Hi All,

My name is Charis Anderson - I'm a reporter for The Bronx Beat and am working on an article about stickball in the Bronx.

If anyone is willing to talk with me about your memories of stickball (or current experiences with stickball), please email me at ca2257@columbia.edu.

Thanks so much!

cheers, Charis

I WONDER IF YOU KNOW RUTH...CAN'T THINK OF HER LAST NAME.....SHE'S ALSO A JOURNALIST AT COLUMBIA.

Is it Buzzee?

Yvonne saw that you mentioned 183rd St. did you live nearby, knew some kids that lived in the area in the 50's 60's.

Hi Donna, I lived on 183 and Creston. The kids you mentioned would have been a few years older than me.

Did you know anyone that went to SSS on 182nd St.
There were a whole bunch of kids that went to that school....Susan Spielberg, John O'Connell
Terry Messina,they all lived right on Creston towards the middle of the block and next to the bar was a couple of private houses, girl I went to school with lived there, her family owned most of 183rd St.
She went with a fella that worked in the Associated Food Market that eventually got burned out. She also went on to become a great singer with her own group, The Innocents, I haven't seen her in years.
