Daniel's Story

Well not sure where to start, however, before I start on my "Story" Just want to say (for lack of a better term) It's been very cool talking/emailing old buds/buddets and look forward to many more enjoyable "connections". Please EXCUSE the spelling/grammer typos, I dont do well with names:( Well I guess Winston Park will be a good starting point. That's where we moved to from a "Hood" right off of I-95 and NW 79st. That was back in 1974 when we made the move into a small, yet busy community called Kendall. I grew up with Sue Godoy (1st girlfriend I had) her sisters Chris and Diana also brother "Butch". As well as the Cohen's, Sandra, Scott and Juan the older brother, there was the Vasquezes, Nelson,Danny,Ceaser,Mitchell and Alex that lived in the 2 story house right on SW 79st and 137 ave. Then their was my end of the Block where Danny Staninsky, Aaron and Jennifer Lenord, Rod Lorain/Arture and his brother, that name escapes me at the moment. Then there was Paul, Chipper and mike Glantz. How can we forget Bruce Albert and his brother. Oh yeah, and Helen Watson, girlfriend I had during one of Sue's and my "Break-ups" Those where , what I call now, harmless relationships. Then threw out the years, the Russell Shryocks, Armondo Vargas (Jaws, was a nickname for him)David Hanna (The Fly) had the Delgados, Reescos and many more made up our, for the most part, a "functional" neighborhood. I went to Winston Park Elementary and even remember voting for the mascot an Owl. I didn't vote for the owl, however, it won...or did it??? Lol, Recount!!! Before the Elementary opened I was going to Kendall Lakes Elementary for a few months. After that went to Mcmillan Jr High, now those where fun times!! Late 70's/80's I'll never forget, we took a field trip to Disney World, 9th grade graduation class and watched (I've seen some of the quilty parties in Classmates Dot com, so no names will be mentioned <wink>) Mickey Mouse or Pl...Expand for more
uto pushed into the "2000 under the sea" ride. I wasn't even involved but took off with some of my "Redneck" buddies as if we where the ones that did the dirty deed. Well, I wont get into much detail of all the pranks I was involved in. For those that knew/know me I was all ways trying to make peeps laugh and in class I was no different:) I was in the office so much I became close friends with Mr. Wisenhofer, Mcmillan V.P. at the time. What saved my ass, is that he was from Pittsburgh, Penn and was a big Pittsburgh Steelers fan as I was/am to this day!! So usually my detentions where spent in his office talking about the Steelers. In those years of JR. High, 7th,8th and 9th grade where some of the best times in school for me. I had a blast in my 9th grade year, with Marc Tanner, Russell Shryock, John Riggs, Alex Assero, Lonny Murphy, (Also Crystal Carpenter, she was well developed wink),Janet Jergalesco, Robbie Branock, Steve Uniburgh, Darren, Rick Carabata, Ronnie Gardner the list goes on. I had friends from all walks of life:) I was the only Puerto Rican/Cuban/Redneck/Burnout Gringo in Kendall at the time. I remember going to a "Rumble/Fight" "Rednecks Vs. Cubans" and when it started I couldn't hit anyone because I was friends with lots of the "Cubans" and "Rednecks" So I sat back with a few buddies and watched the fight that didn't last very long. Think it was "Gordon Z" and Doug T, that where the 1st to swing. Hell that was nearly 30 years ago cant recall everything. Still have a lot of good times that need to be visited. Hence, If anything I say brings up any memories feel free to email me or make a post and lets revisit some of them times. Then came, Sun Set Senior High, big turning point for me in life (understatement). It was the summer of 83' Aug 12th, when you in this case me, that the movie "Butterfly Effect" really hits close to home. TO BE CONTINUED!!!
