| Comments: | Reply to Tom Collins: If you are the Tom Collins who lived on Seaview Ave near Cilco, and who went to Lincoln School, then yes, you are remembered. I mentioned your name to my older brother, Jay Sullivan, who also remembers you. Did you later work with our Dad, Jerry Sullivan, at the Jail on North Ave? |

| Comments: | Although I have been on your list to get your e-mails I am not a member (too young, but not that far behind). I enjoy looking thru it as my brother grad from Bullard Havens in 65 or 66 and my sister (who has passed) from Harding 68. It's nice to see names of some from Judson Place and Summerfield Church as well as others like my ex brother-in-law. Anyone remember Ernies on Grant and Seaview? My grandfather lived on Wilmot and we used to buy him the Sunday paper when we went to visit at Lupes on Stratford Ave. What about was it Publix grocery store and the Barnum movie theatre. |

I attend Warren Harding High School my second year of high school (1972) and had to transfer because of too many fights. Although I gratuated from Central High School 1975 I had many pleasant memories from Harding. I also stayed for some time with my Aunt Delores who lived in Father Panik Village. I met a wonderful person on Tagged (Louis (PeeWee) Stevens who referred me to this site and I am intrigued no doubt. I must pass this information on to my good buddy Matt Jones who I believe graduated from Harding High School and doing Great Things in Bridgeport for our youths in "Keeping Kids Off The Streets" |

| Comments: | Please read my entry, below. If anyone feels they would like to share their memories of Kenny with me, or provide me with some information, I would be most gratefull. Like: What was he like when he was in school? Do you know where his parents are burried? I would like to visit the cemetery sometime in the future because he always spoke of his mother and father with love. Any memories from "back-in-the-day" would be most welcome. Thank You. Daria |

| Comments: | I was a friend of the Very Reverend Father Stephen "Kenny" Karaffa (Harding Class of 1961). I'd like to share this information with you. He was a Russian Orthodox Priest and was attending a conference in Pittsburgh when he died of a heart attack. He had two grown children: daughter Laryssa who is married to a Russian Orthodox priest and has three children. Son Kevin lives near Allentown and has two children. I am sorry you did not know him as a Priest. The best way I can describe him is "He, an unworthy servant (as he many times called himself), did the Will of God with Humility." He was a true and wonderful Priest and had real calling from God. You could see it in all that he did. Kenny spoke about all of you all the time. He wanted to go back and relive those wonderful memories. Please fill me in on the "years gone by." After hearing so many things about yesterday, I feel as though I was there too. Please write back.

| Comments: | I was goggling something about Bridgeport and ran across this site – it was fun seeing some of the names I remember from years gone past. I attended Beardsley School through eighth grade (graduated in 57) and moved to Stratford where I attended High School. Bridgeport was a great place to grow up and I have pleasant memories – although school was not one of them as I never opened a book or cared about anything other than sports and having a good time. Fortunately, I learned the error of my ways and made sure my kids didn’t follow in my footsteps. In fact my son teaches in Bridgeport – I suspect the tallest first grade teacher in Bpt. if not the state @ 6’ 8”. I will advise my two sisters of this sight since they also attended Beardsley School, my older sister attended one year at Harding. |

Quite an honor and well deserved. Bob takes a lot of pride in growing up and playing ball on the East End of Bridgeport. There are also all the guys he played softball with through the years. The date is November 12th, 7:00pm at Liddells in Stratford Ct. The phone number is 203-375-2958. Call for tickets. How about the guys from Nick & Dicks -- 1971 Bridgeport City Champs -- would be great to see all of you there. In closing I thank you for reading this and hope to see as many of you as possible.

We lived on the corner of Brook & Pearl, one block behind the big Russian Church. My buddies & I used to cook potatoes behind the AP, movies on Saturdays (all day for 14cents), jump bushes & trees all along Brooks St.. I used to work at Louie Licamelle's drug store up on Boston Ave. across from the "Green". He gave me a free pint of ice cream every Sunday; wow, what a bonus! That C&RL bus line was our means to the rest of the world! And yes, I do remember the"junk man" with his horse & wagon going around the East Side. Yes, we went into the Rexall drug store across from St.Charles Church & also Golden's drug store a few blocks up East Main St. Wow, what memories; I'll stop for now. This has been so much fun recalling East Side memories. I hope children around the country hav |

