Shelley:

In response to your question about Danny Epstein, he did graduate from Heights in 1968 and I located him in my husband's 40 year reunion. He lives in Cambrige MA and he e-mail is at Harvard. Let me know if you want address, phone and e-mail.

Bonnie:I too feel out of the loop since I wasn't in vocal or instrumental. After playing the violin at Taylor and Wiley, I could only do for 10th grade and then gave it up. Not my favorite activity and I gave the violin to my nieces because I threatened to use it as a holder for dried flowers.

Does anyone from Taylor have a fifth grade picture to post? I moved to Cleveland Heights in October and remember that I had Mrs. Gleanson (I think). Can't remember if that was before class pictures. I was in Bob's sixth grade picture and would love to know the names of everyone as the brain is foggy after so many years. Help!

Bob,
WOW!!!! What a memory!!! I'm impressed!! (Did you have the names written on the back or something?)
I hope to get my photos sent to Val this weekend.

I'm sorry to hear that Tiny passed away. She was in Mrs. Reese's homeroom with me at Roosevelt.

Bob Kinstlinger Hi Anne, Funny how the memory does or doesn't work. I can remember my elementary school classmates, but have to pull teeth to remember who was in my high school homeroom.

I'm going to go ahead and attempt to put names on the class pictures that I'm putting on Photo Albums. So if anyone wants to go ahead and send in names, be my guest.. Wherever you see a question mark, maybe someone out there will be able to fill in the blanks..

Cheryl Wine (Newman) Cheryl Newman (Wine) Bob - It's Cheryl Wine not Weinberg. I remember Mr. Wheeler blowing kisses at me and when I aked him what he was doing he said he had poppy seeds between his teeth! What a lech. We learned next to nothing that year except the melody to Alley Cat.

Hi Val,

Fantastic job posting all of the old class photos. Thanks for your efforts. I'll be seraching around this weekend to find Belvior 5th grade with Mr. O'Roarke - definitely my best elementary year - and 6th grade with Mr. McDonald.

I have most of the names for the Belvior 3rd and 4th grade classes that I was in. I'll send them to your other message box to avoid taking up so much room here.

The blond kid in the front rows is David Stovsky, not David Goldstein. David S. lived around the corner from me and his dad was a dentist with a home office. David G. didn't come to Belvior until about 5th grade, I think.

Somewhere I have some photos taken the weekend of the 20th reunion, the only one I attended. When they turn up I'll send them along.

By the way, a couple of your older sisters (Penny and Althea) used to babysit for me and my brother when we were young. I think our mom's knew each other through some organization.

Val Iberall (O'Connor)

Thanks Francie. I remember you very well. I didn't remember the connection though, I just wrote to my mom to ask her if she remembers you and your parents. You've been very helpful, I really appreciate it. And definitely if you have any reunion pictures that would be great. I was actually there. I know I screwed up on some names, but all in all, I remembered quite a few. But, I knew all you guys will back me up and set the record straight! Thanks again.

01/31/09 12:26 PM	#373
Bob Kinstlinger Cheryl, my apologies for making a change to your last name. Bonnie, thanks for filling in the ?. I should have remembered your pic. Val, I'll fill in some of the blanks on the Taylor Rd. 3rd grade picture. I'll send you an email.

Anyone else have good memories of Euclid Beach Park? Every summer our synagogue would have annual picnic there. We would have an all day pass, and ride all the rides. Not quite as good as Disneyland, but the closest thing to it when we were young. Our favorite thing was the racing ponies, and over the falls...By the time we went there, Lake Erie was already polluted, and swimming was off limits.

Well...of course the best part of Euclid beach was the taffy and popcorn balls. I was more than delighted to find them on sale at Gales (a nursery, I think out on Som Center). My family thought I was nuts when THAT was their "souvenir" from my trip to Ohio.

I remember taking the bus to Euclid Beach back in the day when we all took public transportation all over Cleveland (to the stadium, downtown, etc).

They also had "town days" at Euclid Beach when your town got very reduced admission. I remember waiting for THAT...

And remember Cedar Point BEFORE it became "trendy"?

Tom Mart Euclid Beach closed the year we graduated. The taffy and popcorn balls were great; my personal favorite was the frozen custard. Other memories include the racing coaster. There is a website dedicated to Euclid Beach http://www.euclidbeach.com/

Tom...there is a great place on Mayfield up in Mayfield Heights called East Coast Custard. The frozen custard there tastes the same to ME as the frozen custard at Euclid Beach (might be the same recipe or something). It's outstanding. I make it my business to go there at least once on my summer trips to Cleveland. I think it's not open all winter though.

Hmmm...Jim...can we have a Euclid Beach Frozen custard dessert bar at the reunion??? I wonder if East Coast Custard does that sort of thing.

I have very fond memories of Euclid Beach. Since my dad worked for GE we always went on GE Day. We would get those flimsy cardboard passes that you tied around a button on your shirt (my mother wouldn't allow us to wear T-shirts) and we would ride all the rides for free. Favorites were the Racing Coasters, Laff in the Dark, the Fun House (with that creepy woman laughing by the entrance) and the Rotor. Good times.

Ahhh.... Euclid Beach...

Shelly you are correct. I have met the gentleman who owns the Brunswick (just over the line in Medina County) franchise for East Coast Custard and he told me that they have the E.B. recipe. Sure tastes like it to me.

BTW, Shelly, he stays open year 'round. Pearl Road just North of Rt 303. I'm hooked.

Also, Bill, "Laughing Sal" was saved and occasionally shows up at a convention in the area.

Speaking of Cleveland conventions...They just had a Ghoulardi convention recently at a local hotel... Wasn't able to make it but I did pick up a copy of a paperback titled "Ghoulardi, Inside Cleveland TV's wildest ride."

Fun stuff... I still remember laughing at the really BAD movies... "Attack of the Crab Monsters"... "From Hell It Came"... "Dr. Cyclops"

Scott...

"Laughing Sal." She really creeped me out.

I also have the same Ghoulardi book which is quite good. That was really a good show. If you couldn't talk about the movie Monday morning at school you were really un-cool. I remember reading that at the height of Ghoulardi's popularity Cleveland's juvenile crime rates Friday nights actually dropped. All the kids were home watching the show.

Hi Bill...

There was definitely something sinister about ol' Sal

Shelley, I have spent my life looking for that Taffy! Every year we go to the Smoky Mountains and I see the taffy there, and I always try the ones with the yellow or white wrappers thinking this could be it..but it never is. Why is it that only one peson in history knew how to make great taffy? And it's gone now forever?
