It's the people that made our neighborhood what it was, the kids we went to school with, the sisters and priests and the merchants where we shopped............I moved to brooklyn from manhattan. My uncle's wife lived there and after he got married at our church, they moved to ozone park, later moving to stone avenue between eastern parkway and dean street............we moved from soho in manhattan to brooklyn and moved out in 1964. I went back recently for the rally to save the church in April...........my heart is broken as to what has happened to our neighborhood......the school lot is full of broken beer bottles, weeds are growing through the cement, the lot has been strewn with garbage..........I will keep my memories of when I lived there close to my heart........
Look at the pictures of Neighborhood Friends on this site, and scroll down to the picture of a drum corps (band)Loreto Knights.
Fr. Fiore is in the front row. I believe that the picture was taken earlier than date posted.
