12/02/08 08:21 PM #125     Roy Rosenberg I just got off the phone with the former Debbie Helfand -another marathon conversation. You don't talk for 40 years and then you can't stop talking. On the call, we came up with an interesting topic - people we went to school with but who didn't graduate with us. I thought it might be interesting to make a list and I'll start with 3 names - Jeff Campbell, Marty Rabach and Linda Larris? Do you remember any of them and can you add more names to the list? Also, do you remember anything about any of these people? Just one more thing to jog our minds!!!

12/02/08 08:27 PM #126     Bruce Glover Roy , What a fascinating subject , People We Went to School With But Didn't Graduate With. I am sorry to say that the aforementioned Jeff Cambell got in trouble with the law and if memory serves me is deceased .

12/02/08 10:56 PM #127     Jacob Fishman Gary Mathews didn't graduate with us. In high school he worked for Del Insko, the trotter trainer/driver at Roosevelt Raceway; then he got a license to drive and train and worked at Monticello Race Track for a while. The last I spoke with him-2 or 3 years ago, he was training horses at a track in Maryland. I think trotters, not thoroughbreds. Gary loved the horses and growing up with the echo of Fred Cappisella calling races at Belmont only increased his interest. I have great memories of going to the track with him, hanging out, playing ball, racing bicycles, picking mushrooms with his grandfather along Belt Parkway, and on and on. I grew up with him-he was my "back-t0-back" neighbor.

12/03/08 08:04 AM #128     Joanne Dickstein (Deutch) I remember a girl who didn't graduate, I don't remember her name. But she came to graduation with a baby in a stroller. Anybody know who she was?

12/03/08 10:24 AM #129     Carol Montagino (Stein) I remember Linda Larris. We used to be good friends before High School. She had a pair of younger twin sisters. I used to go to her house often, and vice versa. Johanna Manfredi, she did not graduate with us, and she dropped out early in her senior year. Her name appears on the "Classmates Profiles" list, and should be amended. She had a child in 1969. Last I heard, she is residing on the west coast of FL, and driving a school bus. Lyn Turner, She dropped out of HS in her junior year. I used to be friendly with her. Last I heard, she is also residing on the west coast of FL. Cathy Seminera, She left EMHS when she moved to Huntington in either 10th or 11th grade. She was trying to make it to our 40th reunion, but due to her unfortunate bout with breast cancer, was unable. Although she is doing well, and her overall prognosis is good, please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.

12/03/08 10:30 AM #130     Sabina Musci I just remembered - Diane Falasco. I think she moved in 10th grade.

12/03/08 05:39 PM #131     William Salmansohn I don't even remember if they started EMHS with us, but from Alden Terrace, I was good friends with Jeffrey Tabak and Bruce Blank. I know that Bruce moved to Woodmere with his gorgeous sister (and his parents of course) Their family owned "Paragon Sports" in the city, and I believe still do. What about Robert Porscher and Mike DiGaudio? Any whereabouts? I was never to Belmont, didn't know anyhting about it and am shocked of the amount of adventures that some of you had there. Sounds pretty cool.....also where is Phyllis "i need a nosh" Menlowe. After really meeting her for the first time at the Reunion she has disappeared...pls come back, I miss you. Jacob, you should have your own show and I think Jan Oxenberg could help, or maybe someone else form our class that is in Hollywood....Walt Kubiak does animation. Hey Roy--- I have a subject for you--how about all of the kids that were tortured "emotionally" by us and others and finally ask their forgiveness. I know I was totally an asshole with Susan Packer and Paula Sugarnman and Ricky Kaplan. I did e-mail Susan who is on classmates and apologized..... OK- here's a name George Cvitlik, I used to walk around with him drinking wine from a brown bag on the streets of Elmont in 11-12th grade, and then "who knows"...... Last point- we are still collecting funds for classmates that need a little support in one way r another right now...if you know of anyome needing support, you can e-mail discreetly, and if anyone has resources to contribute, pls let me know......love you guys and gals Billy S ps: how many of us used to eat for lunch, the 3 chocolate chip cookies in the little plastic wrapper, the chocolate layer cake and ice cream and a milk.....?

12/03/08 05:47 PM #132     Carol Montagino (Stein) Loved those choc chip cookies. That very brand is still around, I see them from time to time. The packaging has changed a bit. I purchased some a few years ago, and it wasn't the same without them being served by the lunch ladies. I also loved the "sloppy Joes". I am probably the only person who attended EMHS who truly liked SJ's.

