Dear Dot:
Sorry to hear about Jan, he was a nice guy. Small world. But it’s kind of hard to tell from your pic if I know you. Did you go to SSJA? The only Dorothy I remember is Dorothy Fleck. I still live in QV on 220th and 100th Ave. There was a girl who lived on the corner of 100th Ave and 222nd street back in the days. Well not exactly on the corner but in the house next to the corner house on 222nd and 100thAve. That wasn’t you was it? Maybe not. But I wouldn’t doubt that our paths crossed. Do you remember Mr. Schumachers pet shop on the avenue across from the A&P I used to work there as a kid helping him out with the store, I was about 12 or 13 years old. Toss some names at me maybe we did cross paths.
Be safe.
And By the way…Dorothy from Oz…I remember Lynn Gallaudet & Kathleen Egan from Andrew Jackson. I also went to school with Kathleen at SSJA. I saw your photos posted. Also Ann Abrusci who I mentioned as AnnieA. in the above post was in my class as SSJA.
My family came to QV in the 1920’s and as a kid growing up in the late 50’s through the 60’s I fondly remember the Community Theatre. From the slapstick of the Three Stooges to the Horror and Sci-Fi films that we used to see there, it was truly a great experience. At the Queens Theatre my fondest memory was when the Munsters came (Grand Pa, Eddie, Herman) for the opening of Munster Go Home. The only person that I remember who worked at the Queens was a guy by the name of Jan. He was actually a friend to Joe Duffy but got us in to see some movie back then. When I attended SSJA (1961-1969) we went to the Queens Theatre as a class a couple of times. AnnieA. says it was the Miracle of Marcelino; I had always thought that it was Francis of Assisi. No matter. But those were truly the good old days. I think both movie theatres eventually went over to XXX though…pity…QV could use a revival. I don’t even go to the theatres anymore. I’ll wait for the DVD and call it a day. I went to the theatre in Bellrose, right off from the Cross Island Parkway only once. That was in I think ‘73. I went there to see Love Story with my girl friend at the time, Collette. That was the only time I was in that theatre that I can remember, but it was pretty nice. Also the Argo on Hempstead, across from Belmont Park Race Track, I went there a couple of times with my parents back in the 60’s. QV still has a little magic left in it, if you know where to look.
Dot
Did you go to Bishop Riley H.S.?
