Subject: canarsie

my ol thread has gone so here i am again. ps 276 1969-bildersee 72 and would be south shore 75.....Id like to see fotos of you all..mine are online at <a rel=nofollow target=_blank href="http://picasaweb.google.com/levihello">http://picasaweb.google.com/levihello</a>
me my wife kids mom inlaw mom etc.
Canarsie was great .I dont recall deciding to leave but i fuess we each ran off in a diff direction after what we saw as a good life. 30 years later we stop and look back thinking our friends are right behind us, but no..They too ran off after balloons. Internet creates the idea of finding x friends and as well satisfies that need.....I think thatchildhood is a great time and canarsie was fantastic.However i never understand why my kids need a 250 dollar playstation when I was happy with a buck spalding.Why i wore levis and chuck taylors and they still do. Why i listened to jagger and they do too.My parents worked hard so i could have a better life however i went 6 years to university but I stillwork hard too so my kids can have an even better life.What exactly is A Better Life? my kids will grow up in a better house but be no happier than i was as a kid.Mayve we should have stayed on 80th street!!Sittin on that stoop was enough . Never shouls have walked down those stairs off to college...Today we live in jersey, long island miami LA and me in spain...Class 9-1 bildersee 1972....ps donate money to keep this webpage alive...open a paypal account and transger from yours ro greggs..... still looking for a gwen sherman from 82nd near faragut. she went to 114 bildersee sshs and brooklyn college. wore glasses .Anyway, ill be in canarsie summer 07 as i pass newark to long island.,
