Donald's Story
Right from 148th Street, between 115th & 116th Ave. Went to P.S. 123,(55-62) Shimer J.H. 142 (62-64), then on to John Bowne H.S (64-68). Lived at Ajax Park most of the time, on the basketball courts, & the handball courts. Knew mostly everybody from the neighborhood & the park. Played little leauge baseball at the park, (the Cardinals, the Bobcats), ran CYO track (St. Clement), played CYO basketball (Good Shepard), ran track for Shimer & John Bowne, and can't forget Shimer's Night Center & Summer Center. All neighboorhood activities they don't have now.
Hanged out with Gerald Harper, Donnie Gripper, Herman Washington (mousey), James McIntosh (apple), and Michael Burns. My second home was down on 140th Street, just past Foch Blvd, knew a lot of people around there. I also hanged out in Flushing with the John Bown...Expand for more
e crowd from around that way. Knew a lot of people from the neighborhood around Parsons Blvd., just past Hilcrest Hospital. What fond memories.
Me & Donnie Gripper started a neighborhod band 69-75,called "The Soul Shaker's", later we changed the name to "City Function". We played often at Lincoln Park, & the neighborhood clubs. Donnie played drums and I played bass, that was a lot of fun back in the day. Still play bass today.
1980 I moved out of the NYC, to New Orleans, to persue my career as an "Industrial Pipe Mechanic". Due to "Hurrican Katrina" I'm now living in Houston, Texas, where I'm presently "Contracting" my "Services" out to the "Houston Oil Refineries". Love what I'm doing, going on 36 years.
