A place to share memories of our elementary school in The Bronx and make plans for an informal get-together, a reunion, in the fall of 2009. We haven't changed that much in 39 years, have we?

GRADUATION PICTURES
HERE ARE THE PHOTOS THAT TOMMY GILBERT EMAILED US THOUGHT WE COULD KEEP THEM ALL TOGETHER ON THE BLOG.
Hey All, John Santora here. Boy was I a skinny and blind guy back then. Now I'm only blind. After OLA, I went to Cathedral Prep in Manhattan for four years, Cathedral College in Douglaston for a year, and Lehman College for three years -BA in Business. (Later on I got a BS in Accounting, and an MBA). I met my future wife (Mary) at the end of High School and have been married since 8/16/80 (3 years to the day after Elvis' disappearance/death. We have 3 children: Elizabeth (25), Joseph (22), and Christopher (18). They are all still at home - (Ugh) After college, I went into defense and worked at Fairchild Republuc, United Technologies, and am now chief scheduler at a Northrop Grumman division in Bethpage Long Island I play guitar and piano at our local church (Just like with St . Marguerite in OLA). My brother, Peter, still tours with a Beatlemania group, and lives up in Kingston. Mom just turned 92, and lives 2 blocks away from me in Bayside Queens. I like the beach and golf, and get to see Tommy and Judye Judge every once in a while. I look forward to hearing from and seeing you all (If I put my tri-focals on). John
Hey John Good to hear from you. I also have 3 kids (2 boys and a girl). The oldest just graduated from Northeastern in Boston and is also working for the defense department @ the Portsmouth Naval Yard in Maine. Fortunately for him, unlike his mother, he does not mind the cold. My daughter is a sophomore @ Florida Atlantic University. We just got back from a wedding down there and I am more convinced than ever that I need to live in the south. My youngest will be graduating high school this June and is off to one of the SUNY schools. He hasn't decided which one yet. So we will be empty nesters. I remember running into you and Tommy Judge a few times during our high school years. It will be great to see you. Mary Anne
