We were members of the D.A. Beach Club - in fact, we lived next door the D.A. Beach on Clarence Avenue & Randall Avenue in Throggs Neck. My mom is the longest standing member of the D.A. - she's been a member since her teens - she's now 76 years old - she even had her wedding to my dad (reception) at the D.A. close to 52 years old. Both my daughters were raised in the D.A. - my eldest Nicole (25 years old) was one of their star swimmers. It was great growing up in the Bronx - right on the water - what can be better. My mom, myself and eldest daughter are still residing in Throggs Neck - unfortunately, my younger daughter Danielle was murdered in Pelham Bay on 2/23/06 by her x-boyfriend and it's become almost unbearable to live in the Bronx since her death because of all her memories - I've been flying back and forth from NYC to Washington State (staying with relatives) since her death - my next trip to NYC is in February and hopefully, after 2 years, I won't become depressed seeing her friends, our old house on Vincent Avenue & Lafayette Avenue.
Re the Castill Hill Pool and Shorehaven Clubs - my husband and family belonges to the Castill Hill Pool (Schiaffo) and I knew people joined the D.A. when the Shorehaven closed. The most memorable person from that group is Nancy (they call her Nancy the nurse) - she use to work in Calvary Hospital.

I went to Castle Hill Day Camp throughout the 60s--would love to hear from others who were there at that time. I can be reached at hblaw@pipeline.com. Thanks! Holly Baum |

Yes!!! Yes, it does SkyDog! Thanks! Great times we had there, swimming, bbqing, playing ping pong and they had a great concession stand with yummy french fries sold in a white paper cone cup. Good times! Dunno why but fries with ketchup and salt always tastes better when eaten outdoors. |

Garygone, God bless you. Please put this under the discussion topics on this board, please? I lived on Bruckner Blvd, I always remember the Indian reservation, I always remember Orchard Beach, before all this diversity and tolerance crap. What a damn shame.....yep, we have memories, and damn good ones..... |
