I was asked the other day where this effort was going.  It seems to be including people who were not really part of "the park". While I do not have any designs, it does appear that the park was that place in the lake where the stone landed and sent our ripples to many parts of Queens Village, Bellerose, Bayside, Floral Park and Long Island. 

The park may be the magnet that drew people together and thankfully, we seem to have been a nice enough group, that people came together and stayed together.  While there are still many 'park people' to talk with, it has been interesting to speak with people who connected with the park group but rarely set foot at Braddock.

All are welcome. Despite the number of interviews we have, there is little to no overlap in stories.  We each remember things that are uniquely important to us and that is different from everyone else. 

Thanks to everyone who has participated in getting this site launched.  You can tell this has been a team effort.

We have had over 600 hits to the site since it has launched in August, 2024.  I never expected that but what a great sign that everyone is enjoying this.

I am "blogging" not to write more of my ideas, but to allow you to comment.  Write what you want. Click on the 'comments' below and leave a reply.

If you have not sat for an interview yet, please email me at [email protected].  Takes about an hour and everyone who has contributed has lived to talked about it.  Come prepared with your stories and memories.

​To my dear friends,
