| Meredith Lynn grew up in Howard Beach. She's appeared in many tv shows, and movies, including: Forces of Nature, Billy's Hollywood Screen Kiss, and Night at the Roxbury. She's doing very well for herself from what I hear from Andrew Colon (who still hangs out with her out in L.A.)

| Definately Arlo Guthrie....he trys to get there every time he is down that way. I met Arlo online in an old Queens forum and he invited me to his concert at Carnegie Hall one Novemeber a couple of years ago. He is certainly proud to be a HB'er!

| Annette! Yeah I'm still trying to find some of my old buddies but most of the people looking for each other are 20 years younger than the ones I was maybe hoping to run into... I'll keep at it though.

My sister baby sat for Jay and he used to come around "our corner" as he walked his dog and sing doo woop song with us. Great times for sure!

| Someone above mentioned Louis Prima.
Let's not forget his lovely wife, Keely Smith.
She is still performing and cutting records (CDs)
Check her out at Tower with her CD of Sinatra songs. You won't be sorry. |
