Comments: 'It has been fifty years since I have lived on the Island. I can still remember the most wonderful carefree days of my life. My friends and I fished and would rebuild our "dock" on the East River every year where we would swim from the time the water was warm enough until about the time school would start in the fall. If my memory serves right there were only three "large" areas of population on the Island, Ferry Village, The Village, and Sandy Beach. I wouldn't have changed it for anything. Except a few things..'

We lived on Fix Road across from the De Glopper farm woods and field. Our house is long gone. We started on Williams Rd and then moved to Fix Rd when I was 7. My sisters and brother attended Sidway High School (Dick, Jeannette and Pam). Only my sister Pam and I remain in the Bath, NY area. So fun to hear places I remember mentioned in others comments. Beaver Island was a wonderful place for all of us to go when we were young. My memories and spacific names need "dusting off" because I was young when we left. Enjoy reading others' comments..'

For me, it was a Huckleberry Finn world of paradise and fun. I don't know where my life would have led if we had stayed on the Island, but its nice to think and wonder about. I met a great woman who puts up with all my childhood memories and who has given me three wonderful children. It still brings tears to my eyes as I write to all of my Island friends; I have missed you dearly the past fifty years. I send all my love and hopes for well being to you and your families.

Regina Benson - Grand Island resident: 1962 - 1965.
Comments: 'I remember early spring mornings on the Island, after the children left on the bus for school I would sit on my porch and smell the fresh air, enjoying the feeling of just being alive. Then I would go across the road to get the morning paper, in the days of the Bflo. Courier Express. The house was so quiet with the children gone for the day and I would call my sister in Bflo. to arrange to pick her up to come to my home for an afternoon of first lunch and then to Kelly's Country store to see what was there that we may have missed on our previous "look-about". I remember buying a small doll of P.T.Barnum, which I have to this day. We were so happy while we lived there and have many, many fond memories that it is difficult to name even a few. The pears that grew on the trees on our front lawn fed us and then the deer that came from the woods. One time a deer came up on the porch causing the Flying Disc, that belonged to my son, to make such a noise that we were afraid it would come thru the window after us when it saw us looking out at it. The times we fished off the bridge in Buckhorn Park, the trip to the barber shop, on Baseline Rd. across from St. Stephan's for the unpopular brush cuts for my sons amid many and loud protests, the sunsets we saw thru the window facing the west and many, many more wonderful memories come to my mind in the twilight of my life and will evermore be a part of my life tho I am so far from our beloved Grand Island home. Folks who live there and are raising their children should treasure the real things in life which will be but memories for them too one day..'

I am number 7th child to Blaise and Betty (Elizabeth ) Rindone. I was looking in your awsome albums for some possible pictures of me. We left Grand Island after Blaise's death. My father couldnt stand the memories (we lived on Love Road at that time) and he moved us to Franklinville, New York, which was very hard on me, leaving all my friends and memories behind.. I finished high school at Ten Broeck Academy or Franklinville Central High School.. Years ago it was founded by Peter Tenbroeck and was actually a free academy. It scored high acedemically and the atheletic team was rated high in Cattaraugus County, thats all for now.'

Comments: 'I attended Grand Island Middle School for one year -- 8th grade -- in 1973-74. I went to high school off-island and then moved out of the area entirely in 1978. I was at the middle school for such a short time, I can't imagine anyone there remembers me. But I remember them. There were some really bright interesting people in that class, like Steve D'Addieco, a creative force in theater and comedy. And Terry Kimmel, an inscrutable genius. And some really nice girls, one in particular who made an impression as a real sweetheart, just a really nice person. And I'm sure still is. I rode the school bus every day with the late Terry Crowe, a hero who is in my mind forever young, forever cheerful, an enduring smile imprinted on his face. Innocent time, long time ago..'

