Thanks for all the wonderful memories which came to me from your site. I graduated Erasmus a year after you did. What good times those were!

What a delightful surprise for a rainy Saturday morning in the Carolinas! Pictures of 410 Westminster Road, the local garage b-ball court at the Larkins, Cortelyou Road, Erasmus Hall etc. Some corroboration, verbal, not photographic, may be found on my website,http://ww2.coastal.edu/millus/ where I have my book on growing up in Brooklyn, mostly across from 410, the Hirschman's apartment house. The book is entitled "The Ebbets Field Knothole: Brooklyn, N.Y., 1939-1961" and mentions many of Dr. Hirschman's friends. (Also cf my "Wading South" available from Amazon.Com which deals more with Prospect Park Lake and Sheepshead Bay--but beware: it's a book of poems and prose explications.) And I testify that Hirschman was a good athlete even before he was ten!

Mazeltov, y'all!

your black and whites are great, but i have always been partial to B&W. I am glad that someone is taking these photos and archiving them. That is a lot of work.