12/03/08 06:37 PM #133     Susan Leibenhaut For classmates that didn't graduate with us there was also Joe Feffer or Fieffer. He was at the last reunion. He was a big Mets fan (Shea Stadium memories). He usually sat in the back in classes and had a great sense of humor, tho this was not appreciated by the teachers.

12/03/08 06:48 PM #134     Joanne Dickstein (Deutch) They were Linden cookies in the package. I loved them too and would eat them at Adelphi when I went to college, until I got violently ill on them and stopped at some house, a mansion, begging the old man if I could use his bathroom, he said no, so I threw up all over him and his lawn. I still remember him, his white sweater on his skinny body. Could never eat Linden cookies again.

12/03/08 09:29 PM #135     Roy Rosenberg Two more names to add to the list of "too bad they left too soon and missed all the fun": Debbie Helfand and I were mentioning Danny O'Neil. He was kind of a tough kid who went to Dutch Brdwy School with us but didn't ever make it to EMHS we think. I remember he got into a fight during lunch one day in the school yard (I think with David Lesser) and there was a fair amount of blood on the scene. Also, we went to high school with Jeff Copolla but I don't think he graduated with us. He lived in the first house next to the stores in Argo Village and was among the "tough crowd". Bill - I guess I should apologize to Margaret Gluck and shy little Laurel Beckley for childish nasty things I said way back when. Now I'm starting to feel all this guilt!!! One more thing about Ebinger's Chocolate Blackout Cakes. I printed off the recipe from the web site Susan Fogel put up and handed it to my wife. Much to my surprise, she said "Let's make this cake this weekend." If it turns out anything like memory serves me, I'll be taking your orders starting on Monday. Joanne - Your story has me cracking up. I can just picture you puking all over the old guy. You were probably caught somewhere between be sick to your stomach and laughing your _____ off! We need more of these stories. Who's next?! Hey, I remember Joe Feffer. He went to Dutch Brdwy School with us and lived on Fallon Avenue (2nd house in from Cerenzia Blvd). Little bit of a dorky guy but with a great sense of humor.

12/03/08 10:06 PM #136     Elyse Scerbo Some names I have been wondering about: Ronnie Yee, Suzanne Paige, Kathy Tuccio.

12/04/08 06:55 AM #137     Roy Rosenberg I just thought of another person. Whatever happened to Mark Kremer? He lived right across the street from Dutch Broadway School on Dutch Broadway. I remember that his father was either a doctor or a dentist. Boy, whoever came up with this "people who never graduated with us" had a great idea! Oh, wait a minute, that was me. Now to earn my keep, I guess I'll have to think of a few more names. Does anyone else remember Joel Silver's little 2 seat sports car from senior year? What ever happened to Joel Silver?

12/04/08 08:13 AM #138     Susan Baum (Schloss) OK--some more of whatever happened to...Robert Kleid? I went to his birthday party in 6th grade and for some reason put ice cubes down his back--!! Why? Don't know. Jeffrey Lean? He was at the last reunion, but not this one. Sabina--Hollis was Van Arsdel, I looked it up some time ago. In about 5th or 6th grade, she brought in her tooth, root and all, to show everyone. I think she showed it in Dutch Broadway, in Mr. Hendrix's music class. Carol--who was Lyn Turner? I got mixed up between her and Lyn Fatcher,whom I knew. Roy--Laurel Beckley was very shy indeed, but she was a fantastic artist. She used to draw only animals, and was talented beyond her years. Susan L--I think Joe Feffer was friends with Seth Wittner--I remember them always talking baseball.

12/04/08 09:20 AM #139     Sabina Musci Billy - Mike DiGaudio lives near Tampa. I found that out from Danny Patrey whom I was able to get in touch with through this wonderful web site. Susan/Roy - Laurel Beckley lived two houses away from me. When I was in first grade her mother used to take care of me after school (my mother worked for Dr. Friedenthal at the time). Laurie loved animals. When we played games she always had to be an animal. All the books in her room (and she had a lot) were all about animals. She became very withdrawn as she got older. She wouldn't even say hello to any of her neighbors. When I would say hello to her in the hallway at school, she acted like she didn't know me. Very strange because we were so close as kids. Her parents even took me on a trip to Boston with them. One year, for her birthday, her father took a group of us kids into the city to see a puppet show. By the way, her father used to be on a TV program, local news I think. That reminds me.... Bobbie Ebert lived nextdoor to Laurie. Does anyone know when or how he passed away?