One of the reasons I found this sight is because I keep hearing coyotes in the middle of the night. It is actually quite scary (being a viewer of werewolf movies). It sounds like a pack of them and I've heard them several times. I've tried to see them, but when I look out it stops and I haven't been able to see anything. (I am across the street from fields). Anyways, your pictures are absolutely beautiful..'

Comments: 'Grand Island was agreat place to live. Due to it's size, it didn't take very long to get from one place to another. I used to ride my bike to the Monica St. to visit my good friend Roland following my familes move to the Sandy Beach area. As usaul, time caused us to drift, especially when my father was transferred to the Montreal Canada, following my Sophmore year at GI High. In '67, I returned to live with my grandparents, but went to Eden Central, where I graduated in '68. However, it provided me with the opportunity to visit Grand Island on weekends. Once in awhile, I would ride the GI High bus with friends to attend a sporting event. Following Graduation, I moved to Ca. with my parents once again to continue my schooling. In all the years thereafter, I never forgot about Grand Isalnd. Now, I've been given the opportunity to attend GI High's 40th to see those whom I grew up with once again. Thank You Grand Island for this oportunity. Just to let you know how much I talked about GI, under my yearbook picture it says, "How are things on Grand Island"?.'

I remember us girls walking to the Plaza to go to Neisner's to buy 45's. We used to have great slumber parties and sneak out all night to roam the streets and laugh like fools! There are way too many memories to write here. My friends, Karen Sciandra Raepple, Pat Wilkinson Moravec, Geri Kilmer, Kim Pickles Stolp, Diane Loder Kerner and Kathy Geisenhoff Randall STILL get together at least once a year for a slumber party at Karen's home. We have been doing this since we all turned 40 in 1991. I cherish them all and all the wonderful childhood memories I have. Danna Moles.'

I remember the wonderful "snow", good neighbors that talked across the fence. Everything on the Island was close and relatively easy to get to compared to larger areas. As when I lived on the Island I enjoy walks at Buckhorn,golfing at Beaver Island State Park and so much more. I wish Grand Island was futher south it would be heaven on earth. My mother (Vera) died in 1991, brother (Jack)in 1992 and my father(Levi)in 2001. The Firemen and all the wonderful people on Grand Island helped us thru the difficult times. My Son Sargent Stephen Ferguson is now 25 has just returned from his second tour of duty in Iraq. He has receeived two purple hearts... and is thankfully in one piece. After graduating from YSU as an Metallurgical Engineer 1973, Theresa my wife and I have moved several times from Pennsylvannia, Florida, Ohio, Tennessee, Ohio, Pennsylvannia and now in Virginia..'

Did quite a lot up and down that road with my siblings, friends. Miss the gang....the times we had. Time takes it toll on everything.........but cant erase the best times of my life there on Grand Island. No question about it! I would give my right hand............ok.......maybe my lil finger to go back in time to around 1975. Cruising in my brothers 62 listing to the tunes (not disco) eight of us packed in that car. Maybe heading to Sheridan Drivein.........or Teds.......Riverside.......Mighty Taco...... Or sitting by a fire on a nice summer night down at the pier with everyone. We partied till dawn most saturday nights. Surprised im still alive or not in jail, lol. Life was simple then............no cable.........no ipods...........no cell phones........no PS2. The list goes on. Fast paced everything is today. What seemed like yesterday.....1978. And now its 2007! Someone tell me who kicked it into overdrive? When i been trying to stay at cruising speed. Oh well. I can go on and on here as i know everyone else can that lived the life of an Islander. If anyone cares to E-mail me please do. Steve Gibbs 11/4/07.'

Also on the plus side, I get my coffee at McDonald's at the senior's price. My timeline since graduation in 1967: 1.) U.S. Army 67-70,(Germany & Vietnam) 2.) college 74-79, Tompkind-Cortland Comm. & St. John Fisher College 3.) work in Accounting,(Credit & Collections) 1979-2001 4.) now semi-retired and doing "old guy" work, working part-time doing light delivery work. NO WalMart greeter or McDonalds for me. 5.) Married/divorced/remarried - have 3 grown boys, ages 23-31 yrs. I live appox. 3hours east of G.I. and drive through there occasionally to visit Mom, brothers, & other family members in the area. I look forward to attending our 40th Reunion in October. I think that I have only attended ONE since 1967! Maybe I have attended more but I can not recall when - NO, I am not in politics, just getting more forgetful by the day! Hope that the past 4 decades have been kind to all of you! Look forward to seeing you again!!!..'

