Thank you so much for the well organized reunion yesterday.

Good friends, good food, great dance music, you couldn’t ask to anything more. It was so great to have the opportunity to meet up again with dear friends and neighbors. I know you put great effort into this reunion and just wanted it tell you how much your work hard work was appreciated and thank you for all you do. We should never forget where we came from and those who made us who we are.

Thanks so much, Carol (Testa) Gainer

Where do I begin. I had a fantastic time at the reunion. I loved seeing so many people I know. I wish it could have lasted for 8 hours. I didn’t want it to end. Thank you, Pat & Fred for all of your hard work in putting the reunion together. I greatly appreciated it. I also love the mug, book & bag that you gave us as a special remembrance. I won’t miss another one, God willing. The food was delicious. I could tell everyone had a great time.

Thanks,

Linda Pace Curran

I was a sophomore at Cardinal Dougherty, walking down the hallway when the announcement was made.

I accidently came upon the journal and lo and behold I saw a mention of Rosen’s Cut Rate. Well, I grew up there, my parents Max and Anne Spector owned the store and we lived upstairs. I went to Pierce School, being Jewish. May of the names in your articles are familiar to me. The other day I was just thinking of the water ice stand on Fox Street next to the store. Marie Pastore and Dolores Vasso were my buddies at the time. Hello to anyone who remembers me, Selma .

I was in Miss Pelligrino’s 2nd grade class at Saint Mary’s and the news coming over the intercom that the President had been shot. We were all sent home early. I remember walking into the house and seeing my mother crying. The next few days the television was full of images of the casket, Mrs. Kennedy and those beautiful children stoically being displayed for the world to see, but we all needed to cling to those images to get through the horror of what had happened.

I was in fifth period math class at J.W. Hallahan when the announcement came over the loud speaker that our president had been shot . We were dismissed early and when I got home I turned on our black and white T.V. and watched and cried as Walter Cronkite finally told the american people that he had died.
