Calling all Prospect Place/Court and Sunrise Avenuers!

This is an attempt to connect with people from long, long, ago. Perhaps the connection will last one simple paragraph, never to be heard from again, or reignite to last a lifetime. Who knows. I just think it would be fun to catch up with people that share so many fond memories from childhood and beyond. Some of us already do still keep in touch. While some might be content to keep the past in the past. Either way. Lets see what happens.

Dead End Kids


Hello Everyone. Thought I'd chime in and add a few words.


As I will NOT be attending my 30 year high school reunion this June 14th, I thought the least I could do was say hello to the not so original dead end kids.


Very glad to see Joey Z. I avoided him for all of those years that he carried a real gun in case he still remembered me shooting him with my Dad's BB pistol. Man, he spun. Scared the shit out of me. And I got a serious ass whuppin' for that one.


Some names missing on the invite list but eventually we might get everyone to drop in and at least say hello. Tommy Haltigan (remember when my Dad plowed into him while playing baseball) and Alan Jean are two that come to mind.


I moved to California 13 years ago and have continued working in hotels. Right now I manage two, one of which is going to undergo construction in the next month. We've signed on Tyler Florence (it's okay, I didn't know who he was either but my Mom LOVES him) to open a restaurant so it's kind of a big deal.


Hard to believe my brother will have been married for 22 years next month. Thank you Steven for taking all of that pressure off of me. I figure if I'm not married by 50 (36 months away) I'm pretty much confirmed as a bachelor.


Thanks to Steve O (unrecognizable) for putting all this together.
And yes, that is Rupert Boneham of Survivor in the picture.

Hello Peter,
I remember the BB gun incident, but it pales in comparison to the real thing, man that hurt. Funny thing that it was a training accident with one of the new SWAT guys I was training at the range, He skipped a shot off a steel plate and caught me in the calf. No big deal, One of our medics pulled the piece of bullet out right there, but he still buys me lunch when I see him...

At least the next time I go to Cali, I know where to stay also. It's good to hear from you and to see you're doing well. Jerry O has done the right thing with this page, and thats my highest praise...

Hey Peter, it is so cool to hear from you. How am i unrecognisible? Is it because i'm fat, bald or both;-).

You were always like the Miles Davis of older brothers. Hip, cool, laid back and chillin'. A genuine chick magnet, with a bitchin music collection(even if all the chicks were actually bigger than you). You would come down the stairs with girls in tow(going out to the beach i'm sure). I would just observe like a frozen stiff geek. Ah shucks!

Yes, definitely a hard act to follow. He used up aaaaallll the mojo when he was born and didn't leave none for little ol' me.

Steve-O is right on the money about Peter F. But I also remember him being very funny. Pete would go to great lengths for a joke and I appreciate that. I still remember Pete's base ball joke. I wont repeat it, but it has been a long time and I still remember it.

Another of his talents:
Could remember every joke he ever heard.