I have two children from my first marriage. I spent a few years with the airlines, then went in to sales, first I was sales director for a annual grand prix race, then 10 years selling radio air time. I currently own and operate a motocross track. God, knows how I ended up doing that, but it is great. My track is supercross, we have alot of kids that ride, ages from 4 years old to 50, mostly males. I am not sure if anyone that lives in New York has dirt bike tracks, due to the weather. But you can check out my web site at, www.sunshinemotocross.com. I really hope we have a reunion this year, it has been 40 years, hard to believe. I look forward to seeing all of my old class mates.

Yes it has changed, but the old feel for the "island" is still there. I now live in California and all our kids are grown and moved out to start there own lives. But it seems like just a very short time ago we were playing football and swiming for "GI High". Back when the summers were full of water skiing, softball, Beaver Island, Ceal & Chucks, WKBW and many more adventures too numerous to list. I love California and will never move back, but I couldn't have wanted a better place to grow up than Grand Island in the 60's..'

After setting at the computer for hours I know right away when I came upon Grand Island that if I was going to make the move to the area it would be no where else but "Grand Island". By luck I met Linda K and Colleen C (and what professionals they are). We must have looked at what seemed like hundreds of homes online. Long story short we finally made it to your Island last week and on day one of our home search we found our dream home on Timberlink. We're back in Florida now just counting the days to call Grand Island our home!.'

Comments: 'My grandparents, Joseph and Lydia Katrein owned the Edgewater which was a rock and roll place at the time, used to take me there almost daily and sit me on the pool table while my gram would prepare for that night's supper and grampa would help her clean. They played the same songs on the jukebox for me which were "Hang on Sloopy", and my grampa's favorite, "Bluberry Hill" by Fats Domino. I remember a spray painted figure near the bandstand and it always scared me...apparently it was something at night but you needed black lights to see it, my gram would tell me. The funny thing was I had a third grade teacher at Kaegebein named Mr. LaBarber and one time my gram came to school to pick me up and as I was getting my things together I heard him call my gram " MA?!?" then she said Jim?! (I think) and it turned out my 3rd grade teacher had a life before us kids and played guitar in one of the bands that frequented there!! I love to hear stories of my Gram and grampa or "ma and pa" as they were called..'

The long summers where we went out in the morning & came back for lunch or dinner without our parents worrying about us! Picking strawberries in the back fields,playing baseball with all the neighborhood kids, playing "dolls" with the girls. Then came the Halloween Grande Ile Village Parade, the big bonfire down at the custard stand after we trick or treated down Love Road & East Park. Ice skating in the fields which are now the ColdBrook homes. Never locking our doors!! I'd like to hear via email from some of my former playmates & schoolmates to catch up!.'

My sister Denise has been living in London and Paris for the past 10 years or so and my brother Pat along with his wife live in Redington Shores,FL. My mother and her husband moved to Seminole,FL about 5 years ago.I have fond memories sailing on the river and because of those experiences I bought a Hobie cat and raced on a Hobie Miracle 20 for 2 years. My last visit to the Island was 3 years ago. It was great to see Amberwood and how lovely it still is. I was very fortunate to have been raised in such a beautiful neighborhood.The hobbies I have today stem from my wonderful experiences on the Island although I do not miss freezing weather and freak when we drop below 60F..'

