06/17/09 04:50 PM #106     Kathy Staaf (Tucker) Hi Tim, How are you doing? The car shows on Thursday nights start around 6,but a lot get there before then. They are every Thursday all summer long. They have really fixed up the Beach a lot. The only negative thing is they charge for parking everywhere. It is .75 for a half hour. I only live up the hill from there so we go often. Maybe you can go when you come for the reunion.

06/17/09 06:55 PM #107     Donna Aber So Kathy sounds like we'll all park at your place..Sandy where do you get those beans, are they in the stores??I just looked on the net and you can order them, how cool is that. Hey John sounds like you got busted by Steve..shy???who you foolin>

06/17/09 07:43 PM #108     Tim Thomas Hi Kathy! Thanks for the info. I'll be in town a couple of weeks so going to check out this car show sounds like a great idea. Perhaps I can park at the spaghetti factory (if it's still there) and tromp over the bridge to it and save myself the price of a brew. lol! Is Eddie's still of the same quality? I'd heard that the origional owners finally called it quits and retired or something. I used to love their spaghetti dinners.

06/17/09 08:38 PM #109     Sandy Rudolph (Richman) Tim-about that bridge. My sister and I used to walk over it when it was just a wood slated bridge(that was over 50 yrs.ago). Our camp was on Third ave. not too far from the bridge and we'd each have a quarter to spend over on the midway. We'd get a frozen milkyway out of it for sure and maybe a ride or our fortune told by the old lady in the glass booth. Donna-Do you remember that little store on the corner of Forest Ave.? I think it was called Miningers-used to get lots of penny candy there.I loved growing up at the beach!

06/17/09 09:36 PM #110     John Brophy (Brophy) Obviously my desperate attempt to present a visage of quiet coolness in spite of my internal terrors of self conciousness was much more effective than I realized. LOL!

06/18/09 01:19 AM #111     Tim Thomas Sandy: Not being that old, I only recall the bridge before the one that stands now. lol! Actually I do remember the old bridge (did it really have wooden slats?)and we have a short 8mm film of it my father took alongside of the new one when they built it. That was big doings back then. I didn't know that you too were a beach bum. Did you know Jimmy Soriano? I had him in a few classes and home room during Jr. High. Don't recall him going to HS with us so wondered what happened to him. I also remember that fortune teller in the glass case at the Penny Arcade. Darn woman gave me some bad advice more than a few times. You'd think she would've been canned for all the lives she messed up. lol! Donna: Your mentioning of Jack Mowers stirred up some more memories for me. Of course he was still in that catatonic state in my reminisces too. The Penny Arcade was my favorite attraction down there when I was a kid. I recall sneaking coins into the slot of those machines to get post card like pictures of those loose women in those "daring" bikinis. Then we had to stuff them down our pants so our parents wouldn't catch us with them. Good catholic boys didn't have things like that....you will burn in hell! haha!

06/18/09 09:28 AM #112     Rob Kinsella From Steve Carney: I remember taking the bus to Sunset Lake in Sherrill everyday to swim swim swim. Come home sunburned and burnt out... everyday!! Remember when Gussies remodeled and The Imperials opened in the new room? Gus Panzica was amazed! We packed over 700 people in there that nite... what fun! And does anyone remember the Gaslight next to the bowling alley? OMG!!! What fun we had there blacklites and all... we'd pack 250-300 people in there and it was fire rated at 69 occupants!!!! hehe Anyhow, I love reminiscin to the old days of Oneida NY. hehehe.... so many stories.... =-)

06/18/09 09:52 AM #113     Rob Kinsella Where are the Pitmen? I know why the Bombers haven't used the web site much, I doubt they have discovered computers yet. But, seriously, the message forum is great, but I added a User Forum link so that we could create "threads" of conversions which would be easier to follow some of these conversations or to start one. Or not.

06/18/09 02:02 PM #114     Dennis King Rob, Ok,I used your user forum. Now lets see what kind of action we get on that site.

06/18/09 03:14 PM #115     Scott Walter Jim Soriono, works in vernon,new york at HP HOOD as a truck driver. Still a ass.

06/18/09 06:59 PM #116     Donna Aber My bad

06/18/09 07:36 PM #117     Sue Sochan (Welty) Dennis, What kind of action are you looking for anyways? Donna, Sounds good, lets all park at Kathy's and go to car night at the beach. We can all crowd in the picture booth again.

06/18/09 09:05 PM #118     Donna Aber LOL,I love THAT PICTURE BOOTH. TIM , I knew they had those kind of pictures, I thought maybe I was dreaming it,so thats where you guys got your idea of the perfect women.Steve I dont remember the rockin out party,I may have been gone at that time,or I would have been standing outside with Sue.

