Hello to everyone.I attended St.Cecilia's in the years 1975 through 1983. I am trying to locate Mr. Anthony Aratari's burial site. I need closure with my teacher. He was one of the best teachers. I was in all his plays. Mr. Aratari wrote and dedicated a childrens book to me called"Jingle Pennies" I am now a teacher and I always remember him and talk to my students about this wonderful person who has impacted my life and the lives of so many others. Please contact me with any information of his burial whereabouts. I truly admired and never can forget him. I really implore anyone out there who can help me with this matter. God Bless Everyone. Sincerely Cesar Cevallos 20 January 2010 - I live in New Jersey

What memories your website brings back. I was a student at P.S. 72 but took religious instructions at St. Cecilia's. Given by the many fine sisters at that time. This was in the 1930's.

RICE high School Where the BLACK STRAP was KING. The memories of Pain at still there but. Here the Christian Brothers of Ireland were teaching. This was a puzzling group They were brutal most were ex combat vets that served in WWII and had there lives saved by GOD in that engagement. I truly believe that I was blessed and thank the Lord For having this experience as part of my life. I left El Barrio in 1996 {Spanish Harlem} Mover to several places altma springs Florida, Atlanta Georgia, Dallas Texas back to Atlanta and still dream of coming back to my roots.

Hola. I thought I had posted on this site before.but I guess not. It has been a 'trip' down memory lane, for sure, in reading all these postings.and feeling the warmth and love of having been a part of something that is still so dear to everyone. St.Cecilia's was a great place. I always remember the feast of St Cecilia on 11/22 no matter where I am.it was also the same day we lost JFK. My parents still live in the neighborhood but moved from 104th and 2nd to 92nd and York. I remember Srs.Kevin, Noelle, Veronica,and Ignatius, Mrs. Marciano and Mrs. Hernandez. Also Bros. Grogran, Somerville, Sorhaindo, and Fr. Whelan. Thanks to some of your postings, I began to remember some others as well.I attended St Simon Stock HS in the Bronx and then BMCC, and then Hunter College. There is a site on classmates, for adding one's name, for free, to the alumni list. One can also network and plan reunions.it sure would be great. As my parents still live nearby.and I visit NY often. My brothers, Francisco Santos and Sigfredo Santos(aka Chicky) attended SCS as well. and my cousin, Miguel Santos, attended Commander Shea. I have always missed those good old days. 4 December 2008 - Paris
