Are there any former students or teachers out there that attended or taught at the tiny high school York Institute in Brooklyn Heights in the early 1970s? Our school was above the Promenade Restaurant (is the restaurant still there?). The school closed, but the memories are vivid. Walking to the Promenade for lunch, watching the boats. I came from Staten Island to attend, and it was worth every early morning ferry ride. Please e-mail if you remember me. I fondly remember quite a few of you.

Frances Rubin Beiman

I lived in Brooklyn from 1934 until 1956 when I married and moved to New Jersey. I attended P.S. 179 and Erasmus Hall H.S. and also spent two years at Brooklyn College. I have fond memories of "hanging out" on Ocean Parkway or at Garfield's and meeting friends at Bay 8 in Brighton in the summer. I believe that I lived in Brooklyn at the best time, when it was really at its peak. You didn't need a lot of money to have a good time, and I got a really good, free education.

Louis Mistretta

I was born on Flushing Ave. between Bushwick Ave. and Monteque St. Across the street was a soda factory—I think it was called Kirsch—and a few blocks away was a Rheingold Beer brewery.

Edward Posner

Hi. I lived at 12 Crown St. two blocks from Ebbets Field. My name is Edward Posner and I went to P.S. 241. I graduated in 1952 and went to EHHS. I did a lot of bowling at Freddie Fitzimmons on Empire Blvd. I am looking for anyone that went to P.S. 241 and EHHS. I live in Florida. I hope someone sees this and responds..
