Steve Goldbloom

Sarita--> Had a son, then identical twin girls.

Derek--> Had a daughter, then identical twin boys.

(Some kind of wonderful symmetry at work here.)

Lyra--> Had a son, then a daughter.

(Still working at integrating her into her siblings' symmetries)

Also See Facebook--> "Steve Goldbloom" (Reducing redundancy is my passion? Nah, just laziness.) What have I been "up to" since 1959? Up to 6'3".

Every day I would go to school (less the days I cut). Sometime during each day, I'd eat lunch (always two turkey sandwiches on white bread and a kosher pickle (always) ). And when the final bell rang, I was here, there, everywhere (in those day, you could do that). Can you believe there were no smart (or dumb) cell phones? No personal PCs? No cable TV? No GPS's in the cars few of us had? Unreal.

We graduated in 1959 (makes sense, "Class of '59"); back then, Forest Park High School looked just like a set from an old Andy Hardy movie, what with its beautiful red brick walls covered with four stories of ivy, its fortress-like towers guarding the four-story tall roof... girls in skirts or dresses, guys in neatly pressed pants, some wearing ties, many with jackets... truly, some things never change.
