I noticed a message with Anton Grimm’s name in it. He was at my wedding in 1960. He married a girl from Furman Ave.,Florence Pourgal (not sure of spelling). Would like to know how he is doing.
My grandparents bought a two family house on Furman Ave. my mother was raised there, then she married my father around 1935 and stayed there. I left in 1960. My parents left around 1968. Would love to hear from anyone from those great times.

The candy store on Aberdeen St. was owned by the McManus Family around 1953. I graduated Lourdes in 1954. Two brothers went out to St Anthony’s H.S. in Huntington L.I. One passed away but Brother Jude who taught 8th grade is still there.
Leroylliston, I didnt go to 73 but I remember the dances. I believe they were on Wednesday or Friday night, not sure. But my cousins would go there instead of conferternity in Lourdes. Father Lynch would go to the school and pull them out for their religious instructions. Havent found anyone that went to Lourdes the same time as me 1946-1954 or played on Furman Ave. Does anyone remember Scotties?
What’s going on with 24 Furman?
To Joe G. talk about famous people. Veronica Lake was a famous actress in the ‘50s. Her sister lived in the apartment house 24 Furman Ave. She would come and visit once in a while.
Thanks John for steering me to this site from another Brooklyn site. Wow! do all these postings bring back memories. I left Furman Ave. in 1960 when I got married to a Woodhaven man, a retired NYPD and since deceased. Went to Lourdes from 1940-1954. Played on Furman Ave.,Saturdays went to the Colonial or Aberdeen Park or Highland Park. Hung out in Niers Ice Cream Parlor and bought candy in the candy stores on Aberdeen and Furman. We made prank phone calls to Mr. Brown. My father was great friends with the Grims. They were at my wedding. I knew Anton and Bob and Anton’s wife and family. I have just gotten in touch with some Lourdes Alumni from Classmates.Com and we would love to have a reunion. Is anyone interested????????
