Subject: Re: Hello from one of your elders! (class of '75) Author: Helen [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 07:14:48 09/07/02 Sat In reply to: Brina Rood-Sinker 's message, "Hello from one of your elders! (class of '75)" on 00:44:57 08/30/02 Fri I feel left out having grown up on Pleasant Street. I dont know that side of town!! But we had Tip Top on Railroad Ave. when we walked to Summit Street School. I vividly reemmber that! I used to play in the orchestra with Alan, so am happy to hear he is doing well! I still play bass, a little with the middle school band in South Hero where I teach k-8 French, but I mostly sing now (usually contemporary Christian music with a group out of Community Lutheran in S. Burlington and with Tim)!! Did anyone work on creating the Discovery Museum?? I read that Dick Emerick died a week or so ago. I remember painting the shutters with Mark when we were putting it together!! [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> Subject: Re: Singing--Helen! Author: Brina [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 21:58:17 09/07/02 Sat Helen, hi! I am glad you mentioned Mr. Emerick, Susie and Mark's dad. He died last week in CT. Susan and I are still in touch. I have her e-mail address if you want to write to her or Mark. You probably also know that Laurie Friedman's older sister Debbie died last week (both obituaries were in the same day). Sad. I read the Free Press online every morning as well as the San Francisco papers and the NYTimes; it's part of waking up. So glad to hear you're singing, and teaching French--formidable! Coincidentally, my sister just gave me this far-out CD of Camp Hochelaga Songs...and you're on there...I didn't even know you were a 'Laga girl! When did you go? We always went the first two weeks' session, in June, before they had sprayed for mosquitoes. It was quite torturous really for a person like me who hates bugs, but part of camp was great too. I went from the time I was 5 years old every summer til I was 11. Anyway, I saw your name on the CD. So you're a famous recording artist, giggle... Ken, thanks for your reminiscences, too. I remember a lot of the people who lived over in Indian Acres as I spent my first 11 years in that neighborhood, then moved to Maple Street where we lived in a duplex behind Anna Aguirre's house (20A Maple). I was always a pianist but obviously didn't play in the garage bands. I did spend time listening to them though, esp. the guys older than me who had a group they eventually called Meerschaum: Kevin Martin, Greg Bowen, Lewis Keene, Joe Scannella, sometimes Dan Bills and Jerry Mendicino. And of course I heard the bands Sybil, Heavy Feather, and the McElroy Brothers at Essex Jct. dances. Anyone want to write about those dances?!?!?!?! That would be an interesting thread!!!!!