Swimming in the river at the Bedell House and Senn's dock off the old barge; Charlotte's homemade Clam broth at the Hot Dog Stand where most of us Ferry Villager's had our first chance at some quality on the job training, thanks to Charlotte Guenther and Betty McNamee! Sitting on the roof of the Bedell House watching the boat races cheering on Miss Bardol (course, Charlotte never knew we were up there-or so we thought). The bunch of us Christmas carolling thru the village; boy I could go on for hours but the important thing we learned was the value of quality friendships. Not just us kids but our parents, as well. Ferry Village was a very special place where everyone looked out for each other. I will always hold that sense of family close to me....'.'

Going to "Bells" as a kid and getting a free piece of rolled up bologna, or "Bridge View" on the Blvd. and getting a kite (never forget that huge pickle barrel, too bad that place burned down). The go-kart track, riding my dirt bike non-stop, and St. Angelo's Pizza and Wings. Of course many other good times as I grew up in my high school days... too many to share here. Take care all.'

My father, who was a physical therapist in the Niagara Falls area from 1951 to 1996, maintained his friendship with Sal. Dr. Martinez was a sports collector and saved memorabilia commemorating Sal's major league accomplishments. At the time of Sal's death a few years prior to my dad's, Dr. Martinez turned over all his scrapbooks to Sal's sister..'

But neighbours and parents of my childrens schools are very welcoming and have made my transition very smooth. Grand Island is so welcoming and has such "wonderful" people and I am truly glad that I moved here. I could go on forever with all the praises toward Kaegebein School and the Middle School. I heard Grand Island had great schools, but what I have seen and felt from these schools is outstanding..'

The old Sunset Drive Gang, swimming on the West River, bicycle riding to Longs store and the many night games of playing dodge ball and late night ice skating on the ponds. Memories of highschool and grade school friends have not faded and seem so very recent even now. I would love to locate Susan Wetmore, from Sunset Drive. And also Donald Greening, and Elaine Forti, and any other students from our High School class in 1967. I will be returning to the Island for a visit this spring after being away since 1979 and I would look forward to hearing from anyone from the Island. Mary Nelson (B.

My parents lived in River Lea in the 60's and my kids spent time with them in the summers at this house. The last time we were on Grand Island we visited the site along the drive way and found the scar on the tree where my 2 young boys ran a golf cart into the tree. It is good to see you have furnished the house and have kept this historical house open to the public. I wish your society the best. I miss the river, we lived in a house that was at the extention of Baseline Rd. The house is no longer there. I loved walking along the river and remember sleding the hill by the commisioner's house and trying to make it out on to the ice. Some of the best rememberences of my kids were the summers they spent with my parents in the park. Sincerely, Norine.'

Comments: 'My grandfather was Henry Landel,Sr. My Dad was Selby Landel, he owned "Landel Electric Co." on Grand Island and wired many of the homes there. I attended Charlotte Sidway school the first year it opened. My granddad owned the farm from the border of the Dinsmore property to the Alt Boulevard on Love Road. I attended the celebration for the opening of the first bridge. I remember riding the Fix ferry before the bridges were built. I have pictures of the ice taken at the old Honeymoon bridge. I still have relatives on the Island. Shirley Schultz is a cousin, lives on Fix Road and the DeGloppers, Earl,Hazel Mallwitz and Benice Baily, deceased, who live on Fix Road. I remember the Island as it was from 1930 thru 1950's. The old Landel homestead still exists on Love Road, it has changed hands several times. My aunt's home is next door, then comes my parents home. There were 5 homes all side by side owned by the family. I pulled up the web site to view the Charlie DeGlopper memorial. As kids we used to all go down to the West River and would tease Charlie because he made such a big splash when diving. The memorial brought back many memories. I really enjoyed it and all the old pictures. The picture of the boys with the Williams family reminded me of when the Williams lady used to drive some of us to school before Sidway opened. Thanks for such a great article. Don't E-mail me until after end of July, I will be on vacation. Luella Landel Wike.'

