Guest guest Posted August 11, 2009 Report Share Posted August 11, 2009 Barbara, Teddy, Beth WOW! I am so glad we all got to talk it has felt like a mini reunion and we have never even met. Barbara, can't believe you lived in Woodhaven so close to Maspeth. I went to St. Stanislaus in Maspeth and then Immaculata HS while most of my friends went to Grover Cleveland. When & I were first married we lived in Bellerose, Glen Oaks apartments. So happy to meet all you original New York Girls - while happy where we are in life today - New York was a great special place to have the opportunity to grow up. Take care all, Dorothy Reinecke-Fayetteville, GA VATS 7/05-UIP 7/05 Live Simply, Love Generously, Care Deeply, Speak Kindly. Leave the rest to God.

My mother remarried and we lived in Glendale from the time I was 5ish until 21. Went to local parochial school (Sacred Heart) thru 8th Grade, then to St. Barbara's which was a two-year diocesan school in Bklyn, then to Grover Cleveland HS for my final two. My family's garden apartment was off Woodhaven Blvd - across the street from Woodhaven Lanes. Once I was in my teens, I hung out in Middle Village, and Maspeth mostly. Late teens, it was the Hamptons in the Summer (I was a hanger-on with my brothers fraternity brothers who rented a huge house each year). Starting with my early twenties, I was a Manhattanite through and through. Once old enough to take off on my own, I first lived on 78th between First and York (about six months), then on 26th betw Second and Third, 24th betw Second and Third, then 26th again - still between 2nd and 3rd. My final place in NYC was on 24th between 1st and 2nd. For a couple of years during that time, I played hippie, living in California, Colorado, Florida and Michigan. Ah that was fun! Moved to Chestnut Ridge in Rockland County in 1996 - near Spring Valley, Monsey, etc. Beautiful place to live. Moved to Waynesville in the beautiful mountains of WNC in October 2001, and here it is I hope to be until the end - many, many, many years from now! ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 12, 2009 Report Share Posted August 12, 2009 A lot of my friends went to St. Margarets Church. Went to some of the dances there. We hung out in the park near Penelope(?) Avenue, among other places. One of my first "major" loves lived in Woodhaven; my Dad's parents lived in Forest Hills. We went to Beach a lot (for the food), and the Rockaway for the boys. ;-) Barbara McD IPF, Sept 08 Beautiful Western NC Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
