Hey Tommy, you could have been the Star Quarterback for Coral Park, what happened? Frank Oquindo has a picture of you and him at that game in the rain when we played Jackson and the forfeited.
Such great memories from Coral Park and the Westchester neighborhood. Cant believe 50 years have passed.. I still think I am a teenager!:-)
If the information I found on the net is correct, Mr. Heilberg was born Louis Max Heilberg in Cologne Germany on April 23, 1936. He and his family escaped Nazi Germany and were spared the holocast as so many fellow Jews where not. He arrived from Rotterdam to the United States to Manhattan on August 10, 1948. He became a naturalized citizen on August 26, 1954. He died so young at age 53 on June 8, 1989. Thinking back, I wish he might of shared his family's story of survival. Perhaps his horrible wartime experiences and his family's exodus from Europe manafested in his wit and humor, as a coping for all he experienced. May he rest in peace, and even though I am writting these words thirty years after his passing, there was so much more to Mr. Heilberg then what we could see as youngsters.
Perhaps my favorite teacher..quirky, humorous and colorful...his sarcasm was famous..but never met to injure..a lasting memory in my mind...may God rest your soul in peace Mr. H...heaven became a more humorous place by his wit and laughter! David Leavitt
A truly good guy..passed at age 62 in Iowa in January 2014...we hung together a great deal, he was into jounalism, sports, and photography..died much too young! Born in Illinois July 14, 1951, about a week after I was..gives me a haunting feeling..read his inscription in my 1969 yearbook..so young and care free...may God rest and keep his soul...David Leavitt
He was a good guy...many fond memories of the Rampage and yearbook...he, along with Lou Heilberg, my favorite Coral Park teachers...he proceeded so many of us..my memories of the late 60's include so many times in his classes...may God rest his soul and keep him... David Leavitt
Mr. Woodmansee was a very hands on teacher. His teaching methods were what I would consider superior. He was also a ver talented artist. Talk about a small world. Around 1985 I was inspecting troops in my platoon at the Army Reserve Military Police Company in Ocala Florida and I noticed a young Soldier whos name tag said Woodmanse. I asked this young man if he was from Miami and if he was related to Mr. Woodmansee. He said yes! What do you know. He was a Student at the U. Of Florida in Gainesville and was in the reserves to help pay for his tutition.
Alan Bloom was the most inspirational teacher I remember. His teaching technique was unique and I really enjoyed being in his class.
Hi Truly,
Hope to see you at the reunion!
