Larry Kingsley's Comments

Hey Larry, It's been a long time, took me a moment to realize who "Victor" was. You guys are settled in Nevada, living is good there I hear. Howie & I try and head west each year for vacation, we do love wide open spaces. How's Annie doing? Please send her my best.

I saw Marty's earlier post. Names like Alan Barnett, Brian Kanzaki....what a memory. The one thing he did get wrong was that the football games were in the garden apts. across 77th Ave, not 75th. I also distinctly remember Marty referring to...Sandrew.

Larry, Those football games in the Garden Apartment courtyard adjacent to 75 Ave. were great. It was you,me, Dave Moin, Joel Stieker, Jerry Dusenman, Peter Goldbitz, Alan Barnett, and occassionally Brian Kanzaki(He was an odd character). Do any of these other names ring a bell? I didn't realize back then that Mrs. Stagmier was regularly doing up a bottle of Schnapps or something! How often do you visit the east coast? Any chance of going to the Alumni Reunion? I'm toying with the idea of going.---Marty

Larry--How the heck are you!!! Of course I remember you. You lived about 4 or 5 houses down the alleyway across from mine. How's your brother Sandy doing? I used to tease him by telling him his full name was "Sandrew"(Andy--Andrew). Do you recall all the baseball we used to play in front of our garage doors with a stickball bat and a Whiffle Ball? Thoose were fun times. One instance I particularly remember is when a small group of us( you,me, Larry Ganz, and my brother Harold) were playing baseball in the alley. We used the sewer cover in front of Mr.Stagmier's porch as home plate. One of us, possibly you, hit a high shot that landed on the porch of that old women we used to call "Bulldog". She got all upset and starting yelling at us untill your Dad come out and told her to "chill out" in so may words. Do you keep in touch with many friends our old neighborhood? Even after 45 years, I still occasionally talk and get together with David Moin, who used to live at the other end of the alleyway. ---------------Marty

Larry, I remember that you lived near Joan Budne and we would hang out at Lois Metzger's house. You were also friends with Robert Roman. Do you still speak to him? I do remember you being my boyfriend...but I think it was more than two days?

It's crazy the things you remember from so long ago. And I can't remember what I did yesterday!

Oh jeez, Larry. How you doing man? Sure, football catch, baseball catch, anything we could think of throwing around. You were always better than me. Remember playing APBA Football in your basement? And that ping pong table you had? And skittle ball? Oh man Larry, good stuff. You still a SF Giants fan? Hope you are well.

My father was your little league coach. Pretty sure we were on the same team. That's why I thought we were the same age. I graduated 164 in '67. Didn't your brother have black teeth when he was little? Amazing the things you remember! You should come back for the reunion in June.

Yes that's where we reconnected so to speak. Then I went to look at your house. Then you moved to NV. Do you like it?

Yes I do. It was a nice house. I wound up near Roslyn. Still working special ed on Long Island. Weren't we in a class at Queens college? Don't you miss us city folk?