Comments: 'By far, some of the best memories were on the Island. Almost 20 years living there, and I was young and times were good. Summers at Beaver Island state park. I remember working there during the summers back in the early 70's. I came back to visit one summer, and was floored when I saw the beach house gone. It was sad to see it missing, because there were a lot of memories inside. The little diner at the end had the best steak n cheese sandwich, and onion rings around. Me and my co-workers dropped some cash in that place. I go back to the Island every few years, and i drive down my old street Alt Blvd., and it seems so different. I have to admit, our old house looks better now then back then. Use to ride down to West River and fish a lot, bass were plentiful. I remember the Blizzard of 78, and loved it, lol. But my opinion of winter has sure changed with the times. Memories of Big Willy's and Vans, St. Angelo's, Sandy Beach, Buckhorn. Anyone remember Tuckers or Longs? We use to get on our bikes and ride (which seemed like an eternity) to get a bag of penny candy. Most of my memories consisted of a bunch that I grew up with on Alt, and you know who you are. Can't leave Mark W. from Fix out. Anyways, I can go on, but most of you fell asleep by now. But I do want to mention it just wasn't the Island that was all the memories. It was the time. When you had no cares in the world. You didn't have to sleep with one eye open then. I was fortunate to have grown up then. Best of times. I now live in Syracuse, married and have two daughters..'

Comments: 'I realize we can never "go back" but the years I spent growing up on the island not to mention the type of friendships we developed will never be forgotten. Swimming in the river at the Bedell House and Senn's dock off the old barge; Charlotte's homemade Clam broth at the Hot Dog Stand where most of us Ferry Villager's had our first chance at some quality on the job training, thanks to Charlotte Guenther and Betty McNamee! Sitting on the roof of the Bedell House watching the boat races cheering on Miss Bardol (course, Charlotte never knew we were up there-or so we thought). The bunch of us Christmas carolling thru the village; boy I could go on for hours but the important thing we learned was the value of quality friendships. Not just us kids but our parents, as well. Ferry Village was a very special place where everyone looked out for each other. I will always hold that sense of family close to me....'

I remember her hot pink campaign colors that matched her house on Alt Blvd. She was voted citizen of the year in 1988. We lived on Alt Blvd a few houses down from her's. We lived across the street from Doug Smith, a newspaper writer and TV personality. We moved to Rochester when I was a kid, but often visied my grandparents and other relatives. I last was on the island at Kelly's County Store with my kids during this past Christmas. What a great place! I last saw family on the island at my Uncle Joe Esack's (also of Alt Blvd)funeral about a year and a half ago..'

I was four when we moved here and can remember going to the one room schoolhouse just off the Baseline Road, I can't remember which road it was on but one winter day the wind blew so hard most of us got blown all the way out to the road and into the ditch, what fun! When the 'new' school, Charlotte Sidway opened, Roger Kaiser, I'm sure everyone remembers him, and I were the first ones off the bus and in the door, the first students ever to enter that school. We fought to see who could be first, but it ended in a tie and we squeezed in at the same time. Just one of a hundred memories I have growing up on the Island….'

We surprised Dan's family and our longtime friend Colleen 'Finn' with our visit. Our oldest son shadowed one of Colleens daughters to the High School for a day. We thought it was pretty neat for him to see where we went to school. The Island hasn't changed much, just seems to become more populated with each visit we make, we can understand why, it is a great place to raise a family, but way too cold for me. So we will stay here in warm sunny Florida..'

We had talked for years about raising them here on GI and finally, I gave in but only after reading this page for years hearing how this is the best place in the world to grow up!!! So here we are. Matthew started Pre-K this fall. Thank You to all the Grand Island residents who have welcomed us to GI - I haven't met one yet who wasn't nice or whom I didn't like which is 180 degrees from Orlando!!! Thank You for welcoming us to our new home. Bill Hays.'

Watching my dad, John, march in the Firemens Day parade. Bus 3 picking me up to go to Kindergarten. Mass at the old St Stephens Church and Fr. Schwegler. Standing in line with my dad at Kaegebein School so he could vote for "Ike". So many things...so many things...Grand Island was the best part of growing up...The house I grew up in is gone but it will always be "home". Happy 150 years to my "home town"..'

