I was so excited in finding this web page. I have been trying to track down an old friend who I haven't seen since Thomas Jefferson High school years. We graduated in 1973 and her name was Margie Rogriquez then. She may be married by now and all I can remember was her parents lived in White Plains, N.Y. To all those Brooklynites out there: I need help, Margie was my best friend. I also lost my high school year book, I need help in getting a new one. I now live in the Bay Area of San Francisco but I sure miss the N.Y. pizza but most of I miss the night life. I left Brooklyn in 1980 and haven't been back, so you out there continue the stories and keep in touch because I have stories of my own to tell about the good old days.

My graduating class from James Madison High School (Flatbush) numbered almost 1000. Since few of us stayed in the old neighborhood, it occurred to me that I could probably go to any city or large suburb in the eastern United States where Jews congregate (delis or other food emporia) and identify colleagues, merely by saying, "anyone know...when the fans of Madison gather anywhere...." This has worked successfully in West Hartford, CT, Philadelphia, Washington DC and even in Florence Italy. Of course, it helps that I have been able to keep my glorious Brooklyn accent intact,even after 30 years.

Does anyone remember the Cub-O-Ral?
These were held in Prospect Park each Spring, and were competitions between the various Cub Scout troops in Brooklyn. (Some Bklyn. Cub packs were 568, 99, 237, . . . ?)
