Robert's Story

Life Hi, I spent my first thirteen years in Bangor PA. I lived on north main st.In an old double house, that my mom and dad had bought for 3,800 dollars.I had some of the best times of my life there. Playing baseball and fishing and watching fireworks from Rosetto on our front stoop. Sleigh ridding and building snow forts in the winter. Then at 14 we moved to Alpha,NJ. I lived on seventh ave. Had real good times there too. There was some great kids in that neighborhood. At 16 I quit high school and went to work with my father at Bruce Homes.That was who built our house on seventh ave, although my father did most of the work. I remember we had a concrete patio on the side of the house, that I had but a large ceramic "B" in the middle of. Had to quit the job though,because I was too young. That Sept. went back to school until March or April and quit again. This time I went to work for M.C. Ricciardi Co. in Alpha. I remember going to Jimmies and Toby's for hotdogs and to Joes and Bill's on South Main in P"burg for steaks. What a time.The crusing on Northampton St. in Easton...Expand for more
, PA. Times at the dances at the "Y", and the Youth club in P'Burg. The great football games on friday nights. That was the real "FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS". I joined the Navy in Jan. 1966. Went to book camp At The Great Lakes. Shipped to San Francisco for a month and a half.Than on to Hawaii. Was shore station there for a month or so, then was stationed on the USS Jenkins from 1966 until she was decomissioned in 1969. Met my wife Kathy in Hawaii. She was there on vacation. Got out of the navy in 1969. Moved to Farmingdale LI,NY. Got married in June 1970. Have two kids, son and daughter.Son and daughter are married. My son and his wife have a boy, and my daughter and her husband have two girls. That is all both a going to have. So I guess I have the perfect family.
