- looking for old school friends -- Gloria (Valenti) Denaro, 10:34:29 03/09/03 Sun (cache-dl07.proxy.aol.com/205.188.209.43)
Where are children (now seniors) from P.S. 114 around, 1946 or 1947. Does anyone know, Frank Dantona, we used to walk home from school together, (he was a nice guy). What about Frances Pepitone, Josephine Mazza, Theresa Cocchiola, Marilyn White, Catherine Bruno, Gaspare Marone,(all classmates). I lived in Canarsie up until 1989, now live in N.J. My husband, Jim Denaro, died in 1992. I have 2 children and 4 grandchildren. Canarsie was so wonderful back in the old days. Remember the victory gardens we used to plant on the school grounds. Any girls remember miss Benton the cooking teacher. (she was sure tough). I used to live on Flatlands ave. and E. 86 st. The Valenti's, the family had 4 girls and 5 boys, anyone remember us. We used to play baseball in the empty lots next to our house. Cleto Ardito had a grocery store right next to us, and remember Mr. Frank, the other grocery store. Anyone remember the Log Cabin, the ice cream parlor on Flatlands Avenue, it was so cute.

- Canarsie Stick Ball -- Paul Viverito, 06:45:31 01/21/09 Wed (173.224.33.65.cfl.res.rr.com/65.33.224.173)
I've been reading about the game of stickball in "Street Play" and I haven't seen any mention of stick ball in Canarsie. It's my contention that the game of Stick Ball was started in Canarsie. I remember playing stickball on the corner of 94th St. and Conklin Ave back in 1940 or 41. I'd be interested in any comments from others that played stick ball in Canarsie. There is a "Stick Ball Hall of Fame" and at present, as far as I know Canarsie nor anyone from Canarsie has been given any credit for starting or being involved in the game of Stick Ball.

- Memories from '48, '49 -- Dalmacio A. Fenwick, 00:09:30 08/07/01 Tue (spider-tl071.proxy.aol.com/152.163.207.206)
This website is a real shocker. Can't believe this. I remember Canarsie with reeds, quicksand, the dump about a mile away where we gathered metal watch bands, tree huts. How about Mrs. McDermott at PS 242 and the Sisters at Holy Family and don't forget Father ? who always wanted more from that cruet with the wine. Flatlands Avenue
Hope all of you are doing well for yourselves and have great families: James Noble, Joyce Evans, Alan Birnbaum, Timothy Collins, Steve and Mike Calavetta and all the rest. James, remember, we first watched TV at your house.
Say hello if any of you see this. - Best wishes.

Napoli's Bakery -- Lauren, 15:12:00 06/04/06 Sun (ool-44c33b4d.dyn.optonline.net/68.195.59.77)
My grandparents owned Napoli's Bakery in the early 50's, on Rockaway Parkway. I'm searching for some old pictures or stories. I thought maybe the Canarsie Courier would have something in thier archives. My Nana Adele (Lily) passed away 5 years ago, so the stories are buried with her. If anyone has a memory they would like to share, please do... I heard my Nana was very generous with the samples.
Thanks.
Sincerely,
Lauren Moretti

- Granddaughter of Affenits --(Afenitas/Affenitis-- Affenitos orinignally) -- Caitlin Ellis, 18:37:06 11/13/04 Sat (69-174-7-196.chvlva.adelphia.net/69.174.7.196)
Hello, I'm on this message board in the hopes of perhaps gaining contact with my third cousins, uncles to my grandfather, who was an Affenit. They, all 13 of them, were Affenitas, also known as the Canarsie Affenitas because of the affiliation..
My grandfather has recently visited and I learned of all this family history I never knew of, and was instantly curious.. I would like to see if any of my extended relatives are still alive and able to contact me. If anyone knows of them, their relatives, etc., please contact me at my e-mail address. Thank you!

Believe it or not I somehow saved a picture thats 48 years old.It's framed and has about 20 signatures on the back, most of which I can read. My problem is I would love to make contact with everybody in the picture except I can't remember most of their names. So if you appear in this photo or have knowledge of anybody in it PLEASE contact me. I don't think I will hear from Dr Brodi the principal and how many of you remember MRS HAMBURGER.
