Families of Veterans, and Young Married Couples in the 50's settled here- Families with 3 and 5 and sometimes 8 children- good Christian Families. The Bus for St. Sylvester's picked the children up at 8:30 am for the children's mass on Sunday's. There was
baseball and
football in the park and
even cheer leading! Block Parties, and Fireworks, water balloons - and above the ground pools! Winters gave
us sledding, and ice skating, and blocks and blocks of
friends all year
long. In our little neighborhood were thousands of homes on 1/4 acre lots - your neighbors were family and the bound meant friends forever. Those who lived on the outskirts of our neighborhood did not quite get the idea of these 1/4 acre plots - But the
Dad's who were Veterans - and bought there it sure meant a lot. To the hard working family looking to spread out from the city or Nassau, it couldn't have looked prettier- Here we are grown up and families of our own, we meet on facebook we share our fates, our memories and treasures of a place we call EE - yes some do point their fingers and think they've got
something negative to say - take a look as you point - see three pointing back- we could talk about you- but ya know that's not our way!
