Not to hijack the memory lane, but this link originally startwd out regarding the tattoo school...I think. Well, driving past this afternoon, I saw them out with the entire "cast" I guess taking some pictures out in front of the location. Backto the memories (all of which appear to have happened before I was born).
While working in the bar shop in Bldg. 59 I was taught how to braze by a fellow who lived on Leo Ave. I think he may have either been a friend or a relative of your family. Had the same first name as you.
My uncle is on Leo and worked at GE, but not sure it was Bldg 59. I was in bldg 273 in the LSTG design group....I dated a girl that was a secretary. Guy I worked with was a former Marine and he and I were good friends. One day we came to work to find out that this guy had left his wife and disappeared with the secretary I had dated. They just walked out the night before and no one ever heard from them ever again.
You should all go to the tatoo school and get the Alma Matter tattooed on yourselves There now the thread has come full circle, pretty cool that all of you are here so long after your graduation, the stories and history of rotterdam are interesting to here.

How do they get the straight ink lines across our wrinkles and creases....I'm afraid of what it might look like if I stretch.
Although I'm not a native of Rotterdam, I frequented the same places at the same time... I drove my '65 Mustang fastback to work at GE, where I started working in '65. All my money went into the car, insurance payments and dates. I remember drinking flaming shots at Perfarios (spelling?) no idea where that was... also The Meadowbrook, near Auriesville, The Oasis in Amsterdam, The Rose Garden in Galway, and the Airport in Lake George, as well as the previously mentioned clubs & bars. No doubt we all have run into eachother at some point.
Ouch... Those memories are so deep in my memory, it hurts just bringing them back.

As far as tattoos, most of my uncles that served in WWII had tattoos. The older they got the worse they looked. They said they wished they never had them. They were on their forearms and they would often wear long sleeved shirts to cover them.
My Hubby grew up in Woodlawn and used to hang out with Cha Cha M. He had a 55 red chevy. He enlisted in the Marines around the time I was born. (Yes big age difference) : )
He said he saw Chubby Checkers at the place on Kings Rd.
Johnny Cash stayed at hubby's uncles house while on tour.
Most of my cousins on my Mom's side grew up in Rotterdam and my aunt Florence was a secretarty at Mohonosen for many years and my cousin is a coach there.
I talked to Marv C from the TU once and he played basketball with my uncle Fran at MP : )
From what I"m reading here think some of you would know hubby and alot of my family.
You don't have freedom because you are a hyphenated American; you have freedom because you are an individual, and that should be protected.
Jack Johnson was another great race car driver --- and a very nice man, too. His auto repair shop provided the great service and I always felt confident taking my vehicles there for any work that needed to get done.
“And yet our opponents tell us not to interfere with abortion. They tell us not to impose our morality on those who wish to allow or participate in the taking of the life of infants before birth. Yet no one calls it imposing morality to prohibit the taking of life after a child is born. We’re told about a woman’s right to control her own body. But doesn’t the unborn child have a higher right, and that is to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness?” – Ronald Reagan