| Comments: | I was trying to find a copy of the 1955 Harding yearbook when I surfed into this great site. Ex-Yellow Mill Village (Court F), and ex Waltersville, graduating in 1949. Went to Harding for two years, then moved to the west side, graduating Bassick. Court F was on the corner of Hamilton and Hallett...poor in finances, but as youngsters with limited resources, a very rich environment to grow in...all day at no-batteries-required play with kids from all types of families. Impossible to call out a single, top memory, but don't we all remember walking, walking, walking--to the A&P or to the movies on Esat Main, up the hill to Harding, downtown for Thursday night shopping, over to Pleasure Beach to fish the pier, and sometimes to Beardsley for a swim. If the walk was just too much, it was that rickety old bladder-busting Barnum and State bus line that got us across town. Ayyy, something to be said for life on the dear old East Side. |

| Comments: | To Cheryl Wall. I remember the "Pencil Factory" well! Myself, Jim Lyons, "Bones" Uliano, and others from Brooks St. used to play in the back yard on weekends, dipping our hands into the melted wax machine, building forts in the pencil stock, and hiding out in the old boiler (or whatever it was). It seemed that every week or so the place caught fire. Great memories! |

| Comments: | I'm researching an old film, THE CREEPING TERROR, produced, directed, and starring former Bridgeport resident Arthur N. White. White was born around 1938 and grew up in Bridgeport. His mother, Florence (Handy) White, lived in Father Panik village. He had a sister named Charlotte, and a brother (possibly named John). In the mid-1950s he married Lois Whittlesey and moved to California. He later made a film called STREET FIGHTER (1959), and filmed at least a few sequences in Bridgeport. The film had an opening in Bridgeport, with some degree of fanfare surrounding it. He later married another Bridgeport girl, Barbara Wheeler. She later moved back to Bridgeport. He died in the 1970s. Can anyone help me find more information about Arthur White, some of his former wives, or his activities in Bridgeport, or the film STREET FIGHTER being filmed in Bridgeport, or its opening? I'm writing an article about White and his films. |

| Comments: | I graduated from Harding in 1955. Was sad to hear of Miss Plasic's passing. Wish the East Enders' Alumni Association would include information on my fellow classmates of 1955. It was a great class. Am now retired in Wyoming, right near the northwest border to Montana. Beautiful, peaceful mountainous area. Billings is our big city and it does have a lot to offer. I recently decided to teach parttime. I teach English to Koreans (in Korea) by means of the internet. I find it very challenging and interesting. Hope to hear from some of my classmates who surf this site. |

I'm wondering if anyone can provide me with information about when Sandra died, her married name, where she was living, etc. Any information would be most appreciated. I am not an East-ender, but I grew up in Trumbull (THS Class of 1962) and was part of the the first group of Trumbull kids who did not go to Bridgeport for High School. So I am familar with a lot of what your write about! Thanks, Cindy |

| Comments: | I was trying to find some information regarding a friend of mine who passed away in 1971, Harold Bumberg. When I googled his name it came up on the East Enders' website under Remembrance. I think this is the Harold I was looking for as he lived with my mother and I for about a year in 1969 while attending Case Western Reserve and he was a doctor. I know he married and we did receive a letter from his wife saying he had died, but she never mentioned how and I have always wondered what happened to him. If you had any information on what happened to him and or his wife or info about his family, please e-mail me. Any info you might have would be appreciated. Thanks, Sue Klempner |

| Comments: | Calling on all Waltersville Graduates or neighbors of Waltersville! Please pass on to your e-mail buddies. I attended Waltersville School when I first came from Puerto Rico, back in the 1950's. I am quite sure that many of your moms, dads, brothers or sisters also attended Waltersville. It has fond memories. And most important, History. History! Why take it away? Today, a new school is being built to house our students. It is great that our children will have a new facility. However, the sad news is that someone wants to change the name. This is not a new school. Waltersville School has a lot of history behind it. Then, why change the name? I am requesting your help. I need you to help in writing letters to the Board of Education members and the Superintendent requesting that the name of the school remain the same. WALTERSVILLE! Any questions please get in touch with me. Together we can make a difference! Si, se puede! Yes, we can! Thank y |

I went to Bullard-Havens (Auto shop) and would have graduated in '61 if I'd behaved myself but that's another story.

| Comments: | I'm searching for any information that could lead me to ANY blood relative of Scott Lewin Kelley, born Nov 14, 1955 in Bridgeport CT. He attended Harding High, maybe around 1969-1970. I know he has siblings, I think 3, the only name I have is a possible "Linda". The reason for my search: Scott passed away from massive brainstem stroke damage. We were very close, we lived together until this happened. The problem is until a blood relative gives permission, his body cannot be released from the hospital for cremation and he will become a county problem and end up in some kind of pauper's grave. He has been TOTALLY estranged from his family since he moved out here (San Diego), which was roughly 20 years ago. I know he had 3 children and an ex-wife. I know he was raised in the Jewish faith. I know his parents are deceased. If there is anyone that might know ANYTHING that would lead me to a relative I would be so grateful. Thank you, Rebecca Frederick, 619-840-1827 or email. |
