Wowww… Thanks to my brother Bob Dittus, I have learned about this website and the SFP / St. Paul’s reunion. January 16th – 19th, 1975 was the St. Paul’s weekend that many of us attended – including Joe Kuceluk (leader). John Kiely, Kathy Kennedy, and I were at the same discussion table. Peter Koch, weren’t you at this weekend too? Wasn’t there a moment when we sang “On for Old St. Francis?”

Mike Daley, where is he living in Florida? Kathy (Kennedy) and I are now married for 25 years and have 6 children ranging from 21 to 8 years old. I am the Director of Admissions at Ave Maria University. You can contact me at

Rich D, remember Brother Thomas, our tennis coach and matches where you would drive us in a station wagon to Highland Park? Whatever happened to John Nowak?

My sister, Susan, graduated St. Nicholas High School in 1975. As mentioned, many of us from SFP went there for driver’s ed, dances, and participated in the school plays.

Pete Koch, whatever happened to the old gang on 37 ½ Dobbin Street – including Tony Yanni, Joe Kuceluk, and Jack McCabe?

My brother tells me things are really changing back in Greenpoint / Williamsburg – not quite the same old neighborhood.

I lived in Glendale (68th Street) from 1982 to 1992 and walked home via Mrytle Avenue from the LL train station. I can’t remember the old movie houses – except for the Rainbow on Graham Avenue in Williamsburg, the Grand, the Graham, the Arion in Middle Village where they had movies for $1.50 or $2 before it closed in the 1980s. Remember Eddie’s Sweet Shop near a theatre in Forest Hills – went to see ET there on February 25, 1983.