My best memories include fellow members of the Bedell Gang and all of the trouble we got in and out of, my first love Tammie, Gangsters in Middle School, and all of the great friends that I had and unfortunately did not keep up with. Hey Jeff Wagner, Paul Stoddard, Mike Ciechoski, Russ Certo, Steve Fritchi, John Hasselbeck, Tony Wisnowski Tammie Carey or anyone else, feel free to drop me a line..'

Comments: 'I am now seventy years old and presently a resident of Ohio. I still have many relatives in Buffalo and Tonawanda, NY. As a young boy I can remember hunting and fishing on Grand Island, especially during the summer. We also did alot of camping there. I remember the Bedell House well and the "Wrecks" as it was called, of all the old ferry boat's and barges that were left there. Great for fishing and swimming. The last time I was there was over ten years ago. I remember Grand Island when it was mostly farm land and open shoreline, back in the early 1940's through the late 1950's..'

Riding bikes, playing ball in empty fields, swimming at Sandy Beach, sailing on the river, going to Batsford's store, wandering in the woods, Sidway school - especially field day, they are all special memories I still cherish. Times were simpler, Mom's were at home, TV was brand new, phones were still party lines, almost no one had two cars, you did math with a pencil instead of a computer, there was a Christmas show at school every year. It was a great place back then and time seems to dull only the bad memories..'

Comments: 'I left GI June of 1974 between Jr & Sr yrs. I moved with my family and was not a part of my graduating class in either GI or my NJ school. I have always felt cheated in that I couldn't be part of graduation on GI. Somehow I survived but at the time I thought I wouldn't. I have lots of fond memories of middle and high school. We lived on Baseline Rd. towards the bottom. We stood out for the bus and the wind would whip across the fields. BRRRRRRR! Thanks for the website. Sincerely. Kathy Cornell Palmer class of '75.'

Comments: 'Memories, some of them good, some of them bad! I know that the following statements may never reach the light of day, but I would be less than honest with myself if I didn't mention the following. When my fellow Afro American GI Grads get together, we often mention the acts of institutionalized racism carried out against Afro American students by some of the High School Administration, some teachers and by some students. Some of these acts were so horrible that it's hard to believe that the majority of the Afro American students weren't damaged mentally or physically somehow... So outrageous that we will never allow our children or grandchildren to experience this. Despite the aformentioned statements, I'm sure my fellow Afro American GI Grads: Derek Scott, Mark Walker, Chuck Cowart, Mel Cowart, Art Harper, Bailys, Pam Walker, Carmen Walker, Bonnie Walker, Giles, Fred Ford, Mike Mayo & Sister, Don Lee & Sisters, Ed Little, Pam Flood, Jim "Bow" Henderson, Charles Manguila, Rick & Cheryl Reed, Cook Boys & Sister, Rene Ford, Dunlops, and my brother Kyle Salley, and I, Troy Salley communicate we all agree that we would like to thank the following folks for their color blindness, care, love, & friendship, without them we would never have survived: First and foremost, thank you Geno Masters, Roger Wise, Paul Hauser, and thank you Mr. Russo, Mr. Meyers, Mr. Burnstein, Mr. Cimento, Mr. Ross, I would like to personally thank Jodi Hayes, Grace Golonka, Judy Posner, Becky Moss, Ann DiMarco, Debbie Gilmore, Sharon Schuldlbeck, Sullivan Twins, Jim Rodriguez, Mike Masters, Darcey Wood, Kathy Rayhill, Fawn Mazur, Lynn Lewis, Robin Ward and especially the love of my life Pat Hecko, for your support, love, friendship, and help, because without you I would never have become the person I am today! I'll never forget ya! I love ya! Troy Salley.'

