Subject: looking for old school friends

Where are children (now seniors) from P.S. 114 around, 1946 or 1947. Does anyone know, Frank Dantona, we used to walk home from school together, (he was a nice guy). What about Frances Pepitone, Josephine Mazza, Theresa Cocchiola, Marilyn White, Catherine Bruno, Gaspare Marone,(all classmates). I lived in Canarsie up until 1989, now live in N.J. My husband, Jim Denaro, died in 1992. I have 2 children and 4 grandchildren. Canarsie was so wonderful back in the old days. Remember the victory gardens we used to plant on the school grounds. Any girls remember miss Benton the cooking teacher. (she was sure tough). I used to live on Flatlands ave. and E. 86 st. The Valenti's, the family had 4 girls and 5 boys, anyone remember us. We used to play baseball in the empty lots next to our house. Cleto Ardito had a grocery store right next to us, and remember Mr. Frank, the other grocery store. Anyone remember the Log Cabin, the ice cream parlor on Flatlands Avenue, it was so cute.

>Hello Gloria,
My name is Katrina, Im writing you in regards to you posting from the 1940's Canarsie. My grandmothers maiden name was Frances pepitone...however she was too old to have attended school with you..but my father (Gregory Borruso) wasn't, he was born in "37". they lived on 83rd and flatlands in canarsie. Unfortunately they have both past away but I am always interested in hearing stories about them before I came along. If you remember either of them or have any stories/pictures I would love to hear about it.
Sincerely Yours,
Katrina Borruso

Hi Gloria, My Name is Sal I went and graduated from P.S.114 in 1946. I don't remember you but I KNEW A LOT OF PEOPLE WHERE YOU LIVED. In fact my first girlfriend Marie Bologna came from there. I Also knew Jimmy Rangelli who graduated with me came from there. Marie's mom and dad used to own one of the grocery stores, maybe that was Frank I don't remember. I remember the bazaar every year at our Lady of Miracles church. I knew the Alfanos, the Gerbinos, the Mangipanis. What year did you graduate, my wife Lenora Crapanzano and cousin Marie DeLorenzo graduated in 1948. I would like to hear from you being that we have so much in common. Sal
