Peter Koch, I was right. This is Vicki Hobson. I do remember you, though I am not getting a visual yet. I believe you signed my graduation book. I cannot believe all the names you are mentioning. I am sorry to hear about Stanley Piccarella. Our families used to be friends. We went to visit them when they moved up near Lake George. His mom used to work at the Italian restaurant on Gates Ave. and Seneca. I cannot remember the name. I heard that Father Kelly is still at St. Brigid’s. I remember always trying to go to his mass, it was over in 20 minutes. What are you doing now?

Sorry to bother all of you involved with the Ridgewood Theatre chat. I do remember the Ridgewood Theatre from the 60’s and 70’s. It’s main competitor was the Madison Theatre a few block away. The Ridgewood always seemed to be more run down. But it was architecturally superior. If it is indeed one of the oldest theatres in NY , someone should start hounding the NY Historical Society to declare it a landmark.They used to have movie premieres there as well.