12/04/08 10:45 AM #140     Susan Baum (Schloss) Sabina-- I remember Laurel's mother--an attractive lady with red hair in a French twist. I think Laurel had two older brothers, is that correct? I wonder what happened to her.

12/04/08 11:02 AM #141     Sabina Musci Laurie did have two older brothers and I think they may have gone to Sewanhaka with my sister (Elmont wasn't built until the year after my sister graduated). Her brother Mike became a policeman. I think the older brother's name was Patrick. I really don't know what became of any of them. I'll check with my sister and find out if she ever heard anything.

12/04/08 01:44 PM #142     Sabina Musci Maybe some of you who went to Dutch Broadway remember Bonnie Rosenberg. She lived around the block from me, a few houses down from Laurie Beckley and Bobbie Ebert. She died when we were kids, maybe around eight yrs. old. Her mother was the crossing guard at Dutch Broadway for years.

12/04/08 03:41 PM #143     Susan Baum (Schloss) I remember Bonnie Rosenberg! It was my first year in Elmont,1957-58, and I think she was friends with Jeff Rosenberg, and with me as well. She had a "hole in her heart" and, sadly, died.On the operating table. I was so shocked, that I couldn't process it. A kid my age could die!

12/04/08 04:45 PM #144     Joanne Dickstein (Deutch) I knew the Kramers well (Mark Kramer) My parents were friends with Mark's parents. In High School, I had a dance school at my house and taught the kramer girls (charged 50cents each student) Dolly Kramer-Marks mother lives in East Hampton and Marl, I think worked for L.I. Lighting (or whatever it is called now) . Their house was at the corner by Dutch B'way. Denise & Eric Germaine's mom, Millie, was a crossing guard at Dutch B'way also. She has a summer house near me and lives in Boca during the winters. If any of you remember her, she was a knock out beauty and guess what, she still is! I saw her this past summer at Jacobs Pillow Dance Festival There was a girl I was very friendly with at Dutch B'way,Veronica, she moved away after 6 grade. She had blonde curls and freckles, anybody remember her?

12/04/08 05:11 PM #145     Ellen Deutsch (Riseman) I remember Bonnie Rosenberg as well - I think she was in 1st or 2nd grade when she passed away. At the time, I sometimes spent recess with her and Laurel Beckley. It was devastating to hear that Bonnie had passed away. That would probably be routine surgery now. I always wondered if that is the event that triggered Laurel to become more and more withdrawn. She seemed never to be the same after that. Also, I remember Phys Ed in 9th grade and the girl in front of me when we had to sit in rows in the gym at the beginning of class got pregnant and wore a cardigan sweater over her gymsuit - and didn't have to participate any longer - then one day she no longer showed up. I have no idea who it was, but it wasn't Hollis because I was friends with her in elementary school and used to play at her house sometimes. Anyone remember? The concept of being pregnant at that age was so foreign to me, like, who would want to do THAT?

12/04/08 07:55 PM #146     Susan Baum (Schloss) Joanne--are you talking about Veronica Hoffman? She was a sweet pretty girl with blonde hair and freckles. She was in Mr. Bishop's class with us in sixth grade. That's the only Veronic I know of. Ellen D--I know that Bonnie could not have passed away until third grade, because I didn't move to Elmont until the summer of '57, and it was between '57-58, during third grade, that she died. Carol--what did Lyn Turner look like? The name is so familiar, but I just can't picture her!

12/04/08 08:02 PM #147     Roy Rosenberg OK folks, now we're in for some fun because I just came across my 6th grade autograph album from Dutch Brdwy School. Yes, I'm am a pack rat for some things. So here are more people who we knew but never graduated with: Julie Friedman (who was Secretary of the 6th grade class), Donald Mills (a real nice guy who for some reason reminded me of Donald Duck - was that too mean to say?), Douglas Grover, Jeff Berman, Ricky Chambliss, Karen Sperber, Barbara Falk, Mark Sklar, Barry Moskin, Cliff Haber, Joseph Danna, John Eckert, Kenny Gray, Amy Seldin, Harvey Hodz, Mike St. John - that's 16 people. Some of them I can remember very well, some vaguely and some with "Who the hell was that person". I'm sure some of these names will bring back even more memories!

12/04/08 08:47 PM #148     Carol Montagino (Stein) Roy--I went to the Dutch B'way 6th grade prom with Mike St John. A really nice kid, and a gentlemen. I believe that his dad was in the military and that the St John family moved around quite a bit. Kenney Gray lived on Carolina Street. Although I hung out with him in the 6th grade, I do not have any memory of him after the 6th grade.
