email in a hard drive crash)? I know Charlie has a corporate/real estate legal practice in Garden City, but haven't seen/spoken to him in maybe 20 years. If you live in the same town, that must be Jericho. Please say hello to him next time you run into him. Things haven't changed in 35-40 years -- I still sing on the bimah. I've been a High Holiday cantor for most of the last 30 years ... and do the occasional Shabbat. Almost all my melodies are KGH melodies I learned from Reverend Miller and Cantors Bloch and Schwartz -- and I get a lot of "this reminds me of services when I was a kid" comments. And to think it was yesterday when I was younger than most of the congregants! What happened?.

yes, that was me. Do you remeber Donna Warshowsky (Falk) she lives in Florida about 30 miles from here. Mark Coles is in Germany, Randi Brenner is in upstate ny near Spring Valley. Judy Spitz is in ForestHills.
