I also found this web site by accident and I've been sitting, reading and enjoying the photos for the past hour. To read the names and look at the photos brings me right back to the good old days.

Paul Gannon who was also a 1957 grad passed away in September of 2008. He was living in Utah for the past 30 years.

I have contact with Frank Desmond, Joe Norton and Tom Allen. I retired from the East Orange Police Dept. in 1991 after reaching the rank of Lieutenant. My wife and I live in Stanhope, N.J. and have two children and three grand children. Drop a line and Keep the Faith!

Dan, Sorry I don,t remember you but I was wondering if you could tell Frank I said hi. I think of the Desmond family often.We lived upstairs from them on Grove Street. Tommy was my first love I think maybe we were five when we decided we would get married. He still has a special place in my heart. Anyway thanks for passing it on . Kathy

Hello Kathy W.T. and Tommy G.,
Nice to hear from you both. Kathy are you Tommy Washington's sister by chance? If so, he and my brother Shaun were good buddies back in the old days.

Tommy G. you were quite a fun guy when we were growing up. Didn't you have a gas station years later on the corner of William & Lincoln? I also remember your brother Jay.
My son lives in Lake Worth, not to far from where you stay in Florida. I'm still in N.J., Stanhope.

I'll be seeing Frankie Desmond in the near future for dinner with his and my wife and Kathy I'll pass on the "Hello". Frank's brother Tommy was a good kid and also a friend of mine.

Please keep in touch. Happy New Year!

I remember Ruth McKeon. She lived on 16th Street. I lived on 17th Street. We were best friends in 7th and 8th grades. One night I walked her half way home and we stopped in front of Vera's restaurant to continue talking. Whatever we were talking about we laughed so hard that we p'd our pants. Whatever happened to Ruth? Do you know?
