Thank you for getting back to me. In any case, it is still fun to connect in this way. I lived at 135-20 78th Avenue, right off Park Drive East. I was class of 67, my brother, Joel, class of 62. I see you were class of 67, too. Oh my. My husband and I are going to the reunion as is my brother and his wife.

Take care.

Dear Ken,

Were your parents Carrie and Dick Koppelman? My grandparents (Eddie and Irene Schnabel) and my parents (Roz and Sy Kuppersmith) were very close friends of theirs.

Hi Kenny,
Can't make it that night. I sing in a community chorus and our spring concert is the same evening. Sounds like you'll have fun actually seeing old friends and re-connecting. It's a good thing to do. I'm sure there will be lots of photos posted on this site afterwards. Looking forward to seeing them.
Take care,
Elyse

Hey. I really don't think this reunion thing is for me. But thanks anyway.

hi kenny, i was wondering if people are bringing their spouses. I hope so, cause i would love for my husband to be there with me.

Hi Ken- i did not fall off the face of the earth! The holidays were hectic. My son is still home from college for winter break so the post-holidays are still a little crazy. You sent me your email address but I can't seem to access that message. Ok, so I'm a little computer challenged!
Happy New Year to you and yours!

hi Ken- after i signed on to the site, i started digging through some old pictures and stuff, and i found the program from the Sound of Music in which you were Friedrich!! and, the program from Mrs.Blume's class play called New York, New York. do you remember? To refresh your memory, you were a Norwegian Folk Dancer. I was a Hungarian Folk Dancer, A Night Club Entertainer, and also performed "Kids" from Bye Bye Birdie. so funny!

Hey Kenny - sorry it took so long to get in touch. Fred told me that when he signed on to the site, you asked about me. I just joined - there are so many names from the past...it's pretty crazy! My 10 year old son (could you believe i have a ten year old??) is home with the chicken pox, so i've been glued to the computer. I saw the pictures you posted. I think you were in most of my classes at 164. let me know how you're doing. Didn't we bump into each other in nyc a million years ago? be in touch, cheryl

Hi Ken. My daughter is Jill Bader. It is a small world. Your brother Paul was in a lot of my classes.

Ken:

I do have a sister Cheryl. She lives on LI and has 3 kids. I'll let her know you asked. You have a brother Mitchell? Was in his class.

Hi Ken, WOW! That's really funny. How do you know Glenn and how did you know I was a related Riegler? :) That's so funny that you went to Campbell, John Bowne AND Queens. I know exactly where you lived. My grandmother still lives on 70th Road off of 141 Street! My parents live 1 block from PS 164 on Park Drive East. I don't know if Im going to the reunion....many of my classmates are not going so I haven't decided yet. Thanks for saying hi. :)

Hi Kenny,
Yes, of course I remember you. You really haven't changed that much. It's amazing. I'm brand new to this site and, frankly, haven't really used the web much to find people that I used to know. But it is kind of fascinating and fun. My older sister (class of '62) actually found the site (I'm not sure how) and sent me the link. Guess I'll have to spend some time on it looking for people who may or may not remember me. Saw your lovely family pix. You all look really happy. Once I can figure out how to post some stuff, I'll share too. Thanks for putting up all those class pictures. I still have all of mine too. I probably have some from classes that we weren't in together. Thanks also for getting in touch. I haven't crossed paths with too many 164ers over the last 40 years (God, we're old) but my curiosity is now piqued.

Good to hear from you. Take care,
Elyse

Hi Kenny: I just went back on here to look at it some more. I didn't look at your pictures before. The girls are wonderful!!!. I am sorry I don't think I have have the occasion to meet your wife. I was at one of Chaim's 4th of July Barbs, a long time ago, but you did not attend. Anyway, in the last picture [ skiing: it is hard to tell if it is you or Paul!].........Oh, What GIRL played all day, and had to win her way on the court at PS 164, and Park Drive East?.... Then win Miss Flamingo when she was 12 years old?{MY MOTHER MADE ME DO IT!!!] The girls who came in #2 & 3 were 16 & 17. My Mother lied about my age.But, The the funniest thing was I had to walk all around the pool in front of everyone. I was wearing my Mom's high heels, which I never wore in my life, and I stepped on one of those pool grates, and feel down in front of everyone, and both my knees were bleeding like crazy. So, we have the picture of Miss Flamingo with this stupid crown, the other two girls at my side, and my bleeding knees. By the way, I think Paul is still laughing!!!!!! I hope all well with everyone........Please write, and tell me about how things are with .you........Love Vickie vickie736@aol.com

Hi Kenny! Guess who? I cannot belive you are on this site. I just found out about it? Just remember I played better baseball, and evrery sport than you & Paul!!!!! Love Vickie [in case you have are havining a senior moment] Baird is the last name! LOL... Love you! Please Write!

Kenny,

We were in some sort of sociology class at Queens College! That was the last time I saw you! I live in Hunterdon County NJ with my husband of 17 years. I even remember where you used to live! Are you going to the reunion in '09? My bags are packed! I went to my high school reunion several years ago. Out of a class of 800 or so, 100 showed up...but it was still a blast! Email me at ymagala@yahoo.com
