Neil Rothstein:  

Life Greetings from sunny Coral Springs Florida. I have been living here since May of 1988. My wife of 23 years Pamela and my 15 year old son Matthew, and our 6 year old Lhasa Apsos Chipper complete my family. i spent 7 years promoting and selling at sports memorabilia shows in Simon and Westfield properties in the state of Florida.

Charley would always sneak baseball card boxes into Louie's car. I guess I never grew out of it and it has become an interesting and exicitng profession. I have been fortunate enough to have been able to meet some of my all time sports heroes as a result. I have also been fortunate enough to have been able to have been in touch and seen classmates over the years when I have come to Merrick (2-4 times a year) on the vacations that don't involve cruising and numerous destinations around Florida. They have also visited Florida where I try to remain available on a moment's notice! look forward to reconnecting and seeing everybody at the reunion!!

I look forward to a long exciting and rewarding a...Expand for more
