Prospect  girl searching for classmate, Janice Bellochio...anyone know her?
Also seeking Frank Schaberg and his younger sister....(Kathleen?)
Still seeking Bonnie France,  and Dominic Pisano....
Sandra Tumac, Mary Ann Hyer, and Robert Holmes (Teaneck)... Would anyone know how to find a roster from Sister Rita's first grade class in 1950?
Also two girls named Frances and Kathleen (also from  Teaneck) and a boy named Vincent...
just hoping...

I can't tell you how to reach any of these people, but I can tell you that:

- Helen Schaberg was in my class (1953-1961). I think she is/was a nurse. If you find her, let me know. I have some reunion pictures for her, but haven't been able to locate her.

- also in my class was a Frances, a Kathleen, and a Vincent from Teaneck.....Frances Uliano, Kathleen Higgins, Vincent Marinello

- Robert Holmes died in 2007. There was a Mike Kelly column written about him in The Record on April 21, 2008, but it seems to be available only through pay services. Perhaps you can email Mike for it (KellyM@northjersey.com).

This was written in his blog the next day:


Honoring a waiter

Many readers asked about my column yesterday on Robert Holmes, a waiter at Amarone Ristorante in Teaneck who died suddenly last year and is being honored at the restaurant with a special bench and a plaque with his trademark greeting to all patrons as he handed them a menu:  "We can talk. Nothing is written in stone."

The dedication of that bench will take place this Sunday, April 27, from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m., at Amarone's, 63 Cedar Lane, Teaneck.

Here are some images from this evening just before sunset.

Bonus (of sorts) - a link after the last picture for a semi-dim video of everyone's favorite ride - the Zipper.

OK - here's my entry and the original for comparative purposes.

Of course, the roads are a lot wider now. Other than the coincidence of the two nearest poles being in almost the same places, the thing I notice are the trees in the left background: they elevate as you get closer to the left edge. That could be another coincidence, but the upper parts of trees are subject to a lot less change over time than whatever's at ground level.

I'm anxious to see the other possible location images.

Of the three roads mentioned (Kinderkamack, Main, Grand), the only one with an incline is Kinderkamack and that incline is visible only when you are facing north.

Come one, come all! It's carnival time!

The annual Holy Trinity Carnival opened last night in the church parking lot and continues until this Saturday night.

I went over there this afternoon and took cell pictures of all the big attractions:



A carnival goer's favorite sight: an open gate and no one in the ticket booth..........so I snuck in.






A couple of other Hackensack residents saw me and did the same.






I'm not quite sure what this ride is, but it showed lots of tomahawks and an indian trying to kill a bison. Sounds like fun! (no wonder they won't let adults in).






Next was the Foxitani TenPlex with all screens showing "The Ten Commandments".

The fun never stops.






This is called "The Dragon Wagon". I'm not sure who drives this wagon, but since it sits in a lot owned by the church (and since there's a new pastor), one can only speculate.






Ah, the dreaded "Slide of Sin". We all start up there in the heavens and have nowhere to go but down. I took this picture at the bottom of the ride, so you can guess how far down I am (hint: I had to wear asbestos shoes).






Lastly, we come to the Zipper. It's situated right by the Slide of Sin because the zipper leads to more sin than almost anything else (or so we were taught at HTS).






On a steamy night few years ago, I took a picture of the Zipper in action. Something about the image actually reminds me of another occasion (or two) of sin!

Scary stuff!  (not really)

They were at Teterboro last year.

I saw them then. They had something to do with a ceremony for the dedication of a ship on the Hudson during Fleet Week, I think. When they were done, they came in from the north and flew right above the PV RR tracks and Linden St, heading south toward Teterboro.

Guess what? ALL photography is reflective.

So are most titles that begin with "As the...".
