You wouldn't remember me right away (will take you 5 or 6 mins), but chiefly you knew me when you were Class Advisor to Class of '71, and before that when I was in your Variety Show, around 1966, where I played a Beatle.
Your most memorable moment of me would be through one of your favorite students. I didn't have the honor of taking English from you, but my oldest buddy did. --And he always spoke highly of you to me.
So, I was graduating in June of '71 and approached you and asked you to sign my yearbook.
When you were signing, I asked you if you remembered my oldest buddy: Tom Cline. (He grew up across the street from me. And he still is my buddy-my buddy of 54 years!)
To my surprise, you responded: "You know, I sometimes still think of that kid!" (This really was surprising because he had moved away from Elmont in 1967--after about his 7th or 8th grade).
So, after reflecting about my oldest buddy, and the other things I have written, do you remember me now?

PS: Mr. Furnari knew me well. Are you in contact with him? He lives in Famingdale, I last heard, and knows my friend Marianne Rabito (Married name: Scimeca)
