Robert's Story
My story? Well let's just have another sip of Maker's Mark and think about this.
I attended TSNY between 1980 - 1984 and remember those years as some of the happiest of my life. Of course it was a long time ago so...
Some of the people I remember and spent time with:
Linda Ross (office admin - does anyone know what happened to her?)
Harry Perilstein - a good man I did not appreciate nearly enough.
Harold Higgins - that history final was brutal!
"Mr. Gordon"
"Roman"
Pamela Gordon
and of course my best friend John Asta.
John and I remained close friends after TSNY. We shared many good times together and supported each other through the difficult times when a person is just starting out in the world. A few years ago my friend (and our classmate) John died of a heart attack. He was in Brazil with his son David at the time of the incident. By the time David was able to get someone's attention it was too late.
I have uploaded a picture of John and h...Expand for more
is son David. The picture was taken around 2005.
After graduating TSNY I headed west for Arizona and attended school at Northern Arizona University. After graduating NAU I worked in NYC as a photographer. Which was very glamorous when you are a young single guy!
Got into computers and worked at Madison Square Garden between 1997 - 2002. It was my job to keep the computer systems working during events in the arena. And yes...it was fun! :)
2003 I headed back to Arizona and married the woman I am still with to this day. In 2007 God blessed us with a daughter.
I live in Phoenix, Arizona now. Once or twice a year I make it back to NYC. One of these times I will get together with Headmaster Higgins to catch-up.
I keep up with TSNY/Beekman School on Facebook. Please feel free to reach out to me on FB, I would love to hear from another TSNY person.
I hope my fellow TSNY classmates are doing well.
Thank you for reading this.
Peace be with you.
