reading all those messages, and almost visualizing some of the events brings great joy to me. The Watermelon baby story is a classic one but vaguely remember. I do remember contests we had in the lake with a "Greased up watermelon" and the row boat races that also took place. Now here's the memory that if any one remembers (guys only) then we were there around the same time. I am now 55 and I attented Sharpie around 1961 thru 1965 or somewhere around those yrs. I was a bed wetter and the beds at that time were bunk beds and made of wood and canvas. Well for one whole summer that I can remember I put some counselors and fellow campers thru some changes having soaked a canvas mattress is no joke. Then I was switched to the lower bunk and so on. Another memorable espisode was one Sunday attending Sunday services in the outdoor chapel with huge railroad ties as our seats/benches. Well a couple of bees were humming/buzzing near my cousin Carlos Castro (carlito) and I as we were bowed and praying, I swatted them and one returned and STUNG me right smack in the lower lip. I let out such a loud yell/scream that the serviced ceased and I had to be rushed to the Infirmary at once. Anyone reading this and can remember such an incident "Please write back" Oh those softball games we had on the fileds, those warm sweet cinnamon rolls on Sunday's as a treat and lets not forget the famous then "BUG JUICE" Finally here, I am frantically looking for two - three pictures I have that my late mom passed on to me of me and my cousin in our swimming trunks and towels after a swim and the family visiting us (maybe a Sunday) we were in those big grassy fields under some ol tree. Rest a sure when I find them I will submit for us to share. Oh well this is one GREAT idea and bless our friend Victor. By the way I have another cousin who's helped with this project as well his name is Hector Cruzado bless him as well. Long live "Church Of The Crossroads" on East 14th Street N.Y.C. which was located around the corner from the Eye & Ear infirmary on either second or first Avenue Peace to All and lets keep this spirit alive and hopefully hook up a mass reunion. Soon of course were getting older here. Bye for now! Paul Feliciano (Cookie) e-mail addr., P_feliciano@yahoo.com |
