Dear Mr. Coney Island...
Do you have any pictures of the old school PS 80. It was on West 18th Street. I went to school there back in 1967. Thank you very much.

I lived on W. 16th St. right around the corner from PS 80. I remember my kindergarten tcr. Mrs. Kirstein. She could sing like a bird and play the piano too. I remember the two Miss Fryes. They were sisters. Both first grade teachers. But Mr. Finn I remember the most. He wrote a fictional musical play about Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn. He wrote all the music which went all the way to the "Children's Hour" TV show. He was brilliant!!! He should have produced musical plays on Broadway. I was in PS 80 from 1948 until 1954. Those were the days.

I lived on W. 25th street between mermaid & Neptune aves. & started p.s.80 in 1939 & mark twain in 1945. I was a terrible student & played hooky often. Fished off steeple chase pier & gravesend bay. I remember in p.s. school, Bertram Smith & Gwen Davis in my class. Went on to Lincoln highn& Jamaica high & wound up in Kew Gardens Hills. Went to college & became a Chiropractor in Merrick, L.I. Retired & have been living in Park City, Utah- a skier. I also taught in Colombia Chiropractic College for 10 years. Traveled all over the world. Wish I could do it all over again- but with my beautiful Bernice. God loves you & peace be with you. Love!

I am just wondering about the photo. I've never known of any "newer" 1920's Public School buildings to have been demolished in NYC, not even at present (2024).