Comments: 'The good friendships formed, the early years spent riding bikes safely all over the island, camping in the fields, swimming, building a raft, canoeing to Navy Island. The snow drifts, Tucker's store, clam broth by the Bedell House, watching a couple waltz all by themselves in the ballroom at Beaver Island Casino during the Centennial; painting scenery in the barn by St. Stephen's; the round and square dances at Sidway. Looking in the window of an old school house at the corner of Bush and Baseline (?)-in "Toni of Grand Isle", I wonder if is this the one on which Neilia Gardner White based Toni's school? The memories are fresh and alive. It will be good to be back, even if it's just for a Reunion weekend..'

If anyone would like to do a city to city Sesquicentennial exchange of some sort, please contact me. I would love to send you our commemorative poster.

Comments: 'I signed the guestbook previously but thought I'd toss a few memories in this time. I lived on Ransom Road just down from the High School. Along with my brothers Bob and Greg we braved the walk on cold winter mornings but never regretted the walk vs. the bus. The challenge increased when the Santa Lucia's, Great Dane, Squire, decided it was play time. The best part of GI was the fast disappearing fields for a multitude of outdoor activities. The nieghborhood was rich with friends the likes of which consisted Sundholms, Rudzkis, Arends, McAlisters, Wrights, Steins, and Kellys. The "Ransom Roadrunners" Skating, snow machines, sledding at Burks' Hill. Walks along the headwaters od edgewater creek starting at the famous "Troll Bridge", behind the Bell's house, on to Niro's Pond, past the Christmas Tree Farm and terminating at the River at Edgewater. Many forget that the tragedy at Bells Falls where Gary's sister was heroic in her efforts to save a drowning child. Wish I still lived there. Texas is hot and flat but shoveling a driveway would kill me now!.'

Seeing the Wizard Of Oz for the first time! Sitting on the shore in my crib on the West River! Having mumps! Being at my Grammy’s house on the other end of Love Road with chickenpox! Playing "mommy" to my newborn sister. Eating corn on the cob with my grandfather on the back porch trying to see who could bite more rows! Cleaning the silver before the big holiday meals. Setting up the card table and putting a blanket over it to make a "fort" to watch cartoons. Playing dress up with the girl next-door using Grammy’s jewelry! Finding an Easter-basket wherever momma-bunny hid it! Making deserts on the kitchen floor with my Easy-Bake-Oven! My collie, "Billy" and basset named "Happy". Playing in the field behind the Cook's house on Staley Road with family and friends (Remember me Mr. Link?) LOL My earliest memories are from the IsledeGrande! Whenever asked where are you from...I am proud to say Grand Isle, Buffalo New York!.'

I hope to make the trip up there from SC (where I've lived since we left in '76) along with my husband, son and daughter and my brother Ron Lordo and his wife and son. I took my family there for the first time since '76 over the Thanksgiving holidays and I was amazed at how different yet the same everything looks!! I'd love to reconnect with my old neighborhood best-buddy Ann Pannullo, and reassure the 2 teachers that I drove NUTS while I was there that I actually turned out OK - Mrs. Pinzotti and Mrs. Santiago!!!

I graduated in 1999, and stuck around for an extra 2 years, working in downtown Pgh, though I did make several trips back to see the family (now in NF), as well as several stops on GI. (Boy I could go for a John's Chicken Finger Sub right now!) I moved back to NF in April '01, and spent the summer in the area. Since August '01, I've been living in Syracuse NY, attending Syracuse Law School. I'll graduate from here in '04 (I promise, Mom!). After that, who knows? Drop me an e-mail!.'

Comments: 'I enjoy returning to the Island each summer to visit Mom at our Love Road home. The Island has changed so much since I was young and living there! I couldn't believe the "mountain" beside the Buffalo bridges when I was last at home. I still remember when Grand Isle Village consisted of only the homes on Love Road and East Park, and we, as children, climbed in the apple trees behind Judy Daggett's home and gathered blossoms in the spring. I also remember walking to the "end" of the road to wait for the school bus, near the "Grand Stand"---and I remember the snow....'