06/19/09 09:40 AM #119     Camille Spicer (Bach) Remember alot of parties at Cozy Corners and hoping not to accidently run into Sandy Rudolphs parents in the shape I was in. Her parents and my parents were good friends! There is now a lighthouse Society to help preserve that lighthouse!

06/19/09 10:41 AM #120     Sue Sochan (Welty) Cozy Corner.. I remember the name but where was it? Where is there a lighthouse at the beach??? Donna, I did find a picture of Stockbridge Falls....from 1939 lol I wonder if the school kids had parties there back then. Doubt it. I bet the 60's set the stage for underage drinking. How's everyone's liver function tests? lol

06/19/09 01:10 PM #121     Sandy Rudolph (Richman) Hi Camille, Glad to hear they're going to take care of that lighthouse. It was in terrible shape for years. We loved to sit on our front porch and watch the idiots late at night trying to drive thru the beach from CC-they'd always get stuck up to their bumpers and then grind away!! Usually they'd get a bunch of drunk friends to push them out.

06/19/09 01:57 PM #122     Tim Thomas Scott: Thanks for the update on Soriano. Yeah, he did have a knack for getting under peoples skin. lol! Donna: Yes, you may be right about those pictures supplying us with ideas. (I'll leave it there) But I've certainly (oh boy, brownie points galore here, especially if she's looking over my shoulder) found my perfect woman already. :) I recall the Gaslight too. It was a big hangout for my older brother and his cronies. I think it was closed down by the time we became of 'legal' drinking age though wasn't it? I'm with Sue on Cozy Corners. Heard about it but can't remember ever going there. Where exactly was it? Anyone remember Perryville Falls?

06/19/09 02:06 PM #123     Tim Thomas OOPS! I should've asked that question in the User Forum. Sorry Rob, I'll try to remember next time. :)

06/19/09 02:42 PM #124     Sue Sochan (Welty) Why should you ask that question in the user forum? I'm getting confused now. Rob, what happens to this site after the reunion?

06/19/09 06:05 PM #125     Donna Aber Im thinking it was right down from Sandy's camp.you could see the cannel.on this side of the bridge, not the cleanest beach, not like verona, but you didn't have to pay to park,swim, or picnic,some of that streach was for the campsites only as I remember. the lighthouse was there too, am I thinking right Sandy? who hung out at the tracks off Stickney road??I dont want to get confused so I'll stay here if thats ok.

06/19/09 06:39 PM #126     Sue Sochan (Welty) Tim, Sandy Rudolph told me Cozy Corners was a big make out place. Must be you and I didn't swap a lot of spit in high school. Donna, I may have been to the tracks a few times but can't recall where they were.. There is so many people not coming to the reunion. Doesn't anyone know anything about Ted Hanifan, Bill York, Larry Williams, Bob Siver, Doug Meyers, Bill Roberts, Mick Sansone(I heard he was in Las Vegas with Larry Winters),Joe Ariglio(Loved Riding around in his car). Did these people disappear?

06/20/09 04:11 AM #127     Tim Thomas I intend to try and get in contact with Larry Williams shortly. I believe Joe A. still is in Oneida running the Wagon Wheel? Cozy Corners must have been the make out spot for the Beach kids then. Why would we go that far to make out when there were so many other places closer to us that we could use? It still doesn't explain where it was. I recall tracks too but couldn't tell you today where they were either.

06/20/09 05:48 AM #128     Kathy Staaf (Tucker) Ted Hanifin and Ann live on Upper Lenox Avenue in Oneida and Larry Williams still lives in Oneida. Bob Siver lives on the Lake near Marion Manor which he used to own and I believe he sold to the Indians. The railroad tracks are on Stickney Road near the Thruway in Verona. It is now a dead end road. I remember going to Cozy Corners once. just to see what it was like. Where is silver car bridge? I think at the Beach somewhere. That would be awesome if we all went to car night at the Beach that Thursday night before the Reunion. Let me know so I can take Friday off.

06/20/09 10:27 AM #129     Sue Sochan (Welty) Happy Birthday to Joyce Holdridge Bush and Tim Thomas!

06/20/09 11:43 AM #130     Sandy Rudolph (Richman) Donna-You're close, CC was around the corner from our camp. It was just off of Forest Ave. on a dirt road,the canal was right off from there. Some people would park there and go swimming with their kids, not a good idea.My mom was paranoid about swimming over there, we always had to stay in front of the lighthouse to swim. When she was young two sisters got caught up in the tide over there and she saw them get pulled out-holding hands.We heard that story many times!
